24 ARTEMIS Digital Broadcast Production Console Control Overview
Alternate Fader/Monitor Panel
There is an alternate Monitor panel that is
designed to fit in the space of a standard
fader panel which is a combination of the
bottom half of an 8 fader panel and the
monitor spill/joystick panel which is shown
on the previous page.
The fader section provides the ability to
control the 8 A/B paths assigns for Fader,
Cut, AFL, ISO, DIR TB & PFL controls.
All the other functions that are normally
available above the Assign buttons such
as the Modes and Layers Row, Function
Row and Function Control Cells, have to
be controlled from another fader panel.
This is acceptable because in assign
mode the other panels can control those
functions. The panel does show the Layer
Selected and user split status.
Above this section is a remodelled version
of the monitor panel which provides all
the controls available on that panel with
the exception of Talkback Groups which
appear on the fader panel in Talkback
mode and additional Pan controls again
which are available on the Fader panel in
Send/Route mode. This was deemed to
be an acceptable compromise given that
this panel provides the additional 8 faders
to allow a 72 fader bed on the console
without a gap and still fit in an O.B truck.
As well as monitoring controls, misc
monitoring, surround spill, surround
downmix and joystick panning. It also
provides broadcast facilities such as
On-Air/Rehearse switching, and 8 GPIO
controls on user assignable buttons with
LED tallies.
If required, for example on a large console
or for multiple operators, multiple
fader/monitor panels can be fitted.
As well as having access to 4 miscellaneous
monitor or headphone outputs, each panel
can switch between controlling monitor 1
and monitor 2. This is achieved by the
addition of a Mon2 CRLS button in the
MISC TB MON control button cell in the
monitor section.
