Control Panel
Functional Sections of the Panel
For the DSK-3901, the layer section provides up to 2 DSKs, 8 XG layers, and 2 voice-overs
(voice-overs). (The DSK-3901 does not support EasyPlay audio.)
Sixteen main sources buttons and 18 “layer” buttons obviously do not fit in a button row.
The panel’s configurer will have made trade-offs in this regard.
Source buttons and layer buttons together forming 2 processing sequences:
Program Selections on the program buttons compose the program output of the currently
selected Imagestore 750.
Preset Selections on the preset buttons preview the content of the program bus as it will
appear after the next transition.
S The preset buttons can be configured to tally according to the “PresStation” model or the
traditional model.
The preset bus (and its output) allow you to set up new output for the program bus. When the
new output is ready, you press the transition button and the Imagestore 750 transitions the
contents of the preset bus to the program bus.
S The preset and program buses behave differently under different transition options. For
example, the preset buttons can be configured to tally according to the “PresStation” model
or the traditional model. See
Transition Options on page 119.
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, on
the display unit, are customer-definable. There are several dozen configurable button types
among which are menu buttons.
The aux/user buttons, also 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.
