View Elements & Configuration

On the <device>/TFT Views page, create or select any element and go to the Element Configuration tab. Here you can edit all properties of the selected element. Also multiple elements of the same type can be edited.

General Settings

The following settings appear on one or more TFT elements.

The Element Info area shows unique information about the element.

  • Type shows element type and ID. Syntax: <Type> (ID<X>).
  • Grid Info shows alignment and size of the element.

The Layout Settings area allows to set the X-, Y- and Z-Position, measured from top left corner and width and height valued. Changing Width will always add or subtract on the right side, changing height will add or subtract on the bottom.

  • Top allows to bring selected elements to the very top. Useful to sort overlapping elements.
  • Up brings selected elements one Z level towards the top.
  • Down brings selected elements one Z level towards bottom.
  • Bottom allows to bring selected elements to the very bottom. Useful to sort overlapping elements.

Tip
For most TFT elements, custom colors can be used and defined. Color schemes can also be applied. For global color settings, see Colors Page.

Visibility Condition

The option Visibility Condition allows you to hide elements if a logic is false/off and show them if the logic becomes true/on. If the visibility condition is false, the element will also not be touch sensitive or take any space. Also, the element can not serve as logic source if it is not visible.

Display Group Filter | minimum Toolbox version 9.1.2

Requires minimum Toolboix v9.1.2 / FW v9.1.4

With Enable Display Group Filter you can hide an element on some display groups while showing it on another. You can select a display group of a TFT in the Console tab. The Hide All/Show All buttons make selecting/deselecting all checkmarks easier.

The following display and operating elements are available for configuring TFT views.

Transparent

Transparent elements with different states

A Transparent is a transparent box that can contain a name/text. The color can change depending on a selected condition. If the selected condition becomes true, the defined color will be used. If the condition is false, the transparent will be transparent.

On Indication area:

  • Text: Enter the text you want the transparent to show. May also be left blank. Maximum of 125 characters (UTF-8) are possible. If you use other characters than ASCII, it may be less.
  • Select a logic condition: InCondition field, click select.

On Appearance area:

  • Select the color you want. You can define any color on Colors Page.
  • Instead of the background color, the font color can be defined (select the Use color for text check box).
  • The font size can be adjusted. See more Fonts.
  • With Vertical/Horizontal Text Position you can change the text alignment within the transparent.
  • Use Auto Scroll Text if text is longer than element width can display.

Note
Since Toolbox version 9.0.4 you can directly drag and drop a logic source from the Logic Sources tree into your view. Toolbox will create a transparent with the selected logic source assigned.

Example

By linking a transparent with a fader start logic function, the field shows whether the fader is open or not.

Note
There must always be a condition selected to display a color. (Not Assigned) means the transparent state is false. To have its state always true (color active), we recommend selecting Device Running as condition.


Button

Buttons with different functions, colors and sizes

Because all DHD TFT displays are touch sensitive, you can configure buttons that can be used like keys on a console. Instead of the font color, the background color can be defined (select the Use color for text check box). The font size can also be adjusted.

Tip
A button can have any key function. For a full list of all key functions, see Console.

Buttons can have a user defined function. That allows to trigger e.g. logic functions or to indicate different behaviours.

Buttons can be set to Momentary,Toggle or Timed Toggle:

  • Momentary buttons are active as long as you keep pushing them.
  • Toggle always engages the button.
  • Timed Toggle: When you tap the button short, the button engages. When you tap the button again short, it disengages. When you tap the button longer, it is only engaged as long as pressed.

User Defined Buttons can have up to 5 conditional colors and up to 10 conditional labels.

The Lamp Source or Condition Source can be any logic source available in logic tree. Condition priorities are sorted as in output functions. The highest priority has to be on top, the lowest on bottom of the list.

(not assigned) has no function and can never become true. You can have a default color if no condition is true: use Device Running as logic source and sort it to the bottom of your condition list. If no conditional label is true, the defined text value is displayed.

The button can only be used to display logic states. Activate Display Only to disable tapping the button. This also disables the shadow of the Button, it looks like a Label Element.

With Vertical/Horizontal Text Position you can change the text alignment within the button.

Auto Scroll Text scrolls the text if it is longer than element width can display.

Act on Hidden Layer is meant for key functions to work on channels in the non-active layer. Works only between layer A and layer B.

If you enable Hide when disabled, the button will only show if it has an operating function. For example if you have a key function for stereo channels (such as Mono -3dB, LL, RR etc.) assigned to a button on your fader views, the button will only appear on stereo channels, not on mono channels.


Analog Clock

Clock element with color Dark Blue

Analog clock is an analog and digital time display. The abbreviations of the weekdays shown by the clock element can be changed in Weekday abbreviations in View Clock Format area. A time offset of +/- 12 hours can be set in Time/Date Options Area.

Tip
If you do not have enough space on your TFT view for an analog clock element, you can use a label element to display current time.

Since Toolbox version 9.1.0 you can choose between different clock layouts, configure seperate colors for text and active/inactive dots and hide certain text elements (e.g. seconds, weekday name…)


PPM Mono/Stereo

PPM Mono/Stereo Element with correlation detect and different sources and German PPM scaling.

The PPM Mono/Stereo element is a level meter for mono and stereo signals and correlation level meter. The source of a PPM can be a level detect (See also Level Detection) or a defined Channel / Fader. It can also work on Access. The scale colour can be adapted.

If the width is bigger than the height, the element will be rotated 90 degrees automatically.

The PPM Element brings also a correlation detect, if activated. Correlation detect works only if a level detect is assigned.

Available scale types:

  • German PPM (-60 dB to +10 dB)
  • IEC IIa BBC PPM (1 to 7)
  • Nordic (-42 dB to +12 dB)
  • EBU-digital (-36 dB to 0 dB)
  • North American VU (-20 dB to +3 dB)
  • Digital 0…60 dB (-60 dB to 0 dB)
  • ARD (-60dB to +9dB)
  • Digital True Peak (-60dB to +3dB)

Above a certain value the bar graph changes its color from green to red. This threshold is adjustable between -30 dB and +30 dB (default = 0 dB).

An offset can be configured for the scale (-30 dB to +30 dB, default = 0 dB).

You can set the properties of the peak program meters of the TFT displays with the aid of Toolbox. In the project tree, select <Device>/<Mixer>/Logic/Level Detects and select the desired Level Detect. Please enter the following values to emulate an analog peak program meter with an integration time of 10 ms, according to the standards DIN 45406 and IEC 268-10 (PPM, Type I), respectively:

  • Attack = 2 ms
  • Release = 0.7 s

Please use the following values to emulate a digital peak program meter:

  • Attack = 0 ms (or 1 ms if integration time is required)
  • Release = 0.7 s

Note
For more Information on Level Detection, see Level Detects and Level Adjust pages.

Minimum Toolbox v9.1.4 & FW v9.1.8: The fader channel related meter source of the peak meter can be defined for each peak meter (Input, Pre Fader, Post Fader).
By using (Default) the peak meter will set the meter source that is globally defined by the Set Meter Source key function.


PPM 5.1 Channels

TFT Surround (5.1) PPM

The 5.1 PPM shows 5.1 signals as single meters for each channel in one graph. The 5.1 PPM can be applied to 5.1 channels with Multi Channel Source or to three stereo level detects.

Level detects order for 5.1 meters

The sources of the level detects are L/R, C/LFE and LS/RS. Please note, that the center and LFE signals are handled as a stereo pair internally. This way, the center and LFE levels can be shown with one PPM. The left signal is always center and the right signal is LFE.

The Level Detects must exist in the order L/R, C/LFE, Ls/Rs in a row on the <Device>/Logic/Level Detects page. Otherwise 5.1 PPM will use the wrong data sources.

In the Edit window you can just select the first data source (Level Detect L/R). The peak meter will then use automatically the following two stereo level detects.

Tip
See 5.1 Surround Configuration for more information.

Minimum Toolbox v9.1.4 & FW v9.1.8: The fader channel related meter source of the peak meter can be defined for each peak meter (Input, Pre Fader, Post Fader).
By using (Default) the peak meter will set the meter source that is globally defined by the Set Meter Source key function.


Loudness Meter

Loudness Meter Elements with different Scalings and Range settings

The Loudness Meter element provides a loudness meter for mono and stereo signals.

Available scale types:

  • EBU+18 LU
  • EBU+9 LU
  • EBU-5 LUFS
  • EBU-14 LUFS

Top Range can have values -30…30 LU.

The Loudness Meter element contains only the bar (incl. peak display and short value arrow)

  • short value is graphically shown as a small triangle on the left side
  • true peak display on top of the meter bar (oversampled x4, -1dBFS)
  • if required, Momentary, Short, Integrated, Loudnes Range values (M, S, I, LRA) can be added as extra Label Elements - size, label and colour can be customized
  • start, stop and reset are available as key function, gating (triggered by external sources) can be realised via virtual keys.
  • The Main Bar function can be configured as Momentary (standard value) or Short
  • The Triangle function can be configured as Short (standard value), Momentary or Off

Note
For more Information on Level Detection, see Level Detects and Level Adjust pages.

