An LCD touch-screen panel (illustrated above) with a menu of options and a variety of parameters used

simply highlight both channels at the bottom of the LCD display at the same time, by touching
them.
1. TIME CODE DISPLAY
Displays the assigned Time Code for the frame in use.
2. MODE INDICATOR
The current transport mode will be displayed directly above the Time Code in the center of the touch screen, such
as: RECORD, PASS-THRU, PLAY, REV 1/3, FWD 2x, STOP, etc.
3. DISK CAPACITY INDICATOR
This icon is located on the far right of the touch screen and displays the percentage of disk space in use.
4. FIRMWARE ICON?
Appears as a question mark in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Pressing this icon will reveal which
version of the firmware is currently installed. NOTE: That the front panel and each of the video channels have
their own separate firmware specific to their particular functions.
5. MENU ICON
The menu icon appears as a tiny rectangle at the top of the screen of a single channel deck. This is where you
will find most of the main functions for the DigiDeck. These functions allow the operator access to deck’s menu
structure and system settings and are explained in detail on the following pages. To access the main menu on a
dual deck, touch the compression ratio of the desired channel.
6. GO TO ICON
Select the “GO TO” function to mark one frame of video to jump back to immediately upon request. You can store
only one selection at a time.
7. “S” OR “P” Indicates weather deck is currently in a Source list (S) or a Play list (P)
A letter ‘S’ in the bottom right corner of the touch screen indicates that you are playing back material from the
source list. A ‘P’ indicates that you are working out of a play list.
