F Universal Fader Wings 355
Using the Faders
Playbacks, submasters, and grandmasters will all appear on the fader wings as configured in setup.
Any unmapped faders or playbacks with no contents will appear with no information in the fader
wing LCD.
When the page is changed, any submaster LEDs will illuminate in the color of the new submaster
loaded on the page (green for additive and red for inhibitive). Fader wing submasters are not
motorized, therefore when you change pages you may have to manually reset the fader to the
proper location to reflect its current output level. If a submaster setting must be matched to gain
control, the LED will flash quickly in the appropriate color. The LED will stop flashing and illuminate
normally once the fader has been moved to the required location.
Otherwise, LED illumination states follow the conventions of the main face panel when submasters
are using fade and hold/dwell times. You may use the fader wing submasters in the same way as
you would use those on the console.
Using the Buttons
Each fader is equipped with two buttons beneath the potentiometer. When used with submasters,
the bottom button is the bump key. The top button can be used in two ways. When pressed in
conjunction with the bump button it will act as a “Load” button for that fader and can be used to load
submasters. When pressed individually, it will act as a group select button for all channels in that
submaster. Pressing it in this instance is the same as entering [Group] [Sub] [x] on the command
line.
For playbacks, the bottom button acts as a [Go] button and the top button acts as a [Stop/Back]
button, similar to the buttons beneath the master fader pair on Ion.
When pressed together, these buttons act as a [Load] button for that fader which can be used to
load faders or to use any of the fader controls such as {Release} or {Stop Effect}.
Loading Faders
Since all of these faders are also accessible within the Eos software, you may load faders using the
motorized faders as described in “Cue Playback” (see Assigning Faders, page 214).
You may also use the load functionality of the fader wings to load submasters or playbacks to
faders. This is accomplished by pressing both buttons located beneath the fader (equals [Load]).
Depending on how the fader is mapped in the Fader Configurator, you may have to release the
fader before you can load contents to it. For example, if you want to load a playlist into a fader that
is assigned as a submaster, you must release the submaster first. This is done by pressing and
holding [Release] and then pressing both fader buttons ([Load]).
