7.8 Mute Group Screen

The mute group screen allows for quick assignment and control of the console's
6 mute groups, and o ers two separate functions:
1. It mutes the active screen during the process of assigning channels to mute
groups. This ensures that no channels are accidentally muted during the
assignment process during a live performance.
2. It o ers an additional interface for muting/unmuting the mute groups in
addition to the dedicated mute group buttons at the bottom of the console.
When activated, the mute screen only covers the bottom portion of the
main display, allowing the middle portion to continue displaying its usual
screen content.
To assign channels to one of the 6 mute groups, perform the following steps:
1. Press the Mute Group button to switch the main display to the mute
groups view.
2. Press and hold the desired mute group button (1-6) on the lower right hand
corner of the console.
3. While holding the mute group button, press the select keys of any input or
output channel, on any layer, that you wish to assign to the mute group.
4. When you have assigned all the desired channels to the mute group,
release the dedicated mute group button. The individual channel mute
buttons will resume their normal function.
To use the mute groups screen to mute/unmute the groups, perform the
following steps:
1. Tap any of the six encoders to mute the corresponding group, and thus mute
all channels that are assigned to that mute group.
2. Tap the encoder of a currently muted group to "un-mute" the mute group.
3. When nished working with mute groups, tap the Mute Group screen button
to exit the mute groups screen. The entire screen will again display its full set
of controls for whatever page it was previously on.

7.9 Utility Screen

The utility screen is a supplemental screen designed to work in conjunction
with the other screens that may be in view at any particular moment. The utility
screen is never seen by itself, it always exists in the context of another screen.
To reinforce this point, when the utility screen button is pressed, it illuminates at
the same time that another screen button is also illuminated, showing you which
screen it is providing extra utilities for. For most screens, pressing the utility
button simply acts as a shortcut to a page that can be navigated to by other
means. In a few cases, a utility page provides extra utility functions not seen
anywhere else.
The utility button works in the following manner with the other screens on
the console:
Channel Preamp Screens: Takes the user directly to the channel tab of the
library screen.
USB Screen: Takes the user directly to the "select folder" tab of the USB screen.
Monitor/Talkback Screens: There are no utility functions for any of the
di erent pages of the monitor screen.
Scenes Page: Provides an interface for copying, pasting, loading, and saving
di erent scenes in the scene list. Adjust and tap the six rotary encoders to
perform these functions.
Custom Screen: There are no utility functions for any of the di erent pages of
the custom screen.
Meters Screen: There are no utility functions for any of the di erent pages of
the meters screen.
Routing Screen: Takes the user directly to the routing tab of the library screen.
Setup Screen: There are no utility functions for any of the di erent pages of the
setup screen.
Library Screen: There are no utility functions for any of the di erent pages of
the library screen.
E ects Screen: Takes the user directly to the e ects tab of the library screen.
