About the Main Display
The LCD as Main Display
Chapters 1-28 describe the behavior of the LCD when it acts as the main display.
The VGA as Main Display
With a connected external VGA display, your mouse and keyboard become your main
tools and the VS-2400CD acts as a full-featured control surface. Its faders, knobs and
buttons provide a great way to physically interact with what's on the VGA display:

Of course, there's no single "correct" way to use all of the VS-2400CD's available tools—
odds are you'll intuitively develop the easiest, fastest way to work for your needs.
Areas of the VGA Main Display
When the VGA acts as the main display, it's comprised of several different areas,
described in detail in the following chapters.

Select channels and parameters on the VGA with your mouse, and change their
settings using the VS-2400CD's faders or knobs if you wish.
Use the VS-2400CD's transport buttons (Page 171) to operate the hard disk recorder
as you work on the VGA display.
Select audio or other data on the VGA using your mouse, and undo any edit using
the top panel's UNDO•REDO button or its onscreen counterparts.
Use the VS-2400CD's LCD as a secondary Info Display on which you can keep
important information in view as you work on the VGA.
On the VGA main display Home screen—shown here—the lower
pane contains the project playlist, described in Chapter 31.
