63. ains are to be changed with snapshots There are a number of methods of doing this but as the following points illustrate there are several things to consider Note Analogue gains are included in the snapshot Input Routing Scope and digital trims are included in the Input Controller Scope It is intended that one console will not have analogue gains in any of its snapshots scopes This prevents it from sending any rack commands atall and therefore it cannot change analogue gains with snapshots A similar situation could be created by making the console Receive Only for rack control but this will also prevent manual analogue gain changes In either case the other console is then in complete control of snapshot gain changes When a session is loaded it starts in lsolate so if you go to Receive Only then Full Connect you can join the rack sharing without making any gain changes If you are responsible for the analogue gains it is likely that you will want to go straight to Full Connect after load session Subsequently both consoles can be in Full Connect at all times this way if either operator spots an over or under they can manually adjust the analogue gain on either console and if Gain Tracking is on for both consoles the balance will not be disturbed Note Problems may occur if both consoles are using snapshots and they have digital trim changes in their snapshots In this situation snapshots must be stored at the same time on both conso
64. ains with snapshots then only one console should control the gains The second console should have either a Input Routing Scope removed from all of its snapshots this assumes that there is no requirement to change input socket routing with snapshots OR b It should be in Receive Only for rack commands so that it cannot send its own analogue gain changes but can still have Input Routing Scope on and therefore change input socket routing with snapshots Gain tracking should be switched on for the second console so that unforeseen gain changes on the first will not affect its overall balance Gain tracking may also be switched on for the first console but this is not really necessary as the second console will not be controlling the analogue gains atall When the first console stores a snapshot that will change analogue gains the second console should then store its own snapshot that reflects the required digital trim settings to compensate for that change These snapshots should then be fired at the same time approxi mately during the show Note The most important aspect of this procedure is the coordination of snapshots between the two consoles It is not advisable for the two operators to store snapshots independently of each other they must both store snapshots at the same time 6 6 DIGICO Chapter 6 6 2 Redundancy and Mirroring 6 2 1 Redundant Optical Loop 2u22002n00 n0nnn0nnnun nun nun ann If an additi
