Purpose
Select a purpose from the drop-down menu. The possible selections are:
• Operator - The operator can assign any available router source to the
selected button.
• Fixed Assignment - The source that is shown in the Default Source
column will be permanently assigned to the background button when
this option is selected. Buttons with fixed assignments cannot be reas-
signed using the control panel. Fixed assignments can only be changed
by modifying the Button Definition set.
• EAS Fixed Assignment - Buttons with the EAS fixed assignment cannot
be affected by either automation control or by the operator.
• Automation - Button positions can be reserved for systems under auto-
mation control. The number of buttons that are associated with Auto-
mation is installation dependent. These buttons are based upon the
number of audio groups and whether or not breakaways are performed
by automation. If no Automation associated buttons are specified, the
automation system will be able to assign sources to any of the “Oper-
ator” positions as needed. Buttons that are assigned to Automation
cannot be assigned using the control panel. This process is described in
more detail in the
Automation Button Assignments section below.
Default Source
Select the default input name when a default source assignment is desired
for this button.
Note A default assignment displays the default source name on system startup or
after non-volatile RAM has been cleared. However, this source assignment
can be changed at any time unless it is a fixed assignment.
Automation Button Assignments
In a system under automation control, any of the 16 background button
positions may be designated for automation use. One of these buttons will
be selected on PGM for each defined Video/Audio group. One will be
selected on PST for each defined Video/Audio group. Since these buses
can’t be disturbed when assigning/selecting a new source, a button must
be available at all times. Any of the Button Definition may be assigned for
automation use.
By selecting “Automation” as the purpose of the button positions, automa-
tion activity will be constrained to the defined buttons. These buttons
cannot be reassigned using the control panel.
