tudio Monitors
Brio has two dedicated monitor feeds for relaying signals back to the studio floor or anywhere you need a monitor feed
such as the picture gallery or for headphone feeds. Studio 1 monitor is 5.1 wide, whilst Studio 2 monitor is Stereo.
The level controls for these appear on the context based rotary controls together with the Dim, Cut and Talkback buttons
when either Studio Monitor Page is accessed.
Linking Paths
When paths are linked, adjustments to the parameters of one linked path are also made for all other linked paths.
Adjustments are made relatively across all paths, preserving any offsets. The
Link (Set/Clear)
button, as shown in
Figure 4, bottom left (next to the Fader Layer buttons) provides a quick way to set/clear all path linking on the surface.
See
“CONTROL LINKING” on page 140 for more information.
Surface Layers
The Brio surface has two layers, allowing fader-control of twice as many paths as there are faders on the surface, i.e.
72 fader paths. You can switch between layers using the Fader Layer selection buttons A & B on the surface. When
selecting a layer, all fader positions, button states and control cell states change immediately to reflect faders on the
newly selected layer. It is important to note that paths on the layer that is not visible are still active and will pass audio if
left faded up.
Surface Reset
The surface reset button is recessed to avoid it being pressed accidentally. If a reset is required a pen or similarly pointed
implement should be used to push it.
USB Ports
Brio’s USB ports can be used to connect a QWERTY keyboard or a mouse, or a keyboard/mouse combo to the system
and for data backup and restore to USB memory.
Global User Buttons
Brio’s 12 Global User Buttons can be configured to perform a whole range of functions which are described in the
”GLOBAL USER BUTTONS” on page 64 section of this manual.
