2.1.2. Monitoring and Control Section
The control and monitor section (C & M) of the control surface is located to the right. This
section enables the overall management of the signals on the system, including routing and
control processes. Monitoring of the signals used in developing the final program can be done
using the VU-Meters and CUE controls.
This section to control and monitor is divided into four main areas:
• Control VU meters, can visually monitor the levels for the audio signals from the
master output and the CUE bus.
• Programmable keys: dedicated buttons with special functions defined through the
configuration software.
• Main screen, which displays the internal menus. This section also incorporates
contextual keys and encoders.
• Studio, Control and Talk-back monitoring, where you manage the audio signals sent
to the headphones and speakers, both for the control room and the studio. Further,
the talk-back functions for the intercom for both areas (Control and Studio) is also
managed from this section.
