Displays
When a device is placed in mirror mode, monitor 1 on the mirroring device matches external
monitor 1 on the host, and monitor 2 matches external monitor 2 on the host. A client will mirror as
many monitors as it has available.
All formats used on the host device are shown on the mirroring device including flexichannel states,
column widths, chosen parameters, and pages.
The CIA will open on monitor 1. The CIA on the device in mirror mode can be locked open or
closed. When left unlocked, the CIA will expand and close as normal. Not all CIA displays shown on
the device in mirror mode. The following CIA displays are synchronized:
• About
• Effects
• Effects Status
• Color Picker
• Curves
• Undo
The CIA can be completely hidden when locked by pressing the [Displays] key. Pressing
[Displays] again will display and unlock the CIA.
Exiting Mirror Mode
Exiting mirror mode can be done by selecting {Stop Mirroring} in the mirror display or using the
keyboard shortcut ALT + X. When exiting mirror mode, the device will return to its normal, working
state.
Shutdown/Start Up in Mirror Mode
When a device is shut down in mirror mode, it will restart in mirror mode mirroring the same host as
before. If the host has changed settings, mirror mode will need to be reselected on startup.
Macros
Macros can be created to configure a device for mirror mode and to exit the mode. The RPU/RVI
face panel configuration utility allows the face panel buttons to be populated with these macros.

selection set and have those values be evenly spaced. Fan is applied by channel selection or group
order. By default, fan operation is from the start channel.

selection, the softkeys will repaint to the following fan styles:
• {Center} - The middle channel in the order is set as the start and will remain unchanged, and
the first and last channels will change in different directions. The level wheel will decrease the
lower number channels and increase the higher number channels. {Center} only affects the
level wheel.
• {Reverse} - The selected channel order is reversed before applying the fan.
• {Mirror} - The middle channel in the selected order is used as the starting channel and the first
