CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 151Assigning autofaders to fadersOnce the relevant GPIs have been assigned to autofaders, the autofaders can be assigned to control faders on thesurface. This is done on the Access>AutoFader screen as shown in Figure 3.FIGURE 3 - ASSIGNING AUTOFADERS TO FADERSAutofader levelsWhen an autofader is attached to a fader and is enabled, providing the trigger signal is not present, the fader will goto the OUT LEVEL complying with the Fade-Out Duration parameter, rather than snapping the audio to the Fade-Outlevel. If an AutoFader is enabled, either from path or global enable, for a path whose GPI is currently triggered, the audioshould fade (up or down) to the Fade-In Level (if it is not there already), complying with the Fade-In Duration parameter,rather than snapping the audio to the Fade-In level. When the trigger signal is present, the fader will follow the settingsmade on the Access>AutoFader screen.Autofader parameter settingsThe AUTOFADER screen allows the settings of the autofaders to be configured. The available settings for all the Timebased controls are :• 0 to 100ms in 10ms steps.• 100ms to 1s in 100ms steps.• 1s to 5s in 500ms steps.The IN and OUT gain level settings are -100dB to +10dB.Global Autofader BypassAt the bottom of the AutoFader screen there is a copy of the Global Bypass button which effectively disables allAutofaders.Autofader indicatorsWhen an autofader is assigned to a fader, the Fader display will show the AutoFader Number and the Meter displayshows when the AutoFader is active.
