Functional Sections of the Panel

7 Preview/user buttons

This row of buttons is a set of “preview” buttons when the panel is controlling an MCE or
MCPM and it is a set of customer-definable buttons when the panel is controlling an Imagestore
750. (Among the customer-definable buttons can be “menu” buttons.)

8 Program buttons

The 16 program buttons include main source buttons and “layer” buttons. The layer buttons can
be configured as video effects or voice-overs. The number of main sources, video effects, and
voice-overs varies according to the panel configuration.
Whatever main source, video effects, and voice-overs are selected on the program buttons form
the program output of the Imagestore 750 that is currently controlled by the iMC-Panel-100.

9 Preset buttons

The preset buttons allows you to set up the state of the program output that will exist after the
next transition.
The preset buttons include main source buttons and “layer” buttons. In fact, the preset bus and
program bus have the same button functions. The function assigned to a program button is also
assigned to the preset button directly beneath it.
Whatever main source, video effects, and voice-overs are selected on the preset bus form the
preview output of the Imagestore 750 that is currently controlled by the iMC-Panel-100.

10 Audio level knobs

The panel has 3 rotary knobs in this section, labeled:

• Program Out

This knob controls either the program output level as a whole or (when a voice-over is
active on the program bus) the voice-over level.

• Preset In

This knob controls the preset input level (as a whole).

• Over Ratio / Duck Level

When the panel is controlling an Imagestore 750, this knob controls the audio level of the
main source when a voice-over is mixed with program output. (That is called the “duck
level.” The term “over ratio” applies only to MCEs and MCPMs.)
