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
1 Enter EDIT SAFE mode
Press the EDIT SAFE button D, it will begin to blink, indicating that the sys-
tem is in EDIT SAFE mode.
2 Select 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.
3 Clearing 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.
4 Exit 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.
