Octaire Control Panel Operation
45 Octaire Instruction Manual
Menus and Modes
The Function menu and its submenus access the modes and functions
used to control the system. The modes are Change, Virtual Matrix,
Status, Disconnect, Setup Options, Lock Panel, Adjust Audio, and
Global Preset. While in a mode, the same command can be repeated,
without having to return to the Function menu to reselect the mode e.g.,
when in Mute Mode you can select various outputs to mute and un-mute.
Use the Control Dial and Select Key to navigate the Function menu, and
submenus. The Function menu and the submenus are loop menus, which
means that each menu returns to the first item after you scroll past the
last item.
Note: A clear label with white lettering that shows the entire LCD
Function menu (as shown to the right) is included in the Control Panel
Label Kit shipped with the system. Dust surface of control panel near
the LCD with a dry cloth (if necessary, use a non-abrasive cleaner),
peel the backing off of the label, and firmly press it on the panel.
The Function menu (see right) and its submenus access the following
modes and functions:
Change
Selecting Change places the system in Change Mode. The Control Panel must be in Change Mode to
execute switches. While in Change Mode, select the Input and Output(s) Keys followed by the Take Key
to execute switches (see page 47).
Virtual Matrix
Selecting the Virtual Matrix Mode accesses the three routing levels (virtual matrices) supported by the
Octaire that route audio-follow-video signals (All), breakaway video signals (Video), and breakaway
audio signals (Audio). While in the Virtual Matrix Mode, the virtual matrix / routing level needed to
perform operations can be changed (see page 48).
Status
Selecting Status places the system in Status Mode. While in Status Mode, signal routing or routing to
multiple outputs can be confirmed without risk of accidentally executing a switch (see page 50).
Disconnect
Selecting Disconnect places the system in Disconnect Mode. While in Disconnect Mode, select the Input
or Output Key(s) followed by the Take Key to disconnect switches (see page 49). While in Disconnect
Mode, the Control Panel does not indicate the current routing of selected inputs or outputs.
Setup Options
Selecting Setup Options (see page 59) accesses the Setup Options submenu to check the Software
Version, change the Default virtual matrix, to enable VIS (Vertical Interval Sync), reload the
configuration file (when directed by technical support), and change the password.
Lock Panel
Selecting Lock Panel places the panel in Lock Mode at which time the password is entered to lock the
panel. Locking the Control Panel limits access which can prevent accidental switches (see page 57).
Adjust Audio
Selecting Adjust Audio accesses the Adjust Audio submenu. From this menu you can place the panel in
Output Volume Mode, Mute/Unmute Mode, or Input Gain Mode (see page 53).
Global Preset
Selecting Global Preset accesses the Global Preset submenu to Execute Global Presets or Define Global
Presets (see page 51).
