CM403 TFT Display
The TFT screen displays meters and an overview of the monitor
bus assignments. The top half of the screen displays metering.

System 5 Multi-Opera-
tor Conguration
In a multi-operator film post environment, the user experiences
a single, large console that allows multiple operators. In real-
ity, each section is a unique System 5 console, which allows a
maximum number of channels per operator. The Mix and Solo
buses are normally linked across the consoles. Often the Aux
and Group buses are not linked but local to each operator. In a
two-operator system, one console usually handles the FX and
the other Music and Dialog. Only one console, designated the
Master, uses its monitor matrix. Each operator has a Film Post
Panel located in their section. Although positioned near a par-
ticular operator’s surface, each panel is connected to the Mas-
ter console network allowing access to the monitor matrix.
