TFT Level Meters
The upper part of the meter screen shows level meter bargraphs. They indicate
digital peak values including headroom of mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1 and N–1
channels. For stereo channels a correlation indicator is provided. Above the
level bargraph area gain reduction meters are added. Clipping is displayed
by turning the white bargraph section (i.e. the level above the headroom
threshold) over to red. The meter tap point can be selected from input, post
fader and direct output level of the corresponding channel.
The lower meter screen area can be switched to either level history indication
(its speed is set in the meter options menu), to a simplified 2-D surround level
image, to bus assign view, or to layer L2 level indication.
Note It is possible to use the red overload indicator above the meters to indicate a
level just entering the configured headroom, rather than clipping. This is set
in the GC's 'Meter/Generator' window.
For further details of the TFT level meters refer to chapter 2.5.
'Dedicated' Rotary Controls:
One of six available functions may be put onto this rotary control. This func-
tion is selected by pressing one of the six ASSIGN keys. When ASSIGN: INPUT
GAIN is selected and a Studer microphone preamplifier is connected, the
analog gain will be controlled before the analog/digital converters. Otherwise
the rotary control will adjust digital input gain. In any case, further control
is available on the Vistonics™ module. The control of a Studer microphone
preamplifier is indicated by a small red MIC LED at the bottom of the rotary
control.
 ASSIGN: INPUT GAIN – PAN – AUX1 – AUX2 – AUX1 S – AUX2 S
Function selection for the 'dedicated' rotary control:
• Input Gain (standard digital gain, or analog gain if a Studer microphone
preamplifier is connected)
• Left/Right Pan
• AUX mono 1 and 2 level
• AUX stereo 1 and 2 level
Normally, the function changes throughout the whole console. If the bay is
locked, only the assignment in the corresponding bay changes.
