4 MUTE switch. This is, technically, not a mute but a fader minus infinity (-∞)
switch that overrides the VCA group master (without moving its physical
position). The VCA group mutes can be stored and recalled as part of the
scene automation. When on, it mutes all post-fader signals from channels
that have been assigned to the VCA group master (regardless of local
press, scene mute and SIP mute, which affect only the mute status
indicator while channel is muted by VCA). However, it does not update the
mute status indicator on the channel (only channel outputs). On removal of
the VCA mute, the channel outputs are updated to the current state of the
channel mute status indicator.
The VCA control group mute has been removed from scene recall and auto-
mute action. When mute safe is active all channel mute activation
methods, other than by local press, are ignored. De-activating the mute
safe condition re-evaluates and applies the current status of auto-mute and
SIP mute.
5 Area B button. When this is enabled, the first three group members are
assigned to area B on group activation.
6 unfold button, assigns the VCA group to the control surface, unfolding the
group members to the channel faders.
7 VCA group ID, fixed and user-configured name of group.
8 MTE button for selecting mute safe. Integral LED illuminates when the
button is switched on.
9 FDR button for selecting fader safe. Integral LED illuminates when the
button is switched on.
