AEQ FORUM
Digital audio mixer for broadcast applications

The operation of the programmable keys allows two possibilities:
• NORMAL: the pressing of the key triggers the the execution of the programmed action.
Pressing it again will produce the end of the previously launched action, or in the case
of SALVOS, even the opposite action or disconnection of the SALVO.
• PTT (PUSH-TO-TALK): the pressing of the key will trigger the execution of the
programmed action but only remains active as long as you keep the button pressed.
All keys can be easily labelled, removing the translucent plastic cover and inserting a text label.
AEQ supplies with the equipment a template that allows you to create these labels on clear
acetate or plain paper.
2.1.2.3. Main screen.
The main screen is a two coloured OLED (yellow/black) 128x64 pixel resolution display, that
shows the entire internal advanced menu of the AEQ FORUM. For more information see section
“3. DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERNAL MENU” of this manual.
To simplify operations in the internal menu shown on this screen there are four short-cut keys
and three associated rotary encoders. Depending on the information shown on the last line of
the menu screen visible on the main display, these short-cut keys will have a function or
another.
At most, the last line will have four menu options visible from left to right, and they are directly
associated with short-cut keys from left to right.
The three rotary encoders are related to the remaining lines of the menu. Each screen is
described in chapter 3 of this manual but the thumb-rule for the association of the rotary
encoder to the visible functions is: option visible to the left or in the upper part of the menu is
controlled from the encoder located to the left. In many cases the encoders are represented and
labelled on the screen for easy operation.
