Example Panel Console
There are six groups of controls on the panel console; these are Salvos, Levels, Sources, Macros,
Actions and Destinations. The discussion below provides an introduction to each of these control
groups.
Salvos
Salvos are take macros that reside in switching routers. Salvos consist of one or more take operations
that are performed as a single operation. The advantage of salvos is that once activated, all takes that
comprise the salvo happen at the highest possible performance inside a router.
Levels
The Levels group shows the level controls enabled for the console. The levels controls available on a
given console may be either all or a subset of levels physically configured on a router. These controls
are used to effect break-away switching as well as provide a reference for matrix status display .
Sources
The Sources group shows a collection of content source controls that are available on the console.
These controls are used for showing status as well as content source selection for takes .
Macros
The
Macros group shows a list of macro activator (fire) buttons available on a panel console. Macros
reside in the TyLinx Pro application and provide a higher level of operational control when compared
to salvos but lack salvo performance. Where salvos operate within the context of an individual router,
macros can cross router boundaries and, in effect, perform complex switching actions that involve
more than one router. Individual macro functions consist of takes, delays, and salvo fire operations.
