Desk Config Menu; Set Video Adcs; Front Panel - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

Setup Options

Desk Config Menu

This menu contains configuration and calibration facilities for the console. The items
here will normally be set by SSL's Commissioning Engineer and should not be
changed without due consideration, or at least not without first informing other
console users.

Set Video ADCs

This calls up a panel where the colour balance of the ADCs for the J Series Computer's
two video inputs may be adjusted (see opposite). Stab on Channel 1 or Channel 2 to
select the input for adjustment. Note that the panel will be conveniently superimposed
over the video source for that input.
Two sets of faders are provided for adjustment of the Contrast and Brightness of
individual RGB inputs plus, in each case, an overall control.
The single red fader below adjusts the Output Level of the video card. Turn this up if
your console monitor looks a bit dim.
Video Sync may be selected to Main (system/house sync), Ref (a separate external
sync input) or sync on green (G).
Stab and drag on Phase to alter the horizontal screen position/phase of computer
displays on an external monitor only. This may be used to optimise the displays for a
particular video monitor. Nothing to do with audio!
Any new settings may be saved to the System Disk with Save. The last saved settings
may be recalled with Revert. Stab OK to retain changes, or Quit to leave the panel
without effecting any alterations.

Front Panel

This relates to the SL955 front panel beneath the computer monitor. The console's
network ID number is shown, along with a Reset box and a control for the brightness
of the LED alpha-numeric display on the panel.
The red fader to the right is used to set up the pen and tablet 'swipe' sensitivity
(minimum sensitivity to the top, maximum at the bottom).
Save and Load (to load the last saved) are provided for the two fader settings.
To change the alpha-numeric display on the front panel, stab on the blue box above
the Load box. This produces a pop-up (see opposite) with the following choices –
Events, Date, Time, Timecode, and Off. Stab on the entry you wish to display.
