VCA Assignment - starting fresh

When creating an assignment list for a new show, it’s usually a good idea to clear out the assignments from the previous show. Even thought editing assignments is not difficult, there may be a series of edits that you may run into in your old list that need to be cancelled. Instead of having to worry about which assignments need to be changed, the X-VCA per- mits the assignments to be cleared by using the Utility function of the Micro.Two separate clear functions are provided; the first clears the Default Assignment, the second clears the Sequenced Scene Assignments.The Default Assignment is also referred to as the "Scene-0" Assignment.This the VCA assignment the Console reverts to whenever the VFS (VCA Follow Scene) switch is in the UP position.Any VCA edits performed while this switch is UP affect this Default Scene.The Sequenced Scenes are the 128 Scenes accessed by the Recall (Next) button. Each press of this button steps the Console to the next Scene in the list.This recalls the stored VCA assignments plus any Scene Mutes that are stored.To Clear the two VCA Assignment memories, use the Utility Mode:

1.Press the Utility switch on the Micro Panel, it will latch down, putting the sys- tem into Utility Mode.

2.Use the Scroll Down key until you see "VCA0" or "VCAS" in the display.VCA0 represents the Default Scene-0,VCAS represents ALL the Sequenced Scenes (128 total).

3.To clear the Default Scene, press the NEXT button when "VCA0" is shown in the display.

4.The display will now show "Clr?". Pressing the NEXT key again will clear the VCA assignment for the Default Scene-0.The display will show ****, and ALL Channels will be un-assigned to all VCA Masters for the Default Scene-0.

5.If you don’t wish to perform the Clear, press the Scroll Up or Down key.The display will show "Hold". Pressing the NEXT key will maintain(Hold) the current Default assignment and allow you to go on to other Utility functions.

6.If you wish to clear ALL the 128 Sequenced Scene VCA assignments, perform steps 3,4 & 5 as above, but starting with "VCAS" in the display.

7.Press the Utility button again to release it to exit Utility Mode and return to Normal Operating Mode.
