Monitor selector includes 6 track mixer and cue-Keyboard control of high-speed selection. Cue Beep and pre-FOII position- Four programmable keys- System and keyboard error alarm Level of audio on all outputs, on cue track and beep tone level is adjustable at monitor selector control panel. The VCA mixer is for combining up to six tracks from the master recorder when multiple track recording and monitoring is needed for foley effects recording. The cue beeps on the actors headphones can be switched on and off from the selector control panel. All selector switch functions on the monitor selector front panel are multiplexed and sent in serial format via fiber optic to minimize noise transfer from console to the machine room. The "Cue manual/auto" selection switches the cue from playback mode in the "Ahead" of loop and back to normal Buss monitoring in "Loop" and "Past".
