CALREC Putting Sound in the Picture 21
A typical Artemis control surface is
made up of a number of identical
surface panels in the control bed
to make up the required quantity of
physical faders.
Fader & TFT Panels
For each standard control bed fader panel
fitted, a TFT panel is usually fitted in the
upstand above. See Fig 1.
The functionality of the standard control
bed panel is split - the lower section
comprises of the faders and associated
path controls. The upper section works in
conjunction with the upstand panel above
if fitted, giving access to various modes
of control functionality. In between these
two areas is the Modes Row which is used
to config the areas above and below.
The upper section of the upstand TFT
panel is used for displaying audio meters.
Fader panels can be fitted without an
associated upstand TFT panel if required,
however such panels would not provide
access to some of the selectable panel
mode functions.
A control surface with only one full fader
panel and upstand TFT panel pair fitted
gives full access to all control parameters
by switching between panel modes,
however multiple panels are normally
fitted to reduce the amount of mode
switching required, as well as to make all
controls close to hand from any physical
position along the width of the control
surface.
The ability to put any panel pair into
any mode also provides redundancy in
the event of a panel being damaged.
Maximizing the number of upstand panels
fitted also maximises the audio metering
available across the upstand.
