Digital Broadcast Production Console
high quality tFt screen based meters
can be incorporated into the console
upstand either instead of or alongside
moving coil or leD bargraph style
meters. the user can dynamically
change the layout of the tFt meters
and their arrangement.
The screen layout is configured such that
each half of the screen can have 4 or 6
columns, allowing 8 or 12 meter positions
across its width. Each column can then
be split into up to three rows which can
be 1/3, 1/2, 2/3 or full height of the TFT
meter panel.
This allows a greater density of meter
functions to be displayed, as each TFT
meter can display up to 36 meters within
the space usually taken up by just two
standard meter panels.
The following functions can be metered:
Main Outputs •
Group Outputs •
Auxiliary Outputs •
Track Outputs •
Meter Selectors •
External Inputs •
Miscellaneous functions •
Each meter can be:
Mono •
Stereo •
M/S (Sum and Difference of the •
stereo signal)
Surround (L, R, C, LFE, LS, RS
•
- sequence set as part of meter
arrangement)
Phase Display
•
When a screen is configured with 8
columns, these columns will line up with
any faders positioned in that section of
the console.

The number of meters configurable on the
TFT screens is governed by the number
of meter data signals available. There
are 58 meter data signals available. If an
audio signal is metered on a TFT meter
and a standard meter at the same time, it
will use up two signals in the meter data
stream.
There can be up to 3 phase meters in the
configuration.
If a meter is set up to display an Aux or
a Track and the channel is cut, a small ‘x’
indication will appear below the bargraph.
