The touch screen display is the main interface of the Deva. Most selections are made and displayed using it. You

These provide an alternative means of entering numeric data such as time code, metadata, and equalization values.
7. Transport Control Buttons
These three buttons provide the Record, Play, and Stop functions.
8. Function Buttons F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, MENU, and ENTER
Many of the function buttons are used for multiple tasks. When the touch screen display shows the home screen,
the function buttons perform the function written above them. In other menu modes, the function buttons can be
