Expression 3 - ETC

Chapter 2
Monitor displays
Expression 3 works with two color video monitors. The Playback display
monitor provides information about cues, submasters and time code
events in your show, as well as the current status of the console’s two
fader pairs.
The Command display monitor provides the usual programming displays,
including Stage and Blind, according to your programming and monitoring
needs. These displays allow you to create and run shows and to configure
your console and your lighting system. 4
You can also use the Playback monitor to provide Command displays, thus
doubling the number of channels you can view at one time. Press
[Expand] to toggle the Playback display between these two functions.
If your system includes an ETCNet network, additional monitors may be
installed at other locations, such as backstage or in the sound booth.
These remote monitors show the same displays as the console’s
monitors. See Installing remote video monitors, page 354, for information
about installing remote monitors.
The console also provides a set of seven LED displays across the top of
your console face panel. These displays provide information regarding
your faders, cues, submasters, groups, and levels. This information
supplements that supplied by the monitors.
Chapter two includes descriptions of the following displays:
• Stage
• Blind
• Fader
• Flexichannel
• Tracksheet
• Patch
• Park
• Playback
• LED displays

Press [Swap] to exchange the Command and Playback displays
between the monitors.
