1.1 The Console

The Digico SD7 consists of a worksurface with dual redundant audio engines and a range of onboard inputs and outputs. This

can be connected to multiple Input/Output Rack Units by optical fibre and/or MADI links, which carry all the audio input and output

signals.

The console worksurface consists of 3 sections that can be configured to control up to 254 input/output channels, up to 36

VCAs, 128 busses and 32 Matrix Inputs and Outputs.

The left and right sections have 12 assignable faders and 12 sets of assignable on-screen channel controls, the centre section

has 24 assignable faders and 2 pairs of assignable master faders.

The console's buss architecture is dynamic, and can support mono, stereo, LCR, LCRS and 5.1 configurations.

Multiple console setups can provide:

Front of House and Monitoring with shared stage racks and gain tracking.

Remote control of one console from another console or from a laptop computer.

1.2 Manual Overview

This manual provides an overview of the desk, and describes some of the basic operating principles which the user will need to

understand in order to run the desk.

For full details on all SD software functionality please refer to the SD Series Software Reference Manual available for download

at www.digico.biz

The following typographical convention used in this manual: An arrow bracket (>) is used to indicate a sequence of button

pressing. For example, Layout > Fader Banks indicates that the

Fader Banks button is accessed by first pressing the Layout button.

1.3.2 Layers and Banks .................................................................

The SD7's worksurface is divided into Layers and Banks. Each Bank contains twelve channels, and the channels which are

currently active on the control surface are defined using the fader bank and bank layer buttons to the right of the Channel Strip

section’s faders:

A ‘bank’ is a set of twelve faders, and a ‘layer’ contains up to six ‘banks’. There are up to 3 ‘layers’ in each section of the desk,

allowing up to 216 channels to be accessible on each worksurface section.

Pressing the bank layer button, located above the fader bank buttons, toggles between layers.

To access a bank of faders within that layer, press the appropriate fader bank button. To switch all three sections of the

console to the same bank level, press and hold one of the fader bank buttons.

The specific channels which are contained within each Bank is defined in the Layout > Fader Banks display. By default, the

Input channels will be assigned to Layer 1 on the left and right sections of the console. The different output channels will be

assigned to Layer 2 and also to the upper centre section. Control Groups will be assigned to the lower centre section. These bank

assignments can be customised by the user and saved in a session at any time. Holding any bank or layer button down for a

couple of seconds will switch all 3 worksurface sections to the same bank level or layer.

1.3.3 Using the Control Surface ....................................................

There are two main ways in which all of the functions of the SD7 are accessed:

1. The touchscreen display, which can be controlled directly using a finger, or by using the keyboard and mouse

2. The physical encoders, switches and faders.

Note that when touching the screen directly, you may find it easier to use a finer point than your finger.

However, in order to prevent damage to the screen, it is important that you only use devices specifically

designed for touching screens (such as a pda stylus), and that you never press down hard on the screen.

A number of functions can be accessed in different ways, allowing users to operate the console using whichever interface they

prefer. This manual will describe accessing on-screen functions by touching the screen directly and not by using the mouse.

All of the physical controls found in the centre section are described in full within the relevant section of the manual and many

require no further introduction.

The Master screen has a row of grey buttons accross the top, which are used to access a range of configuration displays.

Pressing these buttons opens either a further drop-down sub-menu or a pop-up display. If a drop-down menu is opened, pressing

on one of its entries will open a pop-up display. The buttons lighten to indicate that their sub-menu or pop-up display is open. A

number of the buttons within each pop-up display generate further pop-ups.

Generallly, buttons within the pop-ups are coloured grey when their function is inactive, switching to a colour when their function

is active. Pressing on a text box opens a numeric or QWERTY keypad which can be operated directly by pressing the screen or

via the console’s external keyboard.

Pop-ups are closed by pressing the box in the top right-hand corner of the pop-up, marked CLOSE or CANCEL (or by pressing

CAN on keypad pop-ups).

To the right of the Master Panel is a single encoder marked Touch-Turn (shown below). This is used to access any rotary

controls within the Master Panel. To assign the Touch-Turn encoder to a particular on-screen pot, touch the pot to be assigned.

