17 PRO X User Manual
Terminology
To support both FOH and MON use, the terminology has been chosen very
carefully to apply equally to both (see “Glossary” in Appendix Q). For a denition
of the primary buses on the PRO X Control Centres, see “Denition of the primary
buses” in Appendix J.
GUI diagrams
This manual contains numerous diagrams that represent the GUI screen
displays. Due to the many permutations of control settings, operating status,
channelcongurations etc., it is inevitable that these diagrams will look slightly
dierent to those on your control centre.
Anti-aliasing
To make the GUI of the PRO X as crisp, eye-catching and as intelligible as
possible it incorporates an anti-aliasing algorithm to ensure the utmost
smoothness of straight lines and curves.
Training
The PRO X Control Centre Quick Reference Guide, which has been extracted
entirely from this manual, provides a useful structured training guide. For more
details, see Appendix I “Documentation”.
