3.2 MAKING A LAYOUT
Layout Options
When creating a layout, there are a number of options in the ‘View’ and
‘Settings’ menus that make this task easier. These are:
• Displaying icon numbers
• Automatic numbering of icons
• Changing the icon size
• Displaying a layout grid in various sizes
• ‘Snapping’ icons to the grid
• Rotating icons
• Displaying a red background for active microphones
Microphone seat numbers
Synoptic Microphone Control uses seat numbers as specified in the installa-
tion file to identify microphone icons in a layout.
Displaying seat numbers - the seat number is displayed beneath a micro-
phone icon as default. If you wish to disable this option:
• Select the ‘View’ menu and click on ‘
√
Numbers’.
The tick mark (√) will subsequently disappear to indicate that this option is
disabled.
NOTE: Seat numbers are always assigned to microphone icons in your
synoptic layout if the ‘Auto Numbers’ option is active.
Automatic seat numbering - this option assigns sequential seat numbers to
microphone icons, starting with the lowest available seat number. To enable
this option:
• Select the ‘Settings’ menu and click on ‘Auto Numbers’.
A tick mark (√) will subsequently appear to indicate that this option is
enabled.
