System Control
Software User Interface
Once a system design is compiled and downloaded into E Desk devices, the system can be controlled in real-time the
via the E Desk
software. The extent of control can be limited with different password levels.
In addition, Control Dialog Boxes for certain Combiners, Dynamics, Controls, & Meters components can be
minimized to create customized control surfaces (room combiners, meters, level controls, mute buttons, & preset
buttons). These control surfaces can then be made accessible to the User, only with a specific Password.
These control surfaces remain functional, even if other component settings are made inaccessible to the User (via
Password Level). The control surfaces can also remain visible, even if the components they represent are made
invisible (via Layer View). Therefore, a custom User control surface can be created in the Layout, with User access
allowed, but with all other system settings inaccessible (and hidden). The size & shape of the Layout may be
changed, and Toolbars hidden, to customize the appearance of the User control screen.
