3. Control Panel
Functional Sections of the Panel
Your iMC-Panel-100 might be configured with one or more “group select” button. If it has group
select button(s), you can switch between several groups of sources. When you switch groups, the
source mnemonics of the selected group appear on the physical buttons.
In any case, up to 16 source buttons are available, using one group or another. Usually an iMC-
Panel-100 will have fewer than 16 source buttons.
Source buttons are mutually exclusive. Pressing one selects that source and deselects an other
source. Video effects and voice-overs are independent and not mutually exclusive.
Aux/User and Preview/User Buttons
The aux/user buttons and the preview/user buttons are on the display unit:
When the panel is controlling an Imagestore 750, all the buttons in the ‘Preview/User’ row are cus-
tomer-definable. There are several dozen configurable button types among which are menu buttons.
The aux/user buttons, on the display unit, are divided into two parts:
1 Source buttons.
The leftmost buttons if the aux/user row represent sources only. They are the same sources as on
the preview, program, and preset buttons.
Source buttons are usually green, high-tally when selected and low-tally when not. If a main
source has a problem (e.g., LOS or non-sync), it is high-tally amber when unselected and red
when selected. Unused main sources are dark.
S If the Imagestore 750 under control does not support an auxiliary device, all source buttons
of the aux/user row are disabled (dark).
S Imagestore 750s have an “aux bus follow” option. Depending on how this option is set,
your aux buttons might follow the program or preset bus or might remain independent.
When they follow the program bus, whatever source becomes selected on the program bus
is also selected on the aux bus. When they follow the preset bus, whatever source becomes
selected on the preset bus is also selected on the aux bus.
In any case, it is always possible to use the aux buttons, normally, regardless of what was
selected on the preset or program bus.
2 “Customer-definable buttons.
The rightmost buttons of the aux/user row, if not committed to sources, are customer-definable
buttons. If your aux/user row has few source buttons and few customer-definable buttons, the
intervening buttons will be unused (and dark).
