Chapter 17: Control Groups
PRO X control groups comprise VCA/POP groups, auto-mute groups and talk
groups. This chapter explains the function of each group and shows you the areas
on the control surface and GUI that are used for their operation and management.
Many of the control group functions can be operated at either the control surface
or GUI. Each control group has its own area on the control surface from where
its groups can be set up and recalled, and there is a main option in the GUI menu
(Control Groups) from which you can open the Groups Sheet screen and the
group-specic screens. Using these screens, you can congure and operate the
groups, and also manage group membership.
VCA and POP groups
Using the VCA/POP group controls, you can bring selected channels to the control
surface for joint control. The VCA/POP group sections are situated at the bottom
of the mix bay. When a VCA/POP is selected, its members are unfolded to the
input bays.
There are 10 VCA groups. Their controls, such as fader, LCD select button etc.,
are housed in fast strips at the bottom of the mix bay. POP groups, however, are
fewer in number (eight-o). These only have an LCD each, and are housed in a
population groups section just above the VCAs.
The GUI provides full support for the hardware controls. This is in the
VCA Groups screen of the GUI menu, which also includes an unfold button and
a solo area B button for each group. This screen also provides VCA/POP group
conguration and management functions.
Each VCA/POP group can have a combination of channel types as members,
although it is usual to have only either inputs or outputs. Only the input channels
are unfolded to the control surface (in the input bays).
