Terminology
Central Information Area (CIA)
The Central Information Area (CIA) is the central place to configure, setup, and receive feedback
from the console. The CIA is a context-sensitive extension of the command keypad, used for
access to non-intensity parameter controls, the browser, the color picker, and a variety of other
functions. The command line, selected cue, and status information are also displayed here.
The message and status line displays the show name and label, show status, network indicator and
status, current user and time stamp, and more. The browser menu is provided for access to file
functions, setup, patch, utilities, printing and display of record target lists.
