AEQ FORUM - DIGITAL AUDIO MIXER FOR BROADCAST APPLICATIONS

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERNAL MENU

AEQ FORUM internal menu is displayed on the main screen of the Control and Monitoring

section of the control surface.

•

• Most of them allow you to modify values shown, changing routing or gains or applying

processes to the audio signals. For this purpose, the three rotary encoders and its four

contextual keys associated to this screen are used.

• Some screens of the internal menu are merely informative.

Depending on the information shown on the screen, the four contextual keys immediately

beneath the display will have different functions and as displayed on the last line of the display.

The three rotary encoders are associated with the options shown in the menu (each specific

screen will be explained in detail later in this manual). The specific associations of the encoders

are following the following thumb rule: the menu option that is shown farthest to the left or in the

highest position is controlled from the encoder located farthest to the left.

The default screen in AEQ FORUM shown in the main Control and Monitoring section display

includes the AEQ logo, the product name and current date and time.

Idle screen

The four options visible on the last line of the display are associated with the four contextual

keys below, from left to right:

• CLOCK: configuration of the system time and date, as well as control of the

chronometer and countdown functions.

• LOGIN/LOGOUT: registration of users in the system.

• MEMORY: access to the system snapshot memory bank. There is a default

configuration labelled DEFAULT and up to six memory positions for user-

defined configurations.

• MENU: advanced menu for configuring audio inputs / outputs, routing and

processing.

3.1. CLOCK Menu

This menu enables you to set the time and date displayed by the system and to activate and

control the Chronometer and Countdown functions. Take into account that this is the local date

and time and not the system master clock, which is only configurable from the Configuration

Software (see section 4. CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE in this manual to sync this local clock

with an external master clock generator).
