VCA assignment 1 - detailed operation

Note: Front Panel Switches are indicted by BOLD-HYPHENATED-CAPITALIZED-TEXT. For the 8 VCA Masters, the switch to select the Master for assignment is indicated by "VCA-#-SOLO", # represents a number 1 thru 8.There are two methods for doing VCA Assignment on the X-VCA.

This first method assigns Channels to Masters:

One of the Channels (any Input, or one of the 8 Audio Groups) is selected and its assignment to all of the 8 Masters can be viewed at a glance. Changes can be made as needed, and then a new Channel selected for editing. Or, the same Channel can remain selected and the Scene can change (using the Scroll Buttons). For this to occur, the VFS switch must be down. If the VFS switch is not depressed, the assignment changes are only affecting Scene-0, the display will have no bearing on the VCA data.VCA Safe is also implemented in this Mode.

VCA Assignment- Channel to Masters:

1.Starting with the Console in NOM Mode, the EDIT-CHAN-VCA-ASN switch is pressed.

2.Any Solos that were active are cancelled, the Console SOLO system is disabled.The Safe/Preview bi-color LEDs on the Channels will switch-over from showing Mute condi- tions (RED=Muted, Green =Mute Safe), to showing VCA Safe (Steady Green=VCA Safe).

3.The EDIT-CHAN-VCA-ASN sw begins to blink, indicating that the Console is in VEM Mode.

4.The user must then select a Channel to edit by pressing the desired Channel’s SOLO switch.

Only relevant Channel SOLO switches can be selected at this point, any non-VCA relat- ed Solos are ignored.

5.That Channel’s SOLO LED then begins to also blink indicating its selection.

6.The VCA Assignment and Mute data for this Edit will become active, replacing the prior, Normal Data.

7.Any VCA Master that this Channel is assigned to (for this Scene) will now have its SOLO LED also blinking.

8.The user can then view the Channel’s assignment by observing the blinking LEDs of the VCA Master Solo switches.

9.The User can Clear the selected Channel’s assignment to any of the Masters (for this Scene) by pressing and holding down the blinking EDIT-CHAN-VCA-ASN switch for 2 seconds.

10.The assignment can be Changed by pressing any of the VCA-SOLO switches located below the Master VCA faders.The LED will change state, immediately assigning or de- assigning that Channel to that Master.

11.The next Channel to be viewed can now be selected by pressing its SOLO switch- Go to step 4 OR- the same Channel can remain selected and the next Scene assignment viewed- IF in VFS Mode.

12.Use the Scroll Up/Down arrows to select another Scene to view.

13.The user scrolls to the desired Scene and changes the assignment as in Step 7.

14.To exit VEM Mode, the original EDIT-CHAN-VCA-ASN switch is pressed again. It stops blinking, the Console returns to NOM Mode and the original Scene data is restored–OR- The user can press one of the 8 EDIT-VCA-ASSIGN buttons and jump directly into VCA Assignment Method –2 (see next page)
