Device, method and computer program for displaying signal information
First Claim
1. A signal information display device for use in an apparatus having a plurality of signal processing channels each for processing signals, said display device comprising:
- a plurality of indicator units respectively provided in association with said signal processing channels;
a plurality of control elements respectively provided in association with said signal processing channels; and
a display control device which controls said indicator units, in a first display mode, to display a simple indication of information about each associated signal processing channel using each of said indicator units, and, in a second display mode, to display a complex indication of information about a signal processing channel which is designated by the control element associated with said signal processing channel according to a predetermined particular operation of said control element, said complex indication being an indication using said plurality of indicator units.

Abstract
A mixing console has, for example, eight signal processing channels each for processing audio signals, and indicator units respectively for the signal processing channels. Each indicator unit is to display the channel number or the note name or another short message about the channel. Each channel is provided with a control element for commanding a control such as setting equalizer parameters. When a control element is actuated and held for more than one second, for example, such an actuation causes the designation of a channel about which a long message is displayed by using the indicator units for the eight channels in series.

4. A method for displaying signal information on an apparatus having a plurality of signal processing channels each for processing signals, a plurality of indicator units respectively provided in association with said signal processing channel, and a plurality of control elements respectively provided in association with said signal processing channel, said method comprising:
-
a step of controlling said indicator units, in a first display mode, to display a simple indication of information about each associated signal processing channel using each of said indicator units;
a step of designating one of said signal processing channels by operating said control element associated with said one signal processing channel in a predetermined particular manner; and
a step of controlling said indicator units, in a second display mode, to display a complex indication of information about said designated one signal processing channel using said plurality of indicator units. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
