safe scene

There may be occasions when a channel needs to be made SAFE from all programmed mutes. This may occur during a show when an on-stage microphone needs to be used as an announcer’s mic, or a switch-over has to be made to a backup-channel due to some technical difficulty.The SAFE SCENE allows a channel to be removed from the control of all mute scenes without having to edit any of the scenes. Once a channel is assigned to the SAFE SCENE, it will ignore all MUTE SCENE commands.The mute scenes them- selves are not altered, it’s only the channel’s response that has been changed.

This feature allows temporary changes to be made to a show,due to night- ly needs, without having to edit the programmed scenes. The original scenes will still be stored in memory the next-time the show is performed.

The SAFE SCENE is always active, if a channel is assigned to the SAFE SCENE, it will ignore any mute commands from a MUTE SCENE.The STATUS LED J of a channel will be a steady-green color—if a channel is safe.

Editing the SAFE SCENE

1Enter EDIT SAFE mode

Press the EDIT SAFE button D, it will begin to blink, indicating that the sys- tem is in EDIT SAFE mode.

2Select a channel to safe

Pressing the MUTE switch K of a channel will assign/de-assign a channel to the SAFE SCENE.The STATUS LED J of any channel assigned to the SAFE SCENE will blink-green. If a channel is currently muted because of a MUTE SCENE, assigning it to the SAFE SCENE will immediately un-mute it.

3Clearing the SAFE SCENE

If you wish to clear all assigned channels from the SAFE SCENE, press and hold the EDIT PREVIEW C button. After a brief delay, the display will change to CLR?. Continue to hold the button-down until the display shows CLRD.All channels assigned to the SAFE SCENE will be de-assigned.

4Exit EDIT SAFE mode

Press the blinking EDIT SAFE button D again. It will stop-blinking and the system will return to NORMAL mode.Any blinking-green STATUS LED’s will turn to steady-green, indicating that the channel is in SAFE mode.

If a channel was previously being muted exclusively by a MUTE SCENE (STA- TUS LED steady-red), but is now safe, then the STATUS LED will indicate steady-green and the MUTE LED L will be off. If the channel was being muted by a LOCAL MUTE, it will remain muted.The SAFE SCENE does not

affect LOCAL MUTES.

The LOCAL MUTE com-	+
mand is not affected

by this SAFE, the LOCAL MUTE is always effective.

If an emergency arises	+
and a programmed

channel has to be un-muted, a channel can by quickly assigned to the SAFE SCENE via a three-step process:

1Press the EDIT SAFE switch to enter EDIT SAFE mode.

2Press the MUTE switch for the desired channel. The channel will un-mute.

3Press the EDIT SAFE switch again to return to

NORMAL mode.
