Workspaces
Workspaces offer independent display control on all of your connected monitors. Each
workspace can be individually configured with any of the layout, display, and control options
available in the
Workspace Layout Menu (on page90)
.
Every monitor can have up to three workspaces, identified by the numbered workspace icons
in the upper left corner of any monitor. Select an icon to open that workspace, or use [Tab] &
[Page Up] and [Tab] & [Page Down] to cycle through workspaces on all monitors. A
{Workspace} softkey is available by pressing [Displays]. Hold {Workspace} and type the
number of a workspace to open.
Note:
From an alphanumeric keyboard, hold down either of the bracket buttons
([or]) and type in the number of the workspace you wish to view. For example, hold
down [ and press 2 to view workspace 2.
Frames
Each workspace can have up to 16 frames in its layout. The number and arrangement of
frames can be edited in the
Workspace Layout Menu (on page90)
.
Tabs
Any frame can have multiple tabs open. Tabs are broken down into two categories: Control
and Display. Control tabs are the virtual control options, such as the color picker and the
virtual keyboard. Display tabs are the various displays available on the console, such as the
playback status display and the park display.
You can open or close tabs using the Display Icons, Control Icons, or typing the [Tab] & the tab
number. Pressing [Shift] & [Tab] once will clear all tabs on the selected monitor but tabs in
locked frames will remain. Pressing [Shift] and tapping [Tab]twice will clear all tabs on all
monitors but tabs in locked frames will remain. Tapping [Tab] a third time will clear all tabs on
all monitors including those in locked frames.
Tabs can be reordered by dragging the tab to its new location.
White text in the tab indicates a Display Tab, and magenta text indicates a Control Tab.
All Display and Control Tabs have fixed
Tab Numbers
under which they open (for example,
“Live” opens under Tab 1, “Patch” under Tab 12, and “Color Picker” under Tab 27).
These numbers are identified on the Home Screen in each icon. For multiple instances of the
same display, the tab number will be followed with a decimal number. Additional tabs will
start their numbering with n.2. When you press [Tab], active focus will move numerically
through all open tabs on active workspaces.
Note:
Single clicking on a Controls Tab will bring it to the front of the frame but will
not move focus to that tab unless the tab’s frame already has focus. Double clicking
on a Controls Tab will bring it to the front and grab focus. Single clicking on a Display
Tab will bring it to the front and grab focus.
