System Basics 107
Holding down [Time] (the one by [Data]), while a cue is fading, will display the cue category
times counting down in the cue list display area. The default action is to show the total time
not the countdown.
To always show the countdown, a {PSD Time Countdown} option is available in PSD
configuration menu (see
Playback Status Display Configuration (on page110)
). When the {PSD
Time Countdown} is enabled, the cue category times will countdown as a cue is fading. To see
the total time, hold down the [Time] key. {PSD Time Countdown} is “disabled” by default.
There are three formats for the playback status display on all consoles except Element 2:
Expanded Cue List Format (below)
Split Playback Status Display (on the next page)
Fader Display Format (below)
By default, it will be an expanded cue list format. When the focus is on the playback status
display, press [Format] to toggle between the formats.

cue list, the view of the active cue list increases to the full size of the display. The current fader
page is visible at the bottom of the screen.

view of the fader configurations for 10 pages of 10 faders each (for a total of 100 visible
faders.

submasters are in red, additive submasters are yellow ,playback faders display in green ,and
presets and palettes are orange.
