Section 3: Main Display Area
The main color display presents information about
various sections of the console. It can be switched to
different screens using the console's View buttons,
as well as any of the 8 buttons on the right side of
the display.
The top section of the main display permanently
covers useful status information. The top left corner
shows the selected channel number, its nickname
and the selected icon. The next block shows the
current scene number and name in amber, as well
as the next upcoming scene. The center section
displays the playback file name along with elapsed
and remaining time and a recorder status icon.
The next block to the right has 4 segments to show
the status of AES50 ports A and B, the Card slot and
the audio clock synchronization source and sample
rate (top right). Small green square indicators show
proper connectivity. The right most block shows the
console time that can be set under Setup/Config.
When working with any given screen, press the
Page keys located on the display bezel to switch to
different screen pages.
Editing parameters or settings on each of the screens
is done using the 6 associated push-encoders along
the bottom edge of the display.
Section 4: Group/Bus Channel Banks
This section of the console offers eight channel
strips, divided into the following layers:

When using the DCA Groups layer, the DCA Groups
can be soloed and muted, but they cannot be
selected. To edit the DCA group names, icons and
colors, navigate to the Setup/DCA Groups page on
the main display.
When using any of the output bus layers, note that
the bottom LEDs on the meters in this section
illuminate when the respective bus is fed from
pre-fader sources of the selected channel.
Section 5: Various Assignments (DCA groups,
mute groups, custom assignable controls)
Assigning DCA Groups
•
Thanks to the two distinct fader groups (inputs on
the left, outputs on the right), the task of assigning
channels or buses to a virtual DCA Group is a breeze
on the X32. Simply hold the respective DCA Group
Select button on the right-hand side of the console,
while pressing the select buttons for all the input
channels that you wish to assign to said DCA Group.
You can also press the DCA Group Select button in
order to check which channels are already assigned to
it. The assigned channel Select buttons will light up.
Assigning Mute Groups
•
The mute group assignment process is similar to the
above, but is designed with an additional precaution
in order to prevent accidental muting of channels
during a show. To assign input/output channels
to one of the six mute groups (controlled by the
buttons located to the right of the Main LR fader)
you need to first switch on the Mute Grp button
next to the main display. While holding the desired
Mute Group button, select the desired input and
output channels, which will now be assigned to the
Mute Group. When you are done with assignment,
switch off Mute Grp at the display, and the 6 Mute
Group buttons will work as intended.
