How to Use the Menus and Panel Buttons
_______ Press any menu title button at any time to “escape” without making changes.
Use menu selections
with “soft” buttons.
Descriptive menu title
Because the buttons are
dynamically reassigned to
the title or option that
appears next to it, they are
called “soft” buttons.
Instruction message
appears here.
Use option selections
with “soft” buttons.
Figure 3-2. Using the bottom buttons with an FPC 1000 menu
Each option for the displayed menu aligns with one of the lower “soft” buttons.
The option is selected, or executed, by pressing that button. Thus the function of
each button is dynamically assigned to fit the screen display. Pressing one of
these buttons usually brings up a new screen, with a new instruction message
and a new set of functions for the lower buttons. Figure 3-2 shows an A/V Mute
menu as an example of how the lower buttons are used.
For this example, the bottom buttons have the following functions, left to right:
• the left button scrolls the output numbers to the left to change the selection.
• 2nd button mutes RGB video (Wideband systems only).
• 3rd button mutes Audio. (If no audio, this will not show.)
• 4th button is for Mute All (the entire system – audio and video outputs).
• 5th button is All Unmute (the entire system – audio and video outputs).
• the right button scrolls the output numbers to the right to change the selection.
The middle of the screen displays the selected output number to be muted or
unmuted, together with its given name. It is separated from the adjacent output
channels by vertical bars. Press either the lower-right or lower-left button (
)
or use the speed knob ( ) to change the selected output.
________ Wherever this symbol is displayed in a menu indicates that the “speed” knob on
the front panel may be used to change a value or selection.
For the example in Figure 3-2, output #01 shows Muted for both video (RGB)
and Audio. Press the RGB button to unmute video and the Audio button to
unmute audio for that output channel. Changes are saved and take effect
immediately.
