All screen keys turned off – STATUS With all the screen
keys and strip SEL keys turned off the TouchScreen displays the
Status page. This shows system status including firmware,
temperature, audio system lock and digital audio network status. A
red cross means a problem is detected. The page also displays the
time, current user and last Scene recalled name. The lower part of
the screen can be used to select one of the four custom user meter
views or the RTA display.
All screen keys turned off – Strip SEL selected If you
press a strip SEL key while the screen keys are turned off then the
TouchScreen displays the processing view for that channel. This can
provide additional graphical information for the parameters shown on
the controls to the left of the screen, for example an EQ or dynamics
curve. Some channel and mix parameters are only available via the
screen, for example delay, insert assignment, name and colour.
Screen key selected:
METERS Select from several pages of audio meters showing
input channels, effects and mix masters. Includes 4x user custom
meter views. You can name each view and configure any
combination of up to 16 meters and spaces per view. The screen
also lets you view the RTA display. The custom views and RTA can
also be selected from the default Status page.
PAFL Set user preferences for the PAFL engineer’s monitoring
system. Choose between additive and auto-cancelling operating
mode, adjust the AFL trim to avoid big level differences between PFL
and AFL, set main mix to monitor level when no PAFL is selected, and
choose to link the SEL and/or MIX keys with PAFL key presses. You
can turn on and select the External Input to PAFL source for reverse
talkback, and set delay to time align the monitor to the acoustic
sound from the stage.
ROUTING This screen displays the routing and DCA
assignments, direct out trim, send levels and preferences for the
channel currently selected using the SEL key. For the Aux masters it
lets you select the channel send source and choose to have the
sends on faders or rotaries. The screen can provide an alternative to
adjusting the mix sends and assignments on the fader strips using the
MIX keys.
OUTPUTS Map signals to the physical sockets and audio network
channels. Touch tabs let you select the MixRack, Surface, Port A and
B patch bays. Assign single or a range of sockets from a choice of
mixes, direct outs, insert sends and other sources.
