Pressing the
Source
key or selecting this option
with the SoftKnob displays the Source Selection menu.
The Source Selection screen displays the currently se-
lected source alongside a list of available sources and
their current ownership status. Operators may select a
source using the SoftKnobs or Nav Keys. They can also
preview a source before selecting it.

A Note About Source Sharing: Element’s
source sharing protocol keeps sources from re-
ceiving backfeeds from more than one console
at a time. Source control logic, however can be
either exclusive or shared.
If an operator tries to assign a source that’s al-
ready in use on another console and has a back-
feed or logic control enabled, the ID box in the
Channel Options screen displays “Listen Only”
rights to the source (as seen in the right-hand
box above) - no backfeed will be sent from his
console, and no machine logic is tied to the fad-
er’s ON/OFF keys. In this case, the Channel
Number box above the fader will display an “X”
which is an indicator of “listen-only” status
If the source is not in use anywhere else, the
operator is informed that they have “Full Con-
trol” of the source (as shown in the left-hand
box above), and backfeed and logic operate nor-
mally.

EQ & Dynamics

ization to be applied to the selected audio source and, if
it is a permitted source (mic, phone or codec), to apply
dynamics processing by Omnia. On the Standard Moni-
tor Module, pressing the
EQ & Dynamics
key causes the
EQ
screen to appear; pressing it a second time displays
the
