Front panel connections 9
PRO6 Control Centre
Quick Reference Guide
Each GUI screen has its own default display (Overview and Meters as shown in
Figure 3), although either is selectable via the GUI main menu. The Overview screen
displays 12 inputs and two sets of eight outputs, and the Meters screen shows all the
meters, four inputs and a summary of the automation. Both screens have a banner at
the top, which is constantly displayed, and a channel strip down the outermost side.
The channel strips have a similar function to the ones on the control surface (see
Figure 2 on page 7), but provide extra functionality. Each displays an ‘overview’ of the
associated selected channel, which is divided into specific sections that provide access
to processing areas.
Front panel connections
The panel to the left of the mix bay GUI screen (item 7 in Figure 1) has an XLR socket
and two USB sockets for connecting a talk mic and USB devices, respectively. For
example, you can connect a USB memory stick for show file backup and transfer, or a
USB keyboard for text editing on the GUI.
Rear panel connections
A connector panel on the rear of the PRO6 Control Centre has three main sections (see
below). On the left are three mains power inlet and ventilation assemblies, with a
DC power switch above. The mid-section contains connections for the audio, network,
communications, intercoms, synchronisation, external remote devices and peripheral
devices. The section on the right is the user-configurable modular I/O section.
The modular I/O section can house up to three of any of the following I/O modules in
any combination: DL441 analogue input module; DL442 analogue output module;
DL443 analogue insert input/output module; and DL452 digital in/out (AES/EBU)
module. This gives a maximum of 24 inputs and 24 outputs, if the appropriate cards
are fitted. The following diagram shows the standard I/O module configuration in which
the DL443 (top), DL441 (middle) and DL452 (bottom) are fitted.
