Control Buttons
d Control selection buttons — These four buttons give direct access to the enter
(save), preset, view, and Esc (exit) controls. Each button has a separate function.
NOTES:
• See Configuring the Rear Panel RS232/RS422 Port on page 26 for serial
port configuration details.
• See Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes) on page 25 for
executive modes details.
Enter button — The Enter button flashes green when a change to an input or output
tie is pending, or red when a preset recall is pending. Pressing the flashing button saves
the change or recalls the preset, and the Enter button and any lit input and output
buttons extinguish (see
Front Panel Operation on page 16).
Preset button — The Preset button gives access to recall or save up to 32 global
presets (using I/O buttons 1 through 16), and 10 plane presets (using input buttons 1
through 10). The button lights red when pressed. Upon recalling or saving the preset,
the button and all input and output buttons (lit red) are extinguished (see
Front Panel
Operation on page 16 and Saving and Recalling I/O Presets on page 22).
NOTE: Global presets save and recall the configuration for all planes. Plane presets
save and recall the configurations for a specific plane without affecting the other
plane connections.
View ( < ) button — This button, when pressed and released, lights red and allows
quick viewing of existing input and output ties. When the button is lit, after selecting
a plane and an associated input, muted outputs flash and untied outputs light the
appropriate signal color (red, green, or amber). Tied outputs remain unlit.
NOTE: Use this button to decrease settings for RGB delay, input audio level, and
output audio volume. This button also mutes and unmutes outputs (see Muting or
Unmuting a Video, Audio, or Video and Audio Output on page 20).
Esc ( > ) button — This button, when pressed, flashes green once and all lit control,
plane, input, and output buttons are extinguished.
NOTE: Use this button to increase the RGB delay, input audio level, and output
audio volume.
Also, when used in combination, the buttons have the following functions:
