Appendix E
Mirror Mode
Mirror Mode is used to mirror the displays of an Element console. Mirror mode is intended primarily
to allow a designer or assistant to see the exact same displays as a programmer on the system.
An Element console can be mirrored by an RVI, another Element console, or a client PC. An RVI or
a client PC will automatically run in mirror mode when they see an Element console online.
Displays
Monitor 1 on the mirroring device matches external monitor 1 on the console, and monitor 2
matches external monitor 2 on the console. A client will mirror as many monitors as it has available.
All formats used on the console are shown on the mirroring device including flexichannel states,
column widths, chosen parameters, and pages.
The CIA will open on monitor 1. Not all CIA displays shown on the device in mirror mode. The
following CIA displays are synchronized:
• About
•Effects
• Effects Status
• Color Picker
• Curves
