Nova Operating Principles
A number of other displays can either replace the Main Mix or
appear over it (pop-ups) to perform setup operations such as
patching, console layout configuration, control linking, etc.
Depending on the display, there may be three ways to open it:
press a front panel button, select an on-screen menu option or
press a keyboard shortcut key. Throughout this manual, tables
are included to show the different options – for example, to
open the PATCH IN grid:
• Press PATCH IN on the UTILITIES panel.
• Using the trackball select “GRID -> Patch Input” from
the main menus.
• Press [F11] on the console keyboard.
The functions of each menu option are summarised below:
