INPUT DCA/GROUP function
Here you can specify the input channels that will be
assigned to DCA groups 1–8. The level of input channels
belonging to the same DCA group can be adjusted as a
whole using DCA faders 1–8.
A DCA group
This is the number of the DCA group. The number
corresponding to the grid where the cursor is located is
highlighted.
B Name
This is the name of the DCA group. You can also click
this area to edit the name.
C Grid
This grid lets you assign input channels (horizontal
rows) to DCA groups (vertical columns). Currently-
patched grids are indicated by a symbol. Move the
cursor to the desired grid and press the [ENTER] key
(or click) to set/disable the assignment.
Hint
You can also assign a single input channel to multiple DCA
groups for multiple DCA control.
Hint
DCA groups 1–6 are for input channels only, but DCA groups
7/8 can be used with both input channels and output chan-
nels. Both types of channel can exist in an identically-
numbered group.
D SET BY CUE (Assign by [CUE] key)
This specifies whether the [CUE] key will be used to
make/cancel DCA group assignments. While the DCA
group SET BY CUE button is on, pressing the [CUE]
key of an input channel that can be assigned to the cor-
responding group will assign the channel to the group.
(Press the [CUE] key once again to cancel the
assignment.)
Hint
The SET BY CUE button can be turned on for only one DCA
group. This is automatically turned off when you change
screens or turn off the power.
E CLEAR
This button clears all input channels assigned to that
DCA group.
F MUTE
These buttons switch muting on/off for DCA groups
1–8. They are linked with DCA [MUTE] keys 1–8 in
the DCA strip of the panel.
G DCA faders
These faders adjust the levels of DCA groups 1–8. They
are linked with DCA faders 1–8 in the DCA strip.
H CUE
These buttons cue-monitor DCA groups 1–8. They are
linked with DCA [CUE] keys 1–8 in the DCA strip of
the panel.
I DCA LEVEL SET
Use the following two buttons to operate DCA groups
1–8 together.
• ALL NOMINAL
Clicking this button will move DCA faders 1–8 to
nominal level (0 dB).
• ALL MINIMUM
Clicking this button will move DCA faders 1–8 to the
–∞ dB position.