You will notice that a coloured ring appears around the on-screen pot, indicating that it is assigned to the Touch-Turn encoder.

The colour of this ring is unique to that control, and is also reflected in the base of the Touch-Turn encoder, providing further

indication of which pot is currently assigned to it.

1.3.4 The Assigned Channel .........................................................

One of the channels in the Channel Strip panel is displayed in gold, indicating that it is currently the Assigned Channel. This means

that it has been assigned to the worksurface controls and can be configured in detail, as described below. To Assign a channel,

touch anywhere in the channel on the screen except the Aux Send area of the input channels. Alternatively, use the ch left and

right buttons at the bottom of the channel worksurface controls to scroll through the channels in the panel:

Note that these left and right arrows are duplicated in the channel Setup and Output displays.

Note also that the Channel List display provides another method for assigning a channel to the worksurface

controls.

Once a channel is Assigned, all of the controls for that channel which are not displayed within the channel strip itself can be

accessed via secondary pop-ups, displayed by touching inside the relevant area of the channel. These pop-ups include controls

such as input and output routing and signal processing parameters.

A number of the physical rotary encoders on the control surface can be assigned to different on-screen pots. In order to ensure

that it is clear which function is assigned to which encoder, the assigned on-screen pot will have a coloured ring around it which

will be reflected in the colour of the light around the base of the encoder on the control surface.

The twelve encoders and buttons immediately above the Channel Strip panel (shown above) refer to the channels with which

they are aligned. These controls are concerned with the channel input, located at the top of the Channel Strip panel.

The three rows of encoders and buttons immediately below the Channel Strip also refer to the channels with which they are

aligned. Normally, these control the level and on/off status of the three highlighted aux sends, but can have a number of functions

assigned to them. Touching on an aux send on the screen will assign that aux and the ones immediately below it to the aux

encoders. Six aux sends can be displayed in the Channel Strip panel at any one time. If more than six aux sends have been

created in the session, the scroll button outside the bottom left-hand corner of the screen can be used to scroll the display

through the remaining auxiliaries:

The controls to the right of the Channel Strip panel allow the Assigned channel to be adjusted:

The top half of the channel worksurface controls (down as far as the insert a, insert b and direct buttons, as shown above)

control the signal processing parameters which are displayed in the pop-ups accessed by touching in the appropriate section of

the active channel. The bottom half of the channel worksurface controls is concerned with output routing.

To the left of the Channel Strip panel are more channel controls: When pressed, the 2nd function button allows access to

different parameters:

1) Stereo Aux Pan and Pre/Post switching

2) Hard Mute of a channel

3) Switching of LR or LCR panning

4) Fine adjustment of Delay settings on output channels

2nd function is indicated by a green 2nd Function display appearing in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen, as well as by

the 2nd function button lighting with a ring of green.

The Option/All button has 2 main functions:

1) When pressed and released, any channel that is a member of a gang will be temporarily isolated from that gang.

2) When pressed and held, any parameter that is adjusted on a single channel will also be adjusted in the same way on all

of the channels in that bank

1.3.5 The Master Fader..................................................................

By default, the lower master faders are both assigned to the master group output, which is the lowest stereo group output by

default. In addition, the master faders can be assigned to the solo buss outputs. The ASSIGN FADERS function can be used to

assign any other function to these faders.

SD7 - Getting Started

1-6

1.3.6 Channel Types ......................................................................

The SD7 has 4 different channel types which are laid out in banks of 12 on the console worksurface and can be identified by their

colour.

By default, the Input Channels will be assigned to Layer 1 on the left and right sections of the console.

The output channels (Groups, Auxes and Matrices) will be assigned to Layer 2 and also to the upper centre section.

Control Groups will be assigned to the lower centre section. These bank assignments can be customised by the user and saved

in a session at any time.

Holding any bank or layer button down for a couple of seconds will switch all 3 worksurface sections to the same bank level or

layer.

The controls on each different type of output channel are identical but an input channel has a number of additional features.
