MPK Devices Table Entries
— In the panel−per−machine arrangement, the table is used to assign each MC 3020D to a specific machine. This
is done by assigning a unique “CP Output Set” to each panel, where each “Output Set” shows only the name of
a single machine. Each Output Set is of the type “MC 3020D.”
— In the central control location arrangement, only the name of the single MC 3020D would be entered along
with the name of a “CP Output Set” that is actually a list of the machines assigned to the CP 3020 Expansion
Panel(s). (Installation of the central control scheme was described on page 2−76.)
It is not necessary to indicate on the MPK Devices table whether or not the MC 3020D is being operated with an expansion
panel (a CP 3021, as used in the central control scheme).
Machine Control Devices Table Entries
The Machine Control menu (Figure 5−142 on page 5−162) must be used to assign each switcher or machine control panel to
one of the groups. The source of these names is the Delegation Group menu.
Important: The delegation system requires all control panels to be assigned to a group. Any control panel not
assigned to a group will continue to have access to all machines, even if those machines have been assigned to a
group.
Example of Operation
In Figure 5−139, if the VTR operator pressed the “MCS” button on the MC 3020D Machine Delegate panel next to VTR
“VT01,” then the MCS 2000 Master Control panel would be allowed to control VT01. The VTR would still have to be selected
as a source for the MCS 2000 in the usual manner, but no other panel would be allowed to take control.
