During normal operation, the RM2200D software draws this display at the bottom of your PC monitor, as shown in the following picture.
The bottom row of the display shows the channel status indicators for each channel on the mixing desk. The number on top of each indicator and the label tell you, which channel on the mixing desk is displayed.
The timer below the label shows the elapsed time since the last fader start event. The channel status indicators can have different colors showing different states. These colors are shown in the following table, the highest priority is on top:
| Color of channel status indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Channel is in Cue Mode. |
| Green | Channel is in Select Mode. |
| Red | Channel is active, fader is open. |
| Off (Black) | Channel is off, fader is closed. |
If a condition with a higher priority occurs, it overwrites the current display of the channel status indicator.
In the top row the following information is displayed:
Date and Time show the current date and time. The actual values are read from the PCs clock. It is recommended to synchronize this clock to a reference clock or a time server.
Timer is a stopwatch. It can count up or down and is controlled by fader start events. To set the timer, click the button . The icons on the buttons will then change to arrows which you can use to set the desired count down time. Count down will start when you click the button or open a fader. To stop the timer, click the button or close the fader. To reset the timer, use the button .
Meter 1 and 2 are two independent level meters. You can use them to display the levels of any signal on the audio bus of the RM2200D. The signals include available inputs, summing and Aux busses, clean feeds and monitor busses. To change the input signal, click the button next to the desired meter and choose another source from the Audio Sources window.
In the top right corner of the window are some more interface elements, listed from left to right:
If you click on the DHD logo, your web browser will open the homepage of DHD.
The button switches the software to Configuration Mode, the button closes a Full Screen Display, if one is open.
The two LEDs labelled RM2200D Remote Control show the status of the network connection similar to a network adapter or switch: The left LED should be always on, if the network link is available, the right one flickers according to the network traffic.
The checkbox No full screen prevents the Full Screen Display from opening, if it is checked.
The three small icons in the top right corner do the following: The leftmost minimizes the RM2200D software into the Windows task bar, the middle one keeps the Small Screen Display always on top of all other windows, if the pin icon is “plugged in”. The rightmost (the cross) closes the RM2200D software with a confirmation dialog.
The display changes from Small Screen Mode to Full Screen Mode, if:
You press the Select key of any fader channel on the mixing desk.
You click one of the channel status indicators at the bottom row of the Small Screen Display, thus selecting it from the software. On the mixing desk, the Select LED on the selected fader channel will light up.
In Full Screen Display Mode, it shows the properties of the channel currently selected on the mixing desk. The currently selected channel status indicator changes its color to green. If you press another Select key on the mixing desk or click another channel status indicator in the software, the display changes according to the state of the selected channel. Full Screen Display changes back to Small Screen Display when:
You press the currently active Select key on the mixing desk, thus deactivating it.
You click the currently active channel status indicator again.
You click the button (top right of the Small Screen Display). This hides the currently active Full Screen Display.
If the checkbox No fullscreen is checked, the software does not open the Full Screen Display, even if you select a channel.
