channel mute controls
J—STATUS LED
This bi-color LED, associated with each controlled-mute, shows the con- dition of that mute.
One-of-five possible states is possible:
1OFF —The channel is not controlled by the MUTE CONTROLLER.
2STEADY RED —The channel is being muted by a MUTE SCENE.
3STEADY GREEN—The channel is in SAFE MODE, cannot be muted by any scene.
4FLASHING RED—The system is in EDIT/PREVIEW mode and the channel is in the currently selected SCENE.
5FLASHING GREEN—The system is in EDIT SAFE mode and the channel is included in the SAFE SCENE.
6MUTE SWITCH —This momentary-switch toggles the channel’s LOCAL MUTE and is also used to assign/un-assign channels to MUTE and SAFE SCENES, when in the EDIT mode.
7MUTE LED —This internal red-LEDwill illuminate whenever the channel is muted, either locally or by a MUTE SCENE.
If a channel is already locally muted when a relevant MUTE SCENE is activat- ed, this LED will remain lit. Two sources are now telling the channel to mute: the LOCAL MUTE and the MUTE SCENE. If the MUTE switch K is pressed once, the LOCAL MUTE will be cleared, but no apparent change will occur. The MUTE LED L will still be lit, and the STATUS LED J will still be steady-red.
At this point there is only one source telling the channel to mute;the MUTE SCENE. If the MUTE SCENE is then disabled, the channel will un-mute because the LOCAL MUTE was previously cleared.
The user should be aware of this fact—the local mutes can toggle invisibly behind a MUTE SCENE. For an even number of presses on the MUTE switch K,the LOCAL MUTE will return to its original state,an odd-number of press- es will change the LOCAL MUTE to its opposite-state.
