User’s Guide
XY Mode — Hold Mode
 In hold mode, when the operator selects a destination, previously deselected 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’.
(In normal mode, any selected MD devices become unselected after the 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. All of them turn on (high-tally). 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, the MD devices remain selected after the take.)
Display Indexes
You can configure selection buttons on any of your button pages. During configuration, when
you assign a selection button, an additional drop-down menu appears: ‘Display Index’.
The drop-down menu for the button’s display index has as many entries as defined by the panel
option ‘MultiDest Device Limit’. If that limit is 64, then the list has 64 entries.
That number is an upper limit to the number of selection buttons on a page of the panel.
Usually a button page will have a small number of selection buttons, typically 8. We recommend
that each selection button have an index from 1 to the number of selection buttons on the
page.
It is possible for two or more selection buttons to have the same display index. The same infor-
mation would be displayed on on both.
Single-Destination Mode
Single-destination mode (a.k.a. “single-bus” or “button-per-source” mode) can be emulated in
either X-Y mode or MD mode.
Single-destination mode is not a distinct mode. It can be blended with either of the other two
modes. You can create many different forms of “single-destination” mode. This mode need not
have just one destination.
