METERBRIDGE
D-75 / Sep 2004
Meterbridge
Overview
The console’s meterbridge houses two pairs of left-right LED meters
(Program and Switched; see “Output Module” Chapter 4), the digital timer
display, the cue speaker, and the console clock.
The meterbridge assembly hinges open for easy access (setting the clock).
Simply swing the bridge up and back until it rests in a fully opened position.
Digital Timer
The console timer control buttons are located on the OM-75 Output
Module (see page 4-2).
The timer is provided with an AUTO-RESTART function so programmed
input modules can automatically reset the timer display to zero and start a new
count, allowing the announcer to easily track his own pace.
The START/STOP button halts the timer, holds the last count, and then
restarts and accumulates the count when depressed again
—
perfect for
compiling tapes of desired duration.
RESET has a dual-mode capability:
- if you depress it while the timer is counting, the display will instantly reset
to zero and start a fresh count;
- if the timer is already stopped, depressing this button will reset the timer
to zero, where it will hold until start is pressed.
HOLD button allows you to hold the display for a longer viewing duration,
while still allowing the counter to continue in the background. Releasing the
button will then display the current count.
