Configuration
Multi-Destination Configuration
If there are more destinations than selection buttons, the operator can scroll through the desti-
nations using ‘Page Up’ and ‘Page Down’ buttons.
 Note that the maximum number of MD destinations is configured in multiples 8, from 8 to
512. Not all of those need be defined.
Selection
XY Mode — Normal
When the operator selects a destination, all selection buttons that have levels defined for the
current destination turn on (high-tally). The operator may select or deselect any levels as
required, by pressing selection buttons and perhaps scrolling the display.
 Note that if the operator selects a level when all levels are on, all the other levels become
unselected (low-tally).
Selecting a new destination again turns on all selection buttons that have levels defined.
XY Mode — Hold Mode
In hold mode, when the operator selects a destination, previously selected levels (defined for
the destination) remain selected for additional takes and previously unselected levels remain
deselected. (Individual levels turn on or off as the user selects them.)
MD Mode — Normal
When the user selects an MD device, all selection buttons are mutually exclusive: when the
operator presses one button, any others that were selected turn off. To perform MD takes, the
operator alternately selects an MD device and then a source until all intended devices have
been preset. Then the operator presses ‘Take’.
MD Mode — Hold Mode
In hold mode, selection buttons are not mutually exclusive. To perform MD takes, the operator
selects one or more MD devices. The operator then selects a source (which becomes preset for
all the selected devices).
The operator can preset another source to another set of destinations by deselecting selected
destinations, selecting other destinations, and selecting another source.
When all intended destinations are preset, the operator then presses ‘Take’.
(In hold mode, selected MD devices remain selected after the take. In non-hold mode, any
selected MD devices become unselected after the take.)
Multi-Destination Configuration
Multi-destination (MD) devices are a subset of all destination devices that the operator may use
in the ways supported by MD mode. You can configure a panel to have from 8 to 512 MD desti-
nations in increments of 8 destinations. Not all of those need be used. Those that are not used
are considered “undefined.”
 It is possible to have duplicate entries in the MD destination set. For example, it might be
useful to have one or two MD destinations available at all times.
