Channel Types
Eclipse has 48 Fader Strips plus 48 Smart Panel controllers
(available in 4 layers: A, B, C and D).
Each may control any of the following channel types allowing
you to lay out your source channels, bus masters and VCAs
where you want them:
• Input channel – direct control of one of your 104 input
channels.
• Output channel – direct control of an Aux, Group,
Master or Matrix mix bus output (up to 48 mix busses).
• VCA – master control of level and mute for several input
and/or output channels.
• Smart Fader (SFAD) – “layered” control of several input
channels from a single fader. See the next page.
• Monitoring Level – control of monitor output level. You
can use this option to control monitor level from a fader
rather than the TB/MONITORING panel.
• Crossfade Time – control of the transition time between
Pages when using automation.
This flexibility allows you to customise the console surface for
each show and for different applications.
The configuration of Fader Strips and Smart Panel Controllers
is handled by Nova’s Personal Console Builder, see Page
221 for details.
