As with several similar pop-ups, the timecode calculator can be cleared, with or
without effecting changes, by pressing the front panel OK or QUIT buttons. The
Left/Right cursor keys (just above QUIT and OK on the computer front panel) will
decrement/increment the current timecode frames value; the Up/Down keys adjust
the current seconds value. Note that the numeric and cursor keys have an auto-repeat
function – do not hold them down for two long unless you mean to!
Channel Selector Pop-up
This pop-up (see opposite) is called up every time a number of channels need to be
chosen for a specific function. Channels can be individually selected by stabbing on
the channel number, or by pressing the fader status button on that channel’s Large
Fader, to toggle the channel’s entry to a
Y (Yes). Holding one fader status button down
while pressing another selects those channels, and all channels in between, to the
required mode. Selections can be made left to right or right to left. The same function
can, of course be used to deselect a range of channels from the currently selected
mode.
Other options on the Channel Selector pop-up itself include stabbing on the channel
numbers to toggle blocks of 8 on or off,
Set All which selects all channels, Flip All
which toggles the channel states on or off, and Clear All which clears down any
current selections. Having selected the relevant channels, OK out of the pop-up.
Status Messages
Between the menus and the main display area on all the computer’s screens you will
notice a long grey bar (see opposite). This is known as the ‘status’ bar and provides a
series of useful progress messages as the computer carries out various tasks such as
loading or saving project data. If a warning or error message is necessary, the bar will
turn red.
Stabbing on the bar will produce a scrolling ‘history’ list of status, prompt, warning
and error messages created since the system was last booted up (up to 100 lines of the
most recent messages). You may also need to select this pop-up in order to read
messages that are too long to fit in the status bar. Access to the on-screen diagnostic
Terminal display is provided here. Stab outside the pop-up to clear it.
Scrolling Screens
Selection of some menu items, for example MIX-DESK / Faders may require you to
scroll the screen to reveal additional information. Because of this, the facility is
provided to stab on any non-active (ie. black) area of the screen, and drag the display
to move it to the required position.
