You may adjust the viewing angle of the LCD from almost flat to almost upright. To change the viewing angle, pull
the large LOCK lever downwards and tilt the LCD to a comfortable viewing angle. Once the LCD is at the right
angle, push the lock lever upwards. Be careful not to adjust the viewing angle when the LOCK lever is in lock
position and do not exert undue force when adjusting the viewing angle.
To the left of the LCD are the stereo L/R bus level meters - these show the master level as set by the MASTER fader.
When a channel is solo’d, depending on the selected solo status (i.e. PFL, AFL or SIP), these meters show that
channel’s level. When used with inputs, input levels may be set more accurately using these meters than using the
LCD’s meters.
To the right of the LCD are the six Q-Link pots. These are used to set parameters on the LCD.
Below the screen are six ‘soft’ keys, the functions of which change according to the screen being displayed.
To the left of the function keys is a simple talkback mic. Its level can be regulated using the TB LEVEL pot directly
below it.
Underneath the function keys is a dedicated timecode display. This can be switched between timecode (hours :
minutes : seconds : frames) and BBC (Bars : Beats : Clocks) using the DISPLAY SELECT key to its right, Display
status is indicated by two small LEDs between the display and the DISPLAY SELECT key.
Finally, the CONTRAST control allows you to adjust contrast for the best view according to your viewing angle.
