D-Command Channel Strips D-Command's channel strips allow operators control over processing and routing functions via the multi-purpose rotary encoders and touch-sensitive motorized fader located on each channel strip. These controls may be used to select plug-ins and adjust sends, panning, routing, mic preamps, and more. Each channel strip features two multi-purpose, touch-sensitive rotary encoders with 15-segment LED indicator rings and 6-character alphanumeric displays, a touch-sensitive motorized fader with +12 dB of gain above unity and a 6-character scribble strip, and attendant mode switches with LED status indicators. When an encoder or a fader is touched on D-Command, the display immediately shows the parameter's value. Once the encoder is released, the display reverts to showing the name of the parameter to which it is currently assigned. The Page Up and Page Dn buttons page the two encoders through more selections if available. All D-Command channel strips are capable of functioning independently. For example, one channel strip can be adjusting sends while the next is adjusting pan controls or mic preamp settings. These modes can be set on the fly either locally or globally. Channel Strip Master Section Located in the center of the D-Command Main Unit is the Channel Strip Master section. This section enables operators to affect how channel strips behave globally across the D-Command worksurface. Pushing any of the two Flip buttons moves their corresponding rotary encoder controls down to the fader section. Dedicated buttons control input/output assignments, automation modes, and more. Click to view Dedicated Control Panels In addition to providing control over parameters from the channel strips, D-Command also features a center section with dedicated EQ, dynamics, and monitor control panels, providing operators quick access to common session parameters. D-Command EQ Panel The D-Command EQ panel is populated with 12 shared rotary controls, an alphanumeric display, 5.1 wide streaming selection, and output metering. Dedicated Save, Save As, and Master Bypass switches are also included. D-Command Dynamics Panel The D-Command Dynamics panel features six shared rotary controls, an alphanumeric display, 5.1 wide streaming selection, and output and gain reduction metering. D-Control Dedicated Control Panels In addition to providing full parameter control from the channel strips, D-Control also features dedicated EQ, dynamics, monitor, and surround control panels. Ideally located in the center of the console, the panels allow operators quick and thorough access to common session parameters. D-Command Monitor Section The Monitor panel on the D-Command worksurface allows operators to control two 5.1 surround inputs, three stereo inputs, two cue sends, and more. Custom Faders In addition to its comfortable console layout and wide range of controls for quickly adjusting common session parameters, ICON offers extended functionality via the Custom Faders modes. This functionality empowers operators with an unprecedented level of control and ability to customize ICON to best suit their workflow. The Channel Strip Master section on both D-Control and D-Command also provides access to Custom Faders mode controls. Custom Faders mode allows operators to designate channel strips (in groups of eight on D-Control; in groups of four on D-Command) to serve as separate, custom-configured control sections for Master Faders, Pro Tools Mix and Edit groups, Custom Groups, and plug-in parameter editing. Through Custom Faders mode, the D-Control and D-Command worksurfaces are able to provide mixing flexibilities that extend beyond those of the Pro Tools software interface, offering more than simple "one-to-one" control of on-screen parameters found on other control surfaces. Using Custom Faders, operators can designate a section of D-Control or D-Command for specific tasks such as ordering a collection of tracks or assigning tracks for plug-in editing. In conjunction with ICON's complete recall capabilities, Custom Faders offer benefits that can profoundly affect workflow speed. Plug-in Mode In Plug-in mode, automatable control of the selected plug-in is placed on the touch-sensitive rotary encoders in the Custom Faders section. Switch parameters are indicated by the LEDs above all switches with active functions. Operators can then map control of any parameter from any encoder to any fader, enabling an unprecedented level of customization of plug-in control from motorized faders and touch-sensitive encoders. Creating and editing custom maps is as simple as selecting a fader and touching the encoder. Once a map for a plug-in has been created, it can be reused for all instances of that plug-in in the session - operators only have to create their favorite setup once. Every time a plug-in is inserted on different channels in a session, its custom map is ready to use. Operators can also import and export plug-in maps to use with different ICON systems. Custom Groups Mode Custom Groups mode allows operators to build custom track layouts on the worksurface - including duplicates of the same track - in any order to create a collection referred to as a Custom Group. Custom Groups enable operators to instantly bring a desired set of tracks onto the worksurface in the Custom Faders section; tracks might be hidden from Pro Tools yet available on the worksurface as part of Custom Groups. D-Control supports up to 48 Custom Groups while D-Command supports up to eight. Mix and Edit Groups and Master Fader Accessing Mix and Edit Groups and Master Faders on D-Control and D-Command is also a simple task. The operator can create custom views of the entire console by creating Edit groups that contain the desired components of a mix. The remaining components can then be hidden without hiding the tracks on the Pro Tools user interface. Likewise, Mix Groups can be created to control components in a ganged fashion. Flexible Design Thanks to its modularity and simple interconnection scheme, the physical components of ICON can be located remotely, close to their connected audio devices. With such flexibility, a live room/control room/machine room arrangement offers ideal isolation and short analog cable runs. To facilitate the transfer of data between I/O and DSP resources, Digidesign's proprietary DigiLink cables connect primary HD audio interfaces to one another as well as to the Pro Tools|HD and HD Accel PCI cards in the host computer. DigiLink cables enable both racked and remote placement of HD interfaces and/or the host system. The D-Control and D-Command worksurfaces can also be located remotely from the ICON system's DSP and I/O resources. Outboard analog or digital signal sources, including those from remote-controllable PREs, are connected via DigiSnake™ cables. DigiSnakes are available with a number of connection options including DB25, XLR, balanced (TRS) and unbalanced (TS) 1/4", and in lengths from 4 to 25 feet. Each is custom-colored and labeled, and features a lifetime warranty. Lastly, Digidesign's patent-pending Ethernet protocol is used to connect the host computer to the D-Control or D-Command tactile worksurface and any additional Fader Modules. This protocol provides 200x more bandwidth than MIDI-based controllers, enabling unparalleled console response time, super-accurate placement of automation data, and rich visual feedback. A single USB cable is also used to link D-Control's keyboard and trackball to the host computer. A single, proprietary 15-pin monitor cable connects the D-Control or D-Command tactile worksurface with the XMON monitoring breakout unit.

XMON Monitor System XMON is ICON’s remote, rack-mounted, analog monitor and communications system. With XMON and D-Control, operators can monitor separate, simultaneous 8-channel mixes (mono to 7.1 surround) as well as four external stereo sources. With XMON and D-Command, operators can monitor separate, simultaneous 6-channel mixes (mono to 5.1 surround) as well as three external stereo sources. External inputs are selectable to main, near-field, or mini speaker configurations. XMON also provides separate stereo Cue outputs, studio monitors (SLS), and a dedicated engineer’s headphone output. Features include: Separate 2U rack enclosure and single 15-pin cable connection enables remote positioning of XMON up to 80 feet away from D-Control or D-Command All XMON audio I/O connections made with standard DB25 multi-pin connectors Separate port supports External Talkback input, two Listenback inputs, AFL stereo solo Input, and Mini Speakers (stereo) AutoCue feature for automatic talkback/listenback while transport is parked
