operational use.

header to view, create or load Shows
from the “Shows List”

Settings, tap the “Active Show” button
in the header to return to the main

as the primary sync source (#1). If a
backup sync source is also connected,
select that as source #2.
• Go to System-Settings>General to
configure audio running levels and meter
scales.

Active Show View
This is the main area of the UI and contains
all the operational functionality. A menu
down the left hand side gives access to
commonly used controls and operations.
The
Access
view
, selected from the top
of the left hand menu provides the core
operational functionality relating to the
current audio path. Pressing the Access
button on a fader strip makes that strip the
focus of the Access screen view.
Whilst in the Active Show area, the Footer
bar is always present, giving indication
of, and quick access to key operational
functionality such as monitoring, so you
can always quickly check, and if needed
pop-open a menu to make changes without
navigating away from the current control
screen.
Whenever there are variable controls on
screen, they are aligned directly above 1 of
8 hardware rotary controls located below.
These controls are geared to allow fast
and precise adjustment of the parameters
displayed on the screen above.
Passing Audio
When an empty fader is selected, the
Access view provides options for selecting
audio paths to assign to that fader. The
Fader Layout view displays an overview
of all the faders for both A and B layers.
Single or multiple faders can be selected,
allowing paths to be assigned, labelled,
moved and removed.
Buses are allocated in DSP from the Buses
and Outputs screen view. This screen also
provides control over the buses without
having to assign them to faders.
Audio paths’ inputs and outputs can be
connected to physical I/O ports from
the I/O Patching view. Path outputs are
available in the left hand sources table,
path inputs in the right hand destinations
table. I/O types are filtered by buttons
above. Press the I/O boxes buttons to
view the physical I/O. Select sources and
destinations within the tables and press
Connect to patch selected sources to
selected destinations.
Tabs across the top of the Access view
provide audio processing for the currently
accessed path, tabs down the side provide
routing to buses.
Buttons in the UI footer display and provide
access to monitor settings.
Saving Settings
The Memories view allows operational
settings to be saved and recalled. Many
user memories can be stored within each
show. On boot up, the system will start up
exactly where you left it, even if you had not
made a recent save to your current memory.
Unsaved changes are only lost when you
load a different user memory.
Shows and memories can be backed up
to USB from the Shows List screen view,
allowing them to be transferred between
Brio consoles, or to be restored in the event
they have been accidentally deleted or
altered.
Strip User Controls
Select functions for the strip rotary
controls, S1 and S2 user buttons from the
left hand button in the UI footer.