Important

  • The license 52-8581 Enhanced DSP Processing is necessary for all DSP cores.
  • 52/XS2 and 52/XS cores additionally require the license 52-1950 XS Core extended feature upgrade to be able to configure the function and the TFT views.

Needle Meter

Needle Meter

Scale Type can be configured to show BBC PPM, a classical Dual Needle PPM, or VU Meter.






Label Element

Different Label Element examples: showing a selector, without function, showing logged in user, colored text and clock

The Label Element can be used in various functions (preset is (None)). Either the font colour or the background colour can be defined (select the Use color for Background check box). The font size can also be adjusted. With Vertical/Horizontal Text Position you can change the text alignment within the label element. Use Auto Scroll Text if text is longer than element width can display.

Filter Element

With touch EQ functionality

Note
Touch EQ functionality is supported by the following TFT displays: 52-4010, 52-4510, 52-4018

It is also supported by TFTs built into the following devices: 52-1156, 52-1114 and by 52-8511 Views App Web (all versons) and Views App Windows V7.0.28 and newer.

Touch EQ overlay.

The Filter element is the container for the Touch EQ functionality. This function implements an overlay to edit filter curves in an easy and intuitive way by dragging.

Existing Filter elements will be automatically updated.

The Touch EQ overlay can be opened by double tapping on the filter element. On the upper left, the name of the selected channel is displayed. On the upper right, the on/off state of the DSP Functions is displayed and can be changed by tapping the icon. DSP Functions that can be edited in Touch EQ functionality are: SubSonic, EQ 1-4, VarFilter 1 (Filter 1 on device), VarFilter 2 (Filter 2 on device). See Channel Assignment / Fader Configuration for more information on configuring DSP Functions. If a DSP Function is not used in a channel in Toolbox, it will not be displayed. The EQ 1-4 Functions can be enabled globally on the EQ entry.

To select a DSP Function, tap the circle icon of the filter curve. In the upper left, all parameter values of the DSP Function are displayed. In the lower section, additional information and options are given.

  • Change the Frequency and Gain by dragging the circle within the grid.
  • Change the Quality / Q parameter by pinching with your fingers while holding the circle icon or by using the Q slider in the lower section
  • Change the Type setting by tapping the following icons on the lower section:
    • icon: High Pass (VarFilter)
    • icon: Low Pass (VarFilter)
    • icon: Band Pass (EQ 1-4)
    • icon: Notch (EQ 1-4)
    • icon: High Shelving (EQ 1-4)
    • icon: Low Shelving (EQ 1-4)
  • SubSonic / VarFilters: switch the DSP Function on/off by tapping the concurring icon in the upper / lower section or by double tapping the circle icon.
  • EQ 1-4: Globally switch all eq DSP Functions on/off by tapping the concurring icon in the upper section. Swicht every single EQ Band (1-4) on/off by double tapping the circle icon or by tapping the icon in the lower section.

Important
When using the Touch EQ functionality and enabling/disabling single EQ Bands, snapshots will be modified in a way that they are not downward compatible with older firmware versions without Touch EQ functionality. This can be important for users of snapshot manager software or firmware downgrades.

To close the Touch EQ overlay, tap the X button in the upper right corner or tap on a margin of the overlay.

Single DSP Functions (EQ 1-4, SubSonic, Filter 1, Filter 2) can be disabled by setting the element color to off. The function can still be controlled, it is only visually hidden on the specific filter element.

The whole Touch EQ functionality can be disabled when setting the grid color to Off.

The Filter element can be run in two display modes: Display Only or Default mode. In Default mode, the Touch EQ functionality will be applied to the element directly on the element, the overlay can also be opened on double tap. For smaller filter elements, this can be confusing. You can activate Display Only mode to hide the touch points on the preview element and still open the overlay on double tap. Check Display Only, if you want the element to behave this way.

The Overlay can be disabled to avoid accidental operation using the Enable Overlay Mode Checkbox. Uncheck Enable Overlay Mode to disable the overlay. This will not affect the Display Only mode settings. It can be useful for access pages when no overlay is required but touch functionality is useful.

Button List

Button List with channel snapshot management function

The Button List 2015 allows to display all selectable values for an action. A Button List can have a maximum of 250 pages.

The selectable functions are:

Note
The Button List can only display a maximum of 100 buttons per page.

Input Select

Select from all possible inputs in the same pool for a defined channel (on access or channel/fader). Input selection is directly active, no button list controls for loading/saving/renaming are needed. Only Prev. Page and Next Page controls are required.

