Control Surface Description
Introduction
A basic Zodiak system is equipped with a Main panel, a Menu panel, and
removable media drives. These separate control panel components make
up a Zodiak control surface. Interactions occur between the components of
the control surface. For example, changing controls on the Main panel can
change the status of soft buttons on the Menu panel, and vice versa. In this
section the basic functions of the different parts of a Zodiak control surface
will be discussed. Actual operational procedures and menu descriptions
and are included elsewhere in this manual.
Many aspects of the behavior of Zodiak controls can be affected by the
current system, suite, and user configuration settings. All the possible vari-
ations in operating behavior will not be covered in this section. As you
become familiar with how the Zodiak system operates, you will be able to
customize the system’s behavior to meet special requirements.
Remote Aux Bus panels are also available as an option. These panels are
configured as a separate control surface.

• Single press
