The SEL button is used mainly for selecting the channel for editing. The SEL button is
also used for other functions such as selecting channels to a VCA or MUTE Group.

INPUT CHANNEL STATUS WINDOW

Each input channel has an Input Channel Status Window which shows the following
information. The displays for the stereo channels and the FX Returns have stereo input
meters.

to the encoder's function at any given time.
The encoder is used in two modes. The first is GLOBAL MODE,
where each encoder within its bank of 16 channels displays
and controls the same item of data for each respective channel,
e.g. each encoder could display and change the gain setting of
its own channel.
The second mode is CHANNEL MODE. In this mode all of the
encoders and tops of the status windows are used together to
display and change data for one selected channel. This collective
function is called the Virtual Channel Strip (VCS). This mode is
activated when an Input Channel's SEL button is pressed.