The Input selection has an on air protection: if the Fader Start is on, the channel input can not be set. To ignore on air protection, activate Force option.

If an input is already in use, it will be marked and can not be used again. All inputs can only be active on one channel. To quickly change channel sorting, activate Reassign option. When you select a channel, it will now move to the new Fader. On the old position, a blank channel strip will be created.

Important
DHD does not recommend having empty channels on your console. If required, create channels without input patching on <Device>/<Mixer>/Fader Channels and use them on unused channel strips.

Renaming an input is done with key function TFT Functions/Show Keyboard and Function Edit channel label.

Monitor Select

Select from the options you defined in a selector. You need to create and select a Selector with a Selector Source List.

Allow Shift can be used in combination with key function Monitor Functions/Monitor Bus Shift. Set an offset there to shift up to another selector (See the selector IDs for correct value). The selector shifted to must have a Selector Source List.

To prevent the selector from being switched off, select Deny Switch OFF. This is useful when Allow Shift is used.

Load/Save Snap

Load a mixer snapshot. If a channel is selected or access pressed, a channel snapshot can be loaded.

Load/Save Fixed Processing

Load a Fixed Processing Snapshot.

Remote Functions

These functions will be used together with the DHDOM/DHDOS and need additional configuration in that software.

  • Load/Save Remote Snap: Load a server snapshot stored on operation server. Can be a channel or a mixer snapshot. See Operation Manager / Snapshot Manager documentation for more information on snapshot management.
  • Remote Routing: Perform a remote routing. See Operation Manager / Remote Routing documentation for more information. The Routing List Addr X is the list address you define in OM.

Routing Input

Select a Selector Source List as list for possible routing inputs. This function can be used in combination with the Routing output function on a key. It is useful if you have a bigger amount of routing inputs and don't want to add all with a separate key but use a button list to display all possible.

CF Out Select

Activates the output selector instead of the clean feed as outgoing signal if a fader channel with enabled clean feed is routed to the fader. (See Fader Channels – Configuring Signal Sources) This function works only if a Output Selector Source List was assigned to the clean feed under <Device>/<Mixer>/Mixing Functions. In the assigned Output Selector Source List, at least one signal must be listed


Button List 2015 Control

Set Acess ViewWhen checked, pressing the button will set access for the assigned Slot Nr. (channel)

Fader

Fader elements with different sizes and colors

Fader elements can be used to control assigned channels. They have the same properties as hardware faders. If a software and a hardware fader are assigned to a channel, the fader values will be synchronized. On Fader modules without motor faders, the displays will show arrows if the state is changed on the TFT Fader.

You can adjust the color of the fader. If the scaling is not visible, you must make the width of the fader element bigger.

The fader can be assigned on Faders/Layers, directly on channels or work with access.

This element can be useful for controlling bus volumes or volumes of channels where direct access is not necessary.

Option or subfunctionSelectionDescription
Color Choose the designated color of the fader knob
Double Tap KnobDisabledNo double tap functionality
Fader On/OffToggle between 0 dB and off position. If fader level is above fader start value, the fader will toggle to off position. If fader level is below fader start value, it will toggle to 0 dB.

with AccessFader will get and set the value of the channel currently selected. If no channel is selected fader will be without function.
ExtendedSoft PotsAssign fader to control a fixed Software Potentiometer. See Audio / Potentiometers.

Pot. Slider

The Pot. Slider element allows you to control or display various encoder / potentiometer states. The color can be changed.

  • Fine Control makes the scaling and control behaviour more precise, you can control now in 0.1 dB steps. Without this option, the control is set to 1 dB Steps.
  • Hide Label hides the label text, you entered in the Common/Text field.
  • Hide Value hides the value of the element.
  • Also you can decide between Slider and Knob layout.

You can control system potentiometers and software potentiometers. You can also control faders on layers.

You can only display channel fader values and hardware encoder / potentiometer values. Toolbox will notify you if your selected encoder / potentiometer is display only.

The Pot. Slider Element supports line breaks by using \ (backslash) in potentiometer names.


Picture

Sample Picture Elements

Picture elements can be any image file (file type PNG) matching system recommendations. To define pictures in your configuration, see Resource Files.

Make sure to have your pictures set on an accurate resolution when importing the resource files.

For placing pictures:

  • Drag a Picture Element from the View Options/Available Elements list to the view. The element will be empty.
  • Go to Element Configuration tab. On Appearance area, select the image needed image, defined in the resource files.
  • Check Maintain Aspect Ratio to maintain aspect ratio. When checked:
