CDC seven
1. PWR button – this is a multi-function “soft” button for starting and closing
down the console surface. See page 34 for more details.
2. Power rail indicators – six EXT PSU LEDs confirm the status of the
incoming DC supplies from the external PSU’s six further INT PSU LEDs
confirm the status of each internally-derived supply rail.
3. TALKBACK ENABLE – press to activate the console comms system.
The CDC seven has a very flexible talkback system, which is configured
through setup options on the Control Screen. Any of the local (rear panel)
I/O may be assigned as a Talkback output or a Return Talkback input.
4. Control Screen – a 6.5” LCD touchscreen. By default the screen shows
the Cue List, but it can also display the console configuration options,
Show file management and provides access to numerous other user
features.
5. MUTE ALL – pressing this button will apply a ‘hard’ mute to all physical
outputs from the console. The button is not illuminated during the console’s
normal operation, and flashes red when active. Note that MUTE ALL is
automatically active when the surface powers up, and must be released
by pressing the button.
6. USB port – a type ‘A’ USB socket; this has the same functionality as the
two ports below the armrest; see [16] at page 18.
7. MENU button – when navigating the system menus, use this button to
return the Control Screen display to the home page. The MENU button is
disabled when the Cue List is in use.
8. BACK button – used in the menu system; navigates back one “level”.
Illuminates red when available.
9. CUE LIST button – pressing this displays the currently loaded Cue List
on the Control Screen.

are used in Cue List operations.

12. UPDATE – updates the currently-selected Cue (in the Cue List).
13. MUTE – opens the channel assignment displays for the CDC seven’s
Mute Groups in the Main Screen. This is a toggle function, and a second
press reverts to the previously display.
14. SOLO CLEAR – used to clear SOLO selections from multiple channels
15. USER ASSIGN 1 to 8 – these multi-function buttons are by default
the masters for the CDC seven’s Mute Groups. Other functions are:
global delay for the effects section, fast access to FX, VCA and Waves
Soundgrid® windows, talkback functions and User layers. The current
functions are displayed in the adjacent OLED displays, and are set up in
User Options section of the Control Screen.
16. LCR master fader – a 100 mm fader controlling the main stereo or LCR
output. This is a VCA master fader controlling all three master output
channels; the levels of the individual L, C and R legs may be controlled
by the MixLeft, MixCentre and MixRight faders of the master channels
which are accessed by swiping the display to below Output Channel 1 or
above Input Channel 64. This fader is not motorised.
