Newton Control Panels
NewtonPC Software Control Panel
The NewtonPC software control panel ( Figure 2 ) offers similar function-
ality to the rack mount control panel in a Windows-based PC software
panel application. Any PC on the network running the Newton software
panel application can configure and adjust processing channels.
Note The software panel in Figure 2 is shown with the router interface option
enabled with a valid connection.

Router Interface Option
Both the rack mount and software control panels can operate with the
optional Router interface (NEWT-ROUTE). This option provides an inter-
face to Grass Valley routers (see
Router Interface Requirements on page 24 )
for modular source chain control where the Newton Control Panel will
follow the router source selection on a monitored destination and simple
direct X-Y router control (change source and destination for all-level takes).
The Route and Monitor buttons and the Router LED become active on both
panels when this option is enabled and a valid router connection is estab-
lished. Soft keys can be configured to take router sources and to select
named router destinations.
