1. GENERAL
The control panel for the Diamond digital DD10 is designed in a conventional mix-
ing-level-oriented arrangement. The classical arrangement with the crossbar con-
trol to the left, succeeding fader control according to the next transition principle
and key adjustment is familiar to many users and facilitates working in.
For better orientation and distinction of the functional groups, the individual control
groups are divided into panels which are optically and structurally separated from
each other. The individual functional groups are provided with titles and frames.
Keys, related with regard to their functions, are grouped within a gray field. Controls
are connected by lines indicating the associated functions.
Due to the variety of equal functions in the switcher, is was necessary to provide
the panels with a multiple assignment. The controls have only double functions
when they are related analogously.
The panels are provided with delegation keys which enable assignment of the cor-
responding control elements to a circuit section.
During operation, delegation of the panels is made by an auto delegation system
which also automatically switches several panels. Auto delegation is enabled by
selecting or preselecting a function. Actuating an already activated key enables
repetition of auto delegation.
An adjustable background illumination of the colors enables matching the readabil-
ity of the keys to the respective lighting conditions.
