Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 363)

Configuring an iTX Desktop to accept commands from a keyboard or hard panel
• Operate a control on the hard panel. The Selected Device box shows the hard panel as
the device type; the Selected Input box shows the control name.
• Click Select Input to display the Select Input dialog. This shows the layout of controls on
an installed hard panel.
Device selection buttons, in the top left of the dialog, enable you to switch between the
hard-panel layout and an on-screen keyboard.
Operate a control on the hard panel; or press a key (or key combination) on either your
workstation keyboard or the on-screen keyboard. Click OK to close the Select Input
dialog.
The Selected Device box in the Assign Input dialog shows the device type; the Selected
Input box shows the control name or keyboard shortcut.
6. Click Assign.
The Assign Input dialog closes.
7. Do one of the following to save the mapping.
• Click Save to save the mapping as the personal configuration of the current user – the
mapping is not available to other users who log onto the layout.
A confirmation dialog opens; click OK to close this, together with the Input/Output
Mapping dialog.
• Click Save as 'Default' to save the mapping as the default configuration for the layout –
the mapping is then available to all users who do not have their own personal settings.
A confirmation dialog opens; click OK to close this, together with the Input/Output
Mapping dialog.
8. Ensure iTX performs the required action for the mapped hard-panel control or keyboard
shortcut.
Note:
• To change a mapping, you need to delete it and assign a new control to the macro.
(See below, "Delete the mapping for an iTX Desktop macro".)
• After you assign a control to run a macro, Edit assigned Input data appears in the
displayed menu when you right-click the macro. You do not use this option; there is no
input data for an iTX Desktop macro.
Delete the mapping for an iTX Desktop macro
1. On the iTX Desktop, click a layout selection button to display a layout.
2. Right-click the title bar (or a clear area of the layout) to display the iTX Desktop menu;
select Manage Layout Input mappings.
The Input/Output Mappings dialog appears.
3. Right-click an input mapping; select Delete assigned Input from the displayed menu.
iTX prompts you to confirm you want to delete the mapping.
4. Click Yes.
5. On the Input/Output Mappings dialog, click Save.
The iTX Desktop displays a dialog when the process is complete. Click OK to close the
dialog.
