Chapter 17: Control Groups
PRO2 control groups comprise VCA, POPulation, MCA, auto-mute and talk groups. This
chapter explains the functions of each of these groups and shows you the areas on the
control surface and GUI that are used for their operation and management.
VCA and POPulation groups
A VCA/POPulation group can contain any combination of channels. When you select a
group via the control surface its channel members are unfolded to the channel faders
from right to left. Recalling another VCA/POPulation group deselects the one currently
selected.
The GUI provides full support for both groups on the VCA Groups screen. This
replicates the VCA hardware controls and provides extra functionality. This screen also
provides group member management.
For information on group selection and navigation, see Chapter 6 "Working With The
PRO2 Control Centre" on page 37 and Chapter 7 "Navigation" on page 43.
For details of VCA/POPulation group configuration and operation, see “Using VCA/
POPulation groups” on page 74.
>> To select a VCA/POPulation group
Press the LCD select button of the desired group. If you are selecting a VCA group,
VCAs must be assigned to the mix faders; if necessary, press the VCA button in the
mix bay section first. If a group is already selected, this will be replaced by the new
selection.
Pressing the LCD button a currently selected group will deselect it.
