    2. Turn off the system (set everything back to start and turn off the projector)
    3. Turn off the projector (everything stays were it is, except the projector turns off - useful if you are reviewing audio or practicing to tracks but have no video, or just dont appreciate the bright spot from up above the mezzanine).

Media Control Panels

There are (3) media control touchpanels:

  1. One is on the stage podium
  2. One is in 212A on the rack
  3. The last is removable, and can be used in the Mezzanine, or stored in 212A on the rack shelf so wayward curiosity or trickster fingers don't lose a battle to temptation during a performance or presentation
