1.1.3 Destination categories and properties.
The destinations (or outputs) are also divided into two categories.
•
Standard outputs
•
Monitor outputs
A set of destination properties defines the way the destinations will
behave.
The properties include talkback possibilities, monitor options and
other features dedicated to each destination.
1.1.4 Talkback.
In general it is possible to talk to all outputs from anywhere. The block
diagram shows which combinations, which are allowed. When a
talkback is active a predefined microphone is connected to the output
for communication, and the ordinary audio is muted, dimmed or
redirected.
1.2 Seector Philosophy
1.2.1 Control access levels.
Some controls are more important than others. An availability
hierarchy is designed to give easy access to the most critical controls.
Three different access levels are available in the system concept.
•
Directly (Primary)
•
Assigned (Secondary)
•
Menu selection (Tertiary)
Primary functions have a direct control through one-finger operation.
Secondary functions are accessed on a central assign panel after
pressing the assign button for a channel.
Tertiary functions are accessed through screen menus.
All primary functions are also available on the secondary and tertiary
control levels. All secondary functions are available using the tertiary
control level.
All controls can be available on any level depending on the installed
panels. It is also possible to give different sections of the console
different panel layouts.
1.2.2 Assign concept
Any channel strip can have parts of the assignable functions installed
as dedicated control panels. Logically these panels work in parallel
with the assign panel.
When the dedicated control panels are installed the functions will be
handled on the primary level.
All fader strips have a large assign button. One and only one fader
strip has the assign button illuminated at a time. The assign panel is
displaying the settings for the assigned fader strip.
