124 Chapter 10 Playing back cues
Timed faders and LED displays
Each fader slider has a strip of LEDs next to it. When running a timed
crossfade cue, the lit LEDs indicate the progress of the cue. This is
displayed as a percentage. For example, when the LEDs are at 5, 50
percent of the cue has run.
The faders function in level override mode. This means that the fader
sliders control the percentage of completion of the fade.
The console has two timed fader pairs, called
the A/B and C/D fader pairs, that allow you to
play back recorded cues (A/B pair illustrated at
right). The left slider (A and C) of each fader pair
controls upfades. The right slider (B and D) of
each fader pair controls downfades. When
reference is made in this and other sections of
this User Manual to a fader, you should assume
that both sliders of the fader pair are implied
unless otherwise noted.
You may play back a cue using the timing
information programmed into it, or you may
take manual control of the slider(s). Taking
manual control of faders is covered under
Controlling fades manually, page 129.
You may play back cues one at a time through
the same fader, or you may simultaneously play
back a different cue in each fader. For example,
you may play a ten-minute sunset cyc cue in
one fader and play several cues during the
same period in the other fader. You may also
play a cue in one fader, leave it there, and then
play another cue in the second fader.
