Panel Lock

The panel lock button prevents you (or someone else) from accidentally making changes to the
Imagestore 750 while allowing you see the status of the Imagestore 750.

A panel lock button is a toggle. Press it once to lock the panel. Press it again to unlock the panel.

When the panel is locked:

The panel lock button is high-tally red.

All other buttons on the panel are disabled (locked) but their colors and legends remain
unchanged.

When the panel is locked and you press the panel lock button, the panel will become unlocked
and the panel will function normally.

Automation Off

The ‘Automation Off’ button is a toggle that enables or disables control of the currently selected
Imagestore 750 by an automation system. When this button is high-tally red, the currently
selected Imagestore 750 ignores commands from the automation system (if there is one). When
this button is low-tally green, the Imagestore 750 communicates with the automation system
normally.

If the currently selected Imagestore 750 does not allow you to turn automation off and on, the
button is disabled (dark).

Fade to Black

A ‘Fade To Black’ (FTB) button is a toggle. Press it once to fade the program output of the
currently selected Imagestore 750 to both black and silence. Press it again to fade the program
output up from black and silence.

When the program output is in black/silence, fading to it, or fading up from it, the FTB and FTS
buttons of the main menu are red.

Fades occur at the FTB (and FTS) rate defined in the Imagestore 750 configuration. The FTB rate
is fixed in the Imagestore 750 configuration.

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
currently selected Imagestore 750 to silence. Press it again to fade the program output up from
silence.
