Setting the conguration preferences
WARNING!
CHANGING THE SYNCHRONISATION CAN RESULT IN LOUD
NOISES FROM THE SYSTEM. ALWAYS MUTE THE PA AT THE
AMPLIFIER/SPEAKER BEFORE CHANGING THE SYNCHRONISATION SOURCE
OR MASTER/SLAVE STATUS.
Caution:
The Automate Patching option switches on per-scene
automatic routing, and must be used with caution. To alert
you to the drastic consequences of using this option, a WARNING
window appears.
The tabs of the Preferences screen lets you congure the system as follows:
• Eects and GEQs — drop-down list from which you can select the desired
combination of eects and GEQs (see Chapter 15 “Graphic Equaliser (GEQ)”
in chapter 15).
• Automate Patching — ticking this option lets you change audio patching
in automation (see “Using patching in automation” in chapter 20).
• Surround Mode — select the type of surround mode you want. Otherwise,
select None for no surround mode.
• Mic Splitter Inputs — if you are linking to another PRO X or PRO Series
Control Centre (for example, for FOH and MON operation) this option lets
you select the type of inputs (A or B) you want for this PRO X Control Centre.
The other Control Centre must be set with the alternate option. For example,
if you select Use B Inputs at this control centre, the other one will have to
be set for Use A Inputs.
• Master/Slave Status — selects the synchronisation source of the PRO X
Control Centre’s digital audio, which can be either internal or external. For
conguration details when connecting two PRO Series Control Centre’s, see
“Using multiple digital consoles” in chapter 26.
If you choose Master (internal), all system units must be congured for
external sync source.
If you want an external sync source, choose Slave. Then, select the sync
source from the Sync Source drop-down list (below). On the sync source
itself, for example, a line I/O or mic splitter, congure its sync source
as internal.
• Sync Source — drop-down list from which you can select the
synchronisation source. This is where the console can be set as either a
primary or secondary sync source.
• Stage Link X and Stage Link Y — select the snake type for each network.
This must be done before operating the PRO Series Control Centre,
otherwise it will not work.
• Fan Speed — select the speed of the internal cooling fan of the PRO X
Control Centre as High (fast) or Low (slow). If you are operating the PRO X
in a warm or hot environment, we recommend that you select the High
option. If the noise of the fan operation is causing a problem, select the Low
or OFF option.
• Date and Time — click the SET button to set the date and time
(see “Setting the time and date”).
Changing the user interface preferences
The User Interface section of the User tab of the Preferences screen lets you
set some of the PRO X Control Centre’s operating parameters to suit your
own preferences.
• Display Rotary Values — the current value of a control knob can be
displayed as a numerical value on the GUI (see “Parameter values displayed
on touch” in chapter 6).
• Fast Zone Delay Control — selecting this option means that you place
the delay control for the inputs onto the surface controls. To do this you
have to cycle the gain swap switch (see “Mic amp input gain (preliminary
input processing)” in chapter 30) through digital gain, analogue gain and
then delay. Without selecting this option, the inputs delay control is a GUI
only feature.
• Input Select Follows Solo — when you solo an aux or matrix output, the
channel is automatically selected, thus bringing the output controls to the
surface detail area. This option only works in fader ip mode.
• Output Select Follows Solo - TBA
• Automate Paging — select this option to store channel paging in
automation. So that, on scene recall, the control surface (channels assigned
to it) will revert to the state it was in when the scene was last saved. When
unselected, scene recall does not aect channel paging.
• Touch Navigation of Detail Area - TBA
• User Global Meters Pre as Tap Button - TBA
• Flash Global Tap Continuously - TBA
• Collapsed Flip (Hide Unassigned Channels) - TBA
• Outputs on Input Bay - TBA
• Overwrite parameters — see “Overriding store scope” in chapter 20.
• Fader ip:
• Choose between Flip to faders and Flip to Pans to control the
currently selected mix bus using the faders or the pan control buttons,
