Conferencing
When configuring the n-x busses, it is possible to define a subset of n-x owner channels to
be member of a conference. Whenever their fader is closed, they will hear all other
members (without hearing themselves back) automatically, rather than the normal n-x
signal. As soon as the fader is taken out of the -∞ position, they will instantly hear the n-x
signal again.
Setting up the conference
By hitting the F6 key on the control bay, the console is put into n-x setup mode. The
LINK/SEL key of all possible conference member channels (all n-x owner channels) are half
lit and the user may select any number of them to be members of the conference. If the
user wishes to adapt this setting frequently, he may even stay in this mode during a live
production, since the channels are instantly added or removed from the conference when
pressing its LINK/SEL button. (However, other features like ganging would not be available
while in setup mode.)
The conference icon in the toolbar (
) has three states:
Grayed out: No conference active nor defined
Coloured: Conference active (if member faders closed)
Coloured, crossed out: Conference defined, but temporarily deactivated (even if member
faders closed)
Note: In certain circumstances it is possible to select also a aux master as a conference
member (indicated by its half lit LINK/SEL key). This is to add e.g. an on air signal to the
conference. See details below.
Talk to the conference
When pressing the TALK button on a channel which is currently conferencing, the talk
function is automatically activated on all members of the conference at the same time.
