18.7.2 VIDEO DISPLAYS
Typical video screen.
The video screen is divided into the main display
(the white area on this simulation) and the
selectable areas (the dark areas on the left).
18.7.3 MAIN DISPLAY
The main part of the screen shows the fixture
intensities (cyan bargraphs) at the top, a message
area in the middle and the status of the playbacks
and masters at the bottom.
The bargraphs are laid out in a similar fashion to
the maXim faders. Their intensity levels are
shown in tens on the side axis of the display and
in units inside each individual bar. The intensity
levels are shown prior to the patch.
The contents of each playback are shown in the
“TYP” row by a symbol and colour. The colour is
repeated in the bargraph.
18.7.4 SELECTABLE AREAS
The left side of the screen is selected by the
operator and shows either:
• 1 of 3 selectable video pages (not shown
above, see below) or
• If none of the 3 pages are selected it further
divides the left side into 4 areas and allows
you to select any 4 Playbacks or the stack
master and “pin” a status display for that
Playback or stack into any of the 4 positions
(as shown above).
