The Bijou is a microprocessor-based control system with
all operational instruction sets and control routines embedded
in read-only memory. The control console front panel allows
access to these instructions and routines through key
selections. All key selections are echoed on the system
command line located at the bottom left of your monitor.
The Bijou is available as a “Memory Operation” only
board or as a combination “Manual” (2 Scene/1 Scene) and
“Memory” board. If your board has 2 Scene/1 Scene
capabilities you will find two rows of sliders arranged in
groupings of 24, 48 or 72 to the left or above the XY cross
faders. Operation of this fader will be discussed in the
chapter on Manual Operation.
NOTE: In all discussions of operation key caps will be
represented in [ ] so the term [Stage] equals the control
console key with “Stage silk” screened on it.
On all configurations of the Bijou will find the following front
panel controls:
1. CROSS FADER SECTION
Location of XY and AB cross faders, [Load], [Fade Take],
[Go], [Stop/Rev], Grand Master Fader and Blackout
Switch.
2. CONTROL KEYS
Select active display screens for monitor. Access
channels and level information. Organize recording,
playback and editing sequences. Start and stop
automated features.
3. ENCODER WHEEL

4. SUBMASTER/EFFECTS FADERS
Controls a manual and timed submaster & effect function
via fade handles or associated bump buttons.
5. DISK DRIVE (located on right side)

On 2 Scene Preset versions of the Bijou you will find:

Used to set channel output levels in 2 Scene and 1 Scene
manual operation.
7. BUMP BUTTONS (located in a row below the
Channel/faders) Drive the associated Channel output
