The Fat Channel shows a detailed display of the parameters for the currently called signal path. A
signal path may be a mono live or track feed, a bus or a multichannel surround format link group
which can be selected and modified from a single set of controls.
The user and system names of the signal path are displayed at the top left. The input box
at the left of the signal path, indicates the format or element name of the path and the
user name and system name of the physical input from which it is patched
The input meter shows the signal level at the input of the signal path.
If a track feed is selected, the input fader level is shown.
The EQ display shows a graph of the equaliser response.
The dynamics display shows the composite transfer function of the entire dynamics
section. The display also includes gain reduction signal meters for all three sections. If the
dynamics are switched IN the graph is highlighted, if switched OUT the graph is dimmed.
The insert send and receive I/O patching is displayed. If the insert is switched IN the
insert display is highlighted, if switched OUT the display is dimmed.
The main fader level for the signal path is displayed with a numeric display of the fader
gain. This is an active control.
The direct out level, pre/post status and output patching is displayed. If the direct out is
switched ON the direct out display is highlighted, if switched OFF the display is dimmed.
The direct out level is shown with a horizontal bar. If the direct out is switched ON the bar
is yellow, if switched OFF the bar is violet. The section of the bar above 0dB of gain is
shown in red.
The Auxiliary bus display shows the status of each aux send. The send level is shown with
a horizontal bar. If the send is switched ON the bar is yellow, if switched OFF the bar is
violet. The section of the bar above 0dB of gain is shown in red.
The pan display offers a sophisticated representation of the signal path panner. The
display always shows a 5.1 sound field as the panning information for any path can be
applied to any format bus to which it is assigned. The red circle indicates the current pan
position. If a link group has been called, the pan display shows a red circle for the pan
position of each member and a yellow circle for the position of the virtual link group
master. When diverge is applied, a white circle represents the perceived image size.
When a bus is called, the output box displays the output patching, showing each bus
element and the user and system names of the physical outputs to which they are
connected.
