Display Mode - Multicorrelator Instrument

  

 
 
General Description  

In display mode, the TouchMonitor shows the instruments and their layout defined in the currently loaded preset.

Touching the screen area of an instrument will put this instrument into focus. This is recognized by a colored frame instead of a grey one. The frame color conforms to the identifier set for the group the focused instrument belongs to.

The Control Bar positioned at the lower screen edge contains several keys. It is displayed permanently if the "Control Bar" option in the "General" section of the "System" menu is set to "permanent". Otherwise, it will be displayed temporarily after touching the screen.

The Control Bar has two sections. The left (upper) section shows the specific keys defined for the focused instrument. This makes it very fast to access a specific function of one of the instruments on screen – just touch the instrument and select the desired function.

  

Please note:
The specific keys that are displayed in the left (upper) Control Bar section can be defined individually for each instrument. To do this, touch the "Edit Instrument" key and select the "Configure Keys" option in the menu. The default value for each key can be set in the menu as well.

Instrument Description  

With surround modes selected (not with TMR7), the Multicorrelator instrument in Normal mode shows a multi-fold correlator display and features phase meters for all possible channel pairs (except LFE) graphically placed in the speaker setup of the respective surround mode. A low pass filter (300 Hz) can be activated and is represented in the LS/RS phase meter. In LFE mode, it displays the phase relationships between every single channel available in the surround format used and the LFE channel. In 7.1 Cinema surround mode the levels of the additional front channels are mixed with those of the front center channel. There is only one common front center indicator.
Identical signals in both channels have a correlation of +1; completely unrelated signals have a correlation of 0. Normal stereo mixes mostly show correlation values between 0.3 and 0.7. When both channels carry identical signals but one channel's polarity is switched (180° phase), the correlation will be -1.
