>> To reduce the scene view (zoom out)
In the Automation screen, click the down (bottom) Zoom List spin button.
The following diagram shows a typical Automation screen at minimum zoom.
Show les
Show les are only handled via the GUI, using the Automation and Files screens
of the GUI menu.
Managing show les
The Automation screen lets you create new shows, load existing ones and
update the current show le with the latest settings.
For details of how to use the show function buttons to create a new show,
save a show, create a new show from the current settings and load a show,
see “Managing the shows” in chapter 9.

Item Element Item Element Description

show le (see “To load a show”).

7 SHOW EDITOR button See “Show editor”.
Managing show les on the Files screen
Show les can be transferred between the PRO X and an external USB device,
such as a USB memory stick. This lets you backup and archive your show les, so
none will be lost, and also transfer them to other PRO Series systems. You can
even create templates for new shows, so that you don’t have to start from
scratch, or modify existing show les. All this is done via the Files screen; see
Chapter 25 “File Management”.
For details of how to back up/export your les and also how to import them
from an external source, see “Saving your show les to a USB memory stick”
in chapter 9.
Rehearsals
Rehearsal mode lets you skip scenes/point scenes to match the arbitrary nature
of the performance sequence during rehearsals.
>> To select a scene to ‘skip’ and to ‘unskip’ a scene
See “Editing scene properties”.
>> To carry out a rehearsal
1. Click REHEARSAL.
2. Carry out the rehearsal as necessary. (Note how the scenes selected as
‘skipped’ are missed out during the show’s rehearsal, as you use the last,
now and next buttons.)
3. To end the rehearsal, click REHEARSAL.
Safes
Important:
Safes are intended for emergency use only and are not to be confused
with scope (see Chapter 21 “Scope (Automation)”).
Safes are incorporated into the PRO X to prevent certain controls from being
recalled with a scene. Safe activation and status are provided on both the control
surface and the GUI.
There are six types of channel safe: EQ, dynamic, mic/cong., auto, mute and
fader. Although some types of safe are channel-specic, any channel can be
made safe from o-channel mute, fader and automation control. Also, solo
(for monitor areas A and B) is always out of scene on any channel.
Note: The MIC button on the outputs operates as a conguration safe, rather than
a mic safe.
All of the channel safe areas, except MIC safe, have local LEDs on the control
surface to show their in/out status, which are provided in each channel/group
fast strip and in the safes sections of the overview and processing area displays of
the GUI channel strip.
VCA groups only have mute and fader safes, and these can only be only switched
on/o via the GUI; see “VCA and POP groups” in chapter 17. Mute safe status
indication is provided both on the control surface (VCA/POP group section of
master bay) an in the GUI channel strip.
For details of which parameters are protected by the safes, see Appendix M
“Parameters Protected By Safes”.
