The following sections are only available if Add to Input Pool is checked.

Fader Start

option description
Fader Start LevelSelect a level, which sets the fader start logic to on.
On StartThe fader start is only activated and deactivated by pushing the On/Off key, not by moving the fader.
Auto OffBy closing the fader, the channel is automatically switched OFF (ON key is deactivated).

Advanced

option description
Timer ResetIf this check box is selected, opening this fader will reset and start the Auto timer of the stopwatch.

Channel Logics

option description
Channel On LogicSelect a Logic Function from the Logic Sources window, which sets the channel to ON. You can choose, for example, a GPI to open a channel.
Channel Off LogicSelect a Logic Function from the Logic Sources window, which sets the channel to OFF. You can choose, for example, a GPI to close a channel.

Fader Function Logics

option description
Activate Fader Function Enable fader function for this channel. Default value is off. Fader Function correlates with key function fader function (See Console - Key Elements for more information). Fader function keys can serve as a logical source, e.g. for Talk purposes.
Lamp Source 1 • If you have assigned the Fader Function key function to a key of a fader module, here you can select a logic source which causes the LED of this key to light up.
• The default logic source is the fader function of the selected fader channel itself (Fader Function/FF <Faderchname>). In this case, the key is lighting up when the fader function is active.
• To change the logic source, click Select, the Logic Sources window opens. Select the desired logic source and click Assign. Alternatively, you can double-click on the logic source or drag the logic source to the Source box.
Examples: As talk key for clean feeds or as talk key for headphones, which are assigned to certain microphones (configuration via output functions), fader start on/off for play-out devices (configuration via logic function).
Lamp Source 2 • If you have assigned the Fader Function key function to a key of a fader module, here you can select a logic source which causes the LED of this key to light up.
• To change the logic source, click Select, the Logic Sources window opens. Select the desired logic source and click Assign. Alternatively, you can double-click on the logic source or drag the logic source to the Source box.
• If lamp source 1 is active, lamp source 2 will be ignored. If lamp source 1 is not active, lamp source 2 will be used.
