Initial Snapshot
The Initial Snapshot (ISS or Initial SS) is at the beginning of the Event List. It contains
the settings of all controls that can be automated when a New Mix/Pass Tree is
created.
The ISS settings are saved in special Automation Events which all have a Timecode
of zero. Only ISS events can have a Timecode of zero. ISS events can not be edited
with the Event List functions in Encore Plus.
The ISS is updated when a control is taken out of Isolate for the first time. The ISS
takes the control setting either when the system goes into Play (for controls that are
taken out of Isolate before Play) or when a control is taken out of Isolate if the system
is already in Play.
Updating the ISS creates a Record Pass. The new settings are not saved unless the
Record Pass is saved.
The primary function of the ISS is to provide an initial setting for every control. This is
so that the control has a value to return to, such as when using Glide or when the
system comes out of Play.
Automation Events
A dynamic automation event is a record of a change made to a control.
Each event records:
The path it occurred on
The control that was changed
The timecode (resolved at frame level)
The value of the setting
For instance, if a fader is moved continuously then a change in level will be recorded
against every frame of timecode until the fader is released. This can be seen in the
Event List as a series of individual events at each frame.
Safety Snapshot
A Safety Snapshot is taken when Play is pressed to start timecode running. It is a
Snapshot of the whole console (i.e. it is not affected by either Automation Scope or
Snapshot Scope). Otherwise, it is the same as a standard Snapshot.
The Safety Snapshot is not affected by and does not affect the automation system
but it is stored with a Mix/Pass when a Record Pass is kept.
A Safety Snapshot is only used when loading a Mix/Pass revision from the Mix/Pass
Tree. It can optionally be loaded or ignored at this point.
