Interface Indicators The three indicator fields (CAB, CMS, Router) show the current status of
the optional interfaces to the CAB (computer assisted broadcast) system such
as a Studer DigiMedia playout system, to the Call Management System, and
to an external router control system. Each of them indicates three different
statuses:
Grayed out – Interface not configured
White on black – Interface configured, but not active
Bright red on black – Interface configured and active.
GUI Function Buttons The function of each of the twelve buttons at the right-hand edge of the central
screen is configurable. For each of them, a selection from a pool of various
GPIO (general-purpose inputs/outputs) and other functions (such as talkback
destination selection or level meter tap point selection, as shown left) is pos-
sible.
Example: Three of the buttons may be configured with ON-AIR, HOLD and
TELEPHONE in order to implement a telephone hybrid remote control over
the GPIOs. In such a case, touching a button generates a short output pulse
on the corresponding control output; the feedback signals from the telephone
hybrid going to the control inputs will highlight the buttons.
5.3.2 Color Code
Please note that a consistent color coding of the different functions has been
implemented. The color coding conventions are as follows:
Blue Input, high-pass filter, and test generator functions
Green Dynamics/De-Esser functions
Red Equalizer (EQ) functions
Orange AUX functions
Yellow Fader and bus functions, including sums and N–X
Purple Monitoring and talkback (TB) functions
Gray/Steel Blue Other functions, such as routing, insert, snapshot and system administra-
tion.
