Displays and Indicators
Alphanumeric and Graphics Display—Display details: The display is a 140x16 Graphics
display. Normally, it will be configured in a 2x20 character format. All menus are
designed to fit into this format.
Operational note: The display power consumption is directly related to the number
of pixels that are turned on and the intensity. Therefore, the default brightness is
an intensity value of 6 (on a scale of 1-8) and users will be able to diminish this
value as they see fit in order to conserve as much as 22% power consumption for
the VFD. The intensity setting of the VFD also correlates to the backlit buttons on
the unit (play, select up, select down, etc.)
During a period of 3 minutes of inactivity, the VFD will go to a screensaver mode
and the buttons backlights will turn off.
VU Meters—7-segment LEDs show audio input levels for the 2 audio channels
(respectively). Knobs underneath the VU meters allow you to adjust the input
levels independently to prevent clipping and ensure proper signal amplitude.
Green—audio source signal level is in the "safe" area (no clipping). Vertically, the
green LEDs also show the signal strength, so you can see if the signal level is low.
Generally, it's preferred to have the signal near the top of the green or even
occasionally peaking into the yellow LEDs.
Yellow—audio source signal levels are at the peak edge of the safe area before
clipping will occur.
Red—audio source amplitude is too hot and the signal is clipping at it's signal
peaks. You should reduce the input gain at its source (camera, mixer or source
equipment supplying the signal).
ExpressCard Slot LED Status Indicators—Each of the 3 media slots (S1, S2, D1) have an
associated LED status indicator. The following states for the LED indicator denote
the status of the media:
LED lit/on: selected media
LED unlit/off: inactive media, okay to eject or no media inserted
LED flashing: recording in progress
Disk Storage Module LED Status Indicator—The following states for the LED indicator
denote the status of the media:
LED lit/on: selected media
LED unlit/off: inactive media, okay to eject or no media inserted
LED flashing: recording in progress
