Console Displays
Emphasis Facepanels provide a number of displays that allow you to view your show data
and system settings. These displays are described in this section. Their functionality will be
described in detail within the chapters of this manual.
Display Features
In general, the displays are divided between Command and Playback displays. On the
Express facepanels, all displays appear on a single monitor. On Expression/Insight
facepanels, CRT#1 is the Command display and CRT#2 is the Playback display. You can
swap displays from CRT#1 to CRT#2 and back again using the [Swap] key. You can also
have channel displays (Stage, Blind and Fader) span both monitors by pressing the
[Expand] key.

selection state and move information about channel levels.
