Configuration
Button Definitions
Source A source button selects a source. (Note that a quick source button selects a
source and also performs an immediate take.)
When you assign a source button, a drop-down menu appears: ‘Source Device’.
Choose a device from the list.
The ‘None’ entry is merely a placeholder. Do not choose ‘None’.
Source
Master Means “source is the master” and makes the source device the master. Other-
wise, the destination is the master.
The button is a toggle: Press it once to make the source the master (it goes high-
tally); press it again to make the destination the master (the button is low-tally).
A panel option allows you to make “source is master” the default. In this case, the
button still toggles between “source is master” and “destination is master,” and
the button, if present, is high-tally by default.
The ‘Source is Master’ button is also used to initiate “broadcast” control routes.
See
Broadcast Routes on page 49.
Source/
Mode Places the panel in source mode. In source mode, category buttons that do not
represent source become momentarily disabled (dark) and the remaining
enabled category buttons select source.
Note that the function of ‘Lock’ and ‘Protect’ buttons depend on whether the
panel is in destination mode or source mode.
Src/Dst
Mode Toggles the panel between source mode and destination mode.
Note that the function of ‘Lock’ and ‘Protect’ buttons depend on whether the
panel is in destination mode or source mode.
Take In X-Y mode, a take button switches the preset source device to the selected
destination device on selected levels.
In MD mode, a take button switches the preset source device(s) to the selected
destination device(s) on all levels.
In most cases, configurers should provide the operator a ‘Take’ button.
Undefined Makes the button undefined and inactive. On the actual panel, it will remain
unlit (dark).
Virtual Level

at the highest level of grouping (with the least detail). The button affects only
virtual levels that have been grouped. See
Level Grouping on page 37.
The button has no effect in multi-destination mode.
This button has no configuration options.
Virtual Level
Expander In X-Y mode, this button causes the alphanumeric display to show virtual levels
at the lowest level of grouping (with the most detail). The button affects only
virtual levels that have been grouped. See
Level Grouping on page 37.

This button has no configuration options.
XY/MD
Mode Switches the panel between X-Y mode and multi-destination mode.
The button is always green for XY mode and amber for multi-destination mode.
