Fader Specic Features
Individual fader control parameters include assignment of the target device, fader mode, device
channel, A/B mixer sub-channel source selection, fader scaling, signal level LED transition points,
and assignment to master fader. An individual fader “Clear Function” button appears when editing
any control point in a fader row, and returns that fader back to it’s default settings.
Fader:
The total number of faders available on the FR remote are shown here, either 8 or 16.
Device: Each fader can target one device from the drop down device list, or be left inactive.
Mode: Once a target DSP device has been selected, a fader can operate in one of three
modes, Mixer Mode, I/O Level Control Mode, or A/B Source Select Mode.
1) Mixer Mode - In mixer mode, a fader is rst assigned to a target device’s output
channel mixer, then assigned one of that mixer’s available input channels, also called the Sub
channel. The fader action controls the sub channel’s signal level applied to that output mixer.
2) I/O Level Control Mode - In I/O level control mode, a fader controls a single
dedicated input or output gain control in the DSP section, but not in the mixer section. For control-
ling a stereo signal, link input or output gain functions together using the software control surface of
the target DSP device.
3) A/B Source Select - In A/B source select mode, a push button toggles between
two different inputs assigned to one output mixer. The inputs must rst be routed to the output mixer
of the DSP device under control, then two available input sources for A/B selection are assigned.
The fader adjusts the level of the currently toggled input to that mixer.
LED function in mixer or I/O level mode: In this mode, push button LEDs indicate
signal level by ashing green and amber, and indicate mute with solid red. LED signal level thresh-
olds have default settings of -22dBu for green and +14dBu for amber, and can be changed by the
user. Note that a LED assigned to an input gain control or mixer input source indicates pre-fader
signal level, while one associated with an output gain stage is post-fader.
LED function in A/B source select mode: In this mode, the LED will either be solid
red for source “A”, or solid green for source “B”. In A/B source select mode, the green signal level
function is disabled, as is the mute function. The amber signal level LED still operates normally.
LED Level Transition Points - Signal level
LEDs have two thresholds, rst where the
green signal LED turns on, then when it transitions from green to amber. Both points can be dened by
the user for each fader. Factory default transition points are -22dBu for green and +14dBu for amber.
Note that the green signal level LED is disabled in A/B source select mode, but not amber.
Fader Scaling - The gain range for target DSP gain stages is -50dB to +12dB. By default,
the fader will use the full range of the DSP gain function under its control. Using fader scaling, an
upper and/or lower dB limit can be set to avoid insufcient or excessive audio level.
Master Fader Assignment -
Faders can be individually selected or unselected for control by
the master fader. The factory default is for all faders to be assigned to the master fader. If a fader appears to be
functioning but has no effect on level, check that the master fader is not muted or turned down.
