Panel Summary
The iMC-Panel-100’s separate display unit provide a set of menus and “soft” function buttons in
which you can do the following:
• Select a channel (i.e., Imagestore 750, MCE, or MCPM).
• Select a main source or an over source.
• Choose a router source.
• Select a video effect and alter its settings.
• Manipulate audio.
• Change transition rates.
• Perform panel maintenance and updates.
• View status and error messages.
Some menus have a scrollbar with which to select items. You can use an on-screen “slider” to
adjust parameter values or you can enter a value using a touchscreen keypad. In many cases, you
can use the ‘Scroll/Set’ knob of the button panel to adjust parameter values.
The recommended display unit is a touchscreen: you press or touch buttons on the screen itself to
perform menu selections.
S Your panel will operate with a non-touchscreen display. In that case, you’ll use a mouse. (There
is no need for a keyboard).
Panel Buttons
Buttons appear in several colors and 3 brightness levels: off, low-tally, and high-tally.
Buttons allow you to choose sources and video effects and to make menu selections. Some buttons
display status. Pressing a button usually selects something. However, nothing happens when you
push a button that is disabled or off and nothing happens when you push a button that merely dis-
plays status.
The buttons on the panel display the following colors:
In addition to these 12 colors, a button can be dark (that is, off, or having no color). High red and
high amber usually indicate warnings.
The following color scheme usually applies. Exceptions will be noted.
• Non-selected state: low tally — green, blue, violet, orange, or white.
• Selected state: high tally — green, blue, violet, orange, or red, or aqua.
Some buttons are toggles. Pressing a deselected toggle button will cause it to become selected.
Pressing a selected toggle button will make it deselected.
Some groups of buttons operate as a mutually exclusive set. Pressing a deselected button will cause
it to become selected and all other buttons in the set to become deselected. There are two types of
mutually exclusive buttons:
1 Pressing a selected button makes it deselected. (All other buttons in the set remain deselected.)
2 Pressing a selected button has no effect: the button remains selected.
