Fader Bay Meters

 

  The default assignment of the TFT meters to the fader channel strips is 1:1. 

This may be modified by the system administrator only; if not logged in as 

system administrator, the ‘Fader Bay Meters’ tab is not displayed, and meter 

assignment is is restricted to the control bay. 

 

  Assignment is done in the strip setup window. First, click the ‘Fader Bay 

Meters’ tab. The window changes to the view shown below. Entering channels 

is done with the same mechanism as is used for the assignment of channels 

to bays.

 

  Changes in the channel assignment may be easily reset to the default setting 

by selecting ‘Reset to StripAssignment’.

 

Lower Meter Area

  The default settings of the lower meter area are labeled ‘DEF’. These are the 

history view for mono and stereo channels, and the surround view for 5.1 

channels. 

 

  When right-clicking into the lower meter area, the display mode of the lower 

part of the meter can be selected (‘HIST’ for the history display, ‘BUS’ for 

bus assignment view, ‘SRND’ for surround view, and ‘L2’ for layer 2 view). 

Options not available for a particular channel type will be grayed-out.

 

  Changes made here may also be reset to the default setting by selecting ‘Reset 

to StripAssignment’ after a right-click in the upper meter area.

  

Control Bay Meters

 

  Click on the ‘Control Bay Meters’ tab. The window changes to the view shown 

below. Entering channels is done with the same mechanism as is used for the 

assignment of channels to bays. 

 

  After selecting one of the ‘USER’ fields, the view corresponding to the user 

keys can be defined. 

 

  Please note that the two meters at the far right of the control bay are 

always 

used for PFL and CR monitoring and cannot be assigned to a channel.
