3.4 diamond - Control Surface Modules
The diamond surface is modular. All slots are equal in width: 1 ME = 168mm, equivalent to 4-faders. There are two module
depths: full height (336mm) for standard frames, and half-height (168mm) for the upper slots in extended frames. The
standard sizing allows modules to be repositioned to achieve the desired layout.
Maximum Slot Allocations
When combining more than one frame, or exchanging modules, it is important that the maximum slot allocations are not
exceeded:
The
maximum number of physical faders is 60
(equivalent to 15 Fader modules).
For the central
controls,
up to 7 Central
and
4 Combo
modules are
supported. Each
Combo takes the place of a Fader
module (in slots 12 to 15), and the following conditions must be observed:
Power Core (single-console license) - supports one Access Group, controlled from either a Central or Combo
module.
Power Core (Max license) - supports up to 4 Access Groups, controlled from any combination of Central and Combo
modules (access group numbers must be unique).
Any additional Central and Combo modules run in monitor mode.
For
extension modules
, the following rules apply:
Up to 15 Rotary Fader Extension Modules (in slots 33 to 47).
Up to 4 Combo Extension Modules (in slots 44 to 47). Each Combo Extension replaces a Rotary Fader Extension.
Up to 6 Rotary Central Extension or Key Extension Modules (in slots 49 to 54).
Up to 7 additional Key Extension Modules (in slot 48 and slots 20 to 25).
The slot allocations can be checked by opening the "Frames
→
Surface" configuration in the ON-AIR Designer.
Standard Modules
All standard modules are 168mm x 336mm (full height). They
can be
fitted to a standard frame or the lower slots in an
extended frame.
In summary, the options are:
Fader Module A
- 4 x fader strips (layout A).
Fader Module B
- 4 x fader strips (layout B).
Central Module
- dedicated central controls for maximum
functionality.
Combo Module A
- 2 x fader strips (layout A) + condensed central controls.
Combo Module B
- 2 x fader strips (layout B) + condensed central controls.
Blind Plate (full height)
- can be fitted to a larger frame to allow for future
expansion.
The table below provides more information.
The operation of each module is defined by its slot ID, and not the physical position in the frame. This means that a
module can be positioned anywhere in the frame and still offer the same functionality.
