SECTION 22.3
PRIMARY COMMAND GROUP
We saw earlier that the second column of buttons in each stripe provides
access to important control operations and options.
The Command group in the first stripe (nearest the operator) has some unique
features that actually govern other sections of the overall control surface.
We’ll refer to this as the primary Command group . Among these special
controls are several that we can describe as ‘delegate’ buttons.
For example, consider the four buttons labeled KEY in the top row of this
group.
22.3.1
KEY
Pressing one of these buttons, labeled 1- 4, ‘delegates’ or assigns the buttons in the 24 -button KEY selection
row at left in the same stripe to govern the active source assigned to one or more KEY (or DSK) layers.
Hint: Delegate buttons usually, though not always, support multi-selection.
22.3.2 DLGT STRIPE
The remaining button on the topmost row of the primary Command group is labeled DLGT STRIPE , which is
an abbreviation of ‘delegate stripe’.
When you press and hold DLGT STRIPE , the LCD displays in each stripe update to show the names of the
available switcher busses ( MAIN, M/E 1, 2, etc.) and MIX 1-4. In this state, press one or more buttons in the
PGM/A row beneath and release the DLGT STRIPE button to assign the stripe to the designated bus or busses.
Hint: The QuickSelect button (marked with an 'eye' icon to associate it with visibility) is located in between
BKGD and FTB. Clicking it updates the Switcher's T-Bar delegate and transition states so that the next TAKE
or AUTO operation will remove all visible DSK or KEY layers from output. (On supporting control surfaces,
press ALT & BKGD to trigger the QuickSelect feature.
