Definable Button Functions

These are the button colors:

• High-tally green. The program output is fading or has faded to black.
• Low-tally green. The program output is fading or has faded back to normal.

Fade to Silence

A ‘Fade To Silence’ (FTS) button is a toggle. Press it once to fade the program output of the cur-
rently selected Imagestore 750 to silence. Press it again to fade the program output up from silence.
When the program output is silent, fading to it, or fading up from it, the FTS button of the main
menu is red.

Fades occur at the FTS rate defined in the Imagestore 750 configuration. The FTS rate is fixed in
the Imagestore 750 configuration.

These are the button colors:

• High-tally green. The program output is fading or has faded.
• Low-tally green. The program output is normal.

Group Select

The Imagestore 750 allows different source groups to be defined, where the sources in a group can
be mapped to the main source buttons of the panel.
A ‘Group Select’ button selects a source group. When the group is selected, its source mnemonics
appear on the main source buttons and (if your system is so configured) the sources in the group
appear on monitors in a monitor wall.

When you hold the button down, an automated transition is suspended. When you release the but-
ton, the transition continues. This is special-purpose button that lets you synchronize a transition
with a video feed that might be delayed unpredictably.

The button is low-tally green normally and high-tally amber when you press it.

Audio Lock

An ‘Audio Lock’ button is a toggle that enables or disables the 3 audio level knobs on the iMC-
Panel-100. (This feature helps prevent accidental changes to the audio levels)

The button is amber when the audio level knobs are locked.

Macro Arm

A ‘Macro Arm’ button selects an Imagestore 750 macro that will execute at the next transition.

S

Certain macros can contain functions that must not execute during a transition. Such macros
will execute immediately after the transition completes.

Fire Macro

A ‘Fire Macro’ button executes an Imagestore 750 macro immediately.

PGM DVE Enable

A ‘PGM DVE Enable’ button enables or disables the use of DVE buttons on the program button
row.
