The Home Screen

The home screen is the top level screen and is intended to be used for 95%
of all operations. The left side soft buttons select the monitor point in the
Maestro signal path. The right side soft buttons select the audio group
desired. The soft buttons at the bottom provide level control and other
functions that can appear on a home screen corresponding to the audio
group selected.

Note

The home screen can be accessed at any time by pressing the dedicated soft
button in the lower right corner of the VGA display labeled Home.

At the top of the screen, a title is displayed in text that is the combination
of the monitor point selected by the soft-buttons on the left side and the
audio group selected on the right side. This text is displayed as "Monitor
Point / Audio Group." On a second line of text, located directly beneath
the previous text is displayed the source name for the audio group selected.
This display is redundant in a sense because some button elsewhere on the
panel can show the same information, but this text appears as a title to the
meter display to help the operator keep track of where they are when nav-
igating through the audio functions.
