What does the OUTPUT CLEAR function do?

The OUTPUT CLEAR function is responsible for resetting the fader paths in a system. This operation effectively clears any adjustments made to the current output settings, returning them to their default state. By resetting the fader paths, users can ensure that they start fresh without any prior modifications affecting their current output setup. This function is particularly useful in scenarios where a user wants to eliminate any previous fader changes that might interfere with new adjustments or configurations.

The other options do not accurately describe the purpose of the OUTPUT CLEAR function; it specifically relates to fader paths rather than clearing all fader settings or removing inputs.
