External AES50 synchronisation

If you want to connect AES50 audio between two Midas digital consoles the slave
console must be set to external AES50 synchronisation, irrespective of the
synchronisation source of the master console.

A valid connection can be a tie line between the stage routers or the secondary port
(Bx/By) of a mic splitter that has its primary port (Ax/Ay) connected to the master
console.

Security (locking mode)

If you need to leave the PRO6 unattended, but you want to preserve its current state of
operation, you can lock it via the GUI menu. This will prevent unauthorised adjustment
of its settings. When locked the GUI displays the 'splash' screens (shown during the
start up sequence) and none of the controls on the control surface will function; the
PRO6 Control Centre will be totally locked out.
The PRO6 Control Centre is unlocked by clicking the UNLOCK button, which is in the
lower-left corner of both GUI screens. For security, this button has been designed to
blend in with the background so as to be almost indistinguishable. When unlocked, the
PRO6 Control Centre will revert back to the state it was in the last time it was locked.
