The Film and Post Monitoring Panel fulﬁlls the requirements for

atraditionalPEC/Directmonitoringsystemforthelmpost-pro-

duction environment. The Film Monitor module is divided into

twodistinctparts:thetraditionalPEC/DIRpanelontheleft,and

an additional utility panel to the right. The right panel duplicates

most of the master section’s monitoring and setup functions

The PEC/DIR panel houses the traditional paddles used for

PEC/DIR,Bus/Playback,orBus/Tapeswitching.Thesecondsets

ofpaddlesareusedtoputtrack(s)intorecord.Thereareeight

paddle strips, with associated switches above them, and a mas-

ter control strip. All operations take place within the console’s

existingmonitormatrixandaffectonlythemain(CR)monitors.

The system automatically sends mix buses to the correct moni-

tor bus based on the bus section format. For example, when

monitoring FX, the left bus of the section is automatically sent

to the left monitor bus. It is sometimes required to override this

assignment and send a mix bus to a different monitor bus than

wasintended.ItispossibletousetheExp/Selkeysabovethe

displaysonthePEC/DIRpaddletoselectbuseswithinasection.

Whena busisselected, theSpeaker Re-Assignpanel illumi-

nates the current monitor bus assignment. Selecting a different

speaker from the panel re-assigns the bus within the monitor

matrix.
