METERBRIDGE
R-55 / Mar 2003
Meterbridge
Overview
The console’s meterbridge houses two pairs of left-right VU meters
(Program and Switched; see “Output Module” Chapter 3), the digital timer,
and the cue speaker.
The meterbridge assembly hinges open for easy access. Simply swing the
bridge up and back until it rests in a fully opened position.
Digital Timer
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 compil-
ing 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 stay 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.
