To access the INPUT section:

1. Push the encoder to open the menu

2. Rotate the encoder to highlight the "INPUT" section

3. Push the encoder to open the "INPUT" section.

2.3.2. Tabs

The 

STATE

INPUT

 and 

OUTPUT

 sections are further divided into 

tabs

,

which are shown when the section is opened. Upon opening one of these
sections, a cursor is shown to navigate between tabs and settings.

To leave a tab or the section, use the return key 

.

Tabs can generate a 

warning

 whenever a configured signal path cannot be established. This is then

indicated on the main screen as a red highlight of the corresponding section and in the main menu.
Warnings occur for example when a clock reference signal does not match the internal sample rate. They
also cause the standby LED to flash in white and red.

Tabs in the main menu can also show a 'caution notification', for example if loaded preset was not
saved. To see these notifications, open the main menu by pushing the encoder.

2.4. Status Indicator Color Chart

Notifications on this device have been optimized for different screen sizes. They are unified across the
device display and the web remote and include a color bar that indicates the current state at a glance.

The following table shows the possible status indicator colors for reference.
