5.7.3 Trim
Trim is the update mode of the system. Controls in Trim Enable are armed
for recording offsets and allows Trims to be Auditioned. Those in Record
will apply the offset to previously written mix data and the resultant values
will be written to a new Mix Pass.
Faders vs. Other Objects Trim is handled slightly different for faders than for other automation objects.
In both cases, Trim offsets are applied to the Read Mix Data for the Active
Pass, and a new Mix Pass is generated. The Read Mix data in the new pass
contain the values of the previous Active Pass plus the Trim offset. In addi-
tion, for faders, the Trim offset values are stored separately as Trim Replay
Data.
Trim Replay Data For faders not only is the Trim offset applied to Read Mix data to generate
a new Mix Pass, but the offset is stored within the new pass as Trim Replay
Data. Trim Replay Data are absolute values that are used to offset fader Read
Mix values. Since the Trim Replay Data is separate from the Read Mix Data,
it may be manipulated as an independent entity. This means that Trim Replay
Data can be rewritten, modified, disabled from replay, and cleared.
Note Since the trimmed fader values are merged with the Read Mix data in the new
Mix Pass, the new pass has integrity even if the Trim Replay Data is disabled
or cleared.
Null Indications When a control is being trimmed, a Null indication is provided. In basic terms,
the null indication provides information regarding of the Trim offset value.
However, null indications are handled differently for faders than for other
controls.
