Parking at a focus point

You can park channels at a focus point as well as park focus point channels themselves. See Parking recorded channels for information about parking focus point channels.

When you park channels at a focus point, they are linked to the focus point and take whatever levels are set for the channels in the focus point. If those levels in the focus point change, the link causes the same change to occur for the parked channels. Channels parked at a focus point are shown in the Park display with both the channel’s current level in the focus point and the focus point number.

Park channels at a focus point using the following procedure.

Keystrokes: Action:
1. Press [Stage]. Selects Stage display
2. Press [S6], Park. Prompt reads:
Select channel number(s), then press ENTER to park, press AT to select level, or press RELEASE to unpark
3. Press [Chan] [1] [Thru] [1][0] [Focus Point] [6]. Prompt reads:
