PAGES & NAVIGATION
The
D-Mon Control Panel
supports six pages – use the icons at the bottom of the GUI to change page:
If you hover the cursor over an icon, then the page name is displayed (e.g.
CONTROLLER
).
The six pages are:
•
CONTROLLER
– this is the main operational page (shown above). From here you can perform everyday tasks such as select
a monitor source; switch between speaker sets; talk to a destination, and adjust speaker and headphone volume.
•
SESSION ROUTING
– controls the routing matrix. Here you can see the results of any automated switching, and make
manual assignments for the session such as routing a mix bus to its output destination.
•
MONITORING MIXER
– controls the summing of the session’s sources onto mix buses.
•
SESSION SETTINGS
– defines parameters which apply to the session such as the sources, mix buses and outputs.
•
STUDIO SETUP
– defines parameters which apply to the studio such as the speaker sets, audio clock signal, etc.
•
CONFIGURATION PRESETS
– opens a pop-up menu where you can recall either a snapshot (to reset session parameters) or
a preset (to reset the complete unit). The
MANAGE
button opens a full-size page with further file management options.
The processor’s model number can also be selected – in our example,
D12
. This opens the
Processor Control
GUI in a new
browser window. It is used for setup functions such as the speaker/room calibration and is described later in this manual
(see
6.4.1: Working with the DMCP & OPCP
).

CONVENTIONS
In general, a color (usually green) indicates when something is enabled. So, in our example above, the
CONTROLLER
page is
selected; the source named
Main
(on the left) is assigned to
Spk A
(on the right); the speaker listening level is open (indicated by
the central rotary slider); the HEADPHONES are turned
ON
and the headphone level is open (indicated by the horizontal slider).
