The Central Information Area (CIA) is the central place to configure, setup, and access contextual
controls from the console. The CIA is a context-sensitive extension of the command keypad, used
for access to non-intensity parameter controls, the browser, the color picker, and a variety of other
tools. The command line, selected cue, and status information are also displayed here.
The message and status line displays the show name and function, network status, current user,
time stamp, and more. The browser menu is provided for access to file functions, setup, patch,
utilities, printing, and display of record target lists.
