PRO6 control surface
The control surface of the PRO6 Control Centre is divided into areas (see Figure 2)
whose function is, largely, dependent on bay location. Each bay has assorted control
elements with local feedback and/or support from the two centrally located GUI display
screens. The screens can be remoted via external VGA connections, and third party
systems can also be viewed/controlled via an integrated KVM switch on the rear panel.

navigation and selection. For details, see
