Surround channels come per default with a surround image view in the lower
area, offering a spatial visualization of the surround signal. It allows spotting
anomalities in a surround signal much faster than any other method.
Alternatively, a bus assign view can be selected on any channel, giving a nice
overview of the bus routing right below the bargraph meters. This may not be
sensible for every channel but is useful for the ones where the bus assignment
is changed frequently.
Control Bay
The control bay TFT metering is of multiple use. The
VIEW
keys
together with
the
ñ
(shift) key
allow switching between different views. All
VIEW
keys are
of the momentary/latching type.
The
FOLLOW
key displays the metering that belongs to the channel assigned
to the desk surface.
Then, there are view keys for all different type of master channels: Aux,
Groups, program Masters, Matrix, etc., as well as output meter views of
multitrack and n-1/x busses.
Moreover, there are four user keys that allow displaying any choice of chan-
nels of the mixing console on the four user pages. For assignment there is a
page on the GC’s Strip Setup window that lets assign up to 10 channels on
the
USER 1
page, up to 20 channels in two rows on the
USER 2
page, and
a maximum of 40 half-width channels in two rows on both the
USER 3
and
USER 4
pages.
The two meter slots at the right of the control bay TFT screen, however, con-
tinuously show PFL and CR levels.
