To change any of these, simply touch the relevant part of the screen, which will
bring up either the QWERTY keyboard, list of supported machines, or numerical
keypad respectively.
Other information displayed on this page includes the percentage amount of free
hard disk space available, the software version number being run, and the number
of channels in the console.
Return to the Studio page by pressing ’OK’ on the screen.
You may also visit the Studio Utilities page. A description of these utilities is given
in the Automation Pages section of this manual.
Descending the Directory system
We can now work back down the directory system, looking in more detail at the
other facilities available at each level. Select a User, as described earlier.
The User Page
The User page displays a list of the Projects available for the currently selected User,
and as with the Studio page, with a new console from the factory there will be only
one ’default’ project, ’Project 0001’. You can create as many Projects as necessary,
using the New Project touch-pad on the screen, and name them using the Edit User
touch-pad.
There is a User Configuration page and a User Utilities page which are accessible
via touch-pads.
A Project is selected in the same way as for the User, and selecting a Project takes
you down to the next level down on the Directory system, which is the Project page.
The Project page
The Project page displays a list of all the Titles available in the currently-selected
Project, and with a new console from the factory there will be only one ’default’
Title, ’Title0001’.
You can create as many Titles as necessary, using the New Title touch-pad on the
screen, and name them using the Edit Title touch-pad.
A Title is selected in the same way as for the previous pages, and selecting a Title
takes you down to the next level down on the Directory system, which is the Mix
page.
The Mix Page
We have now returned to the page which is always displayed immediately after
power-up. The console remembers which directory you were working in when the
power is turned off, and returns to the same place on power-up.
The Mix page has a slightly different format to the Studio, User and Project pages.
It displays the ’Cue List’ for the currently selected Title, as well as touch-pads to
access other automation functions, the most important being the list of ’Mix Passes’
associated with the Title. This is accessed by pressing the Mix List touch-pad on
the screen. (With a new console from the factory, the list will be empty and will say
’No Mixes’)
The Mix List is very useful, as it allows you to keep track of the number of Mixes
you have saved for the current Title, the size of the data file for each mix, the date
and time the mix was saved as well as allowing you to select any previous mix and
