Operation
Operating Concepts
Selection Buttons in X-Y Mode
When the panel is in X-Y mode, a selection button represents a virtual level. Pressing one or
more selection buttons selects (or deselects) the levels associated with the buttons.
 When all levels are selected, pressing a level button turns them all off except the one
pressed.
 If there are more levels than selection buttons, scrolling is enabled.
Deselecting virtual levels in X-Y mode prepares a breakaway take.
Hold mode preserves the level selection after a take. See Hold .
Selection Buttons in MD Mode
When the panel is in MD mode, a selection button represents an MD device. If there are more
devices than selection buttons, scrolling is enabled. Pressing a selection button selects the MD
device.
 Certain MD destinations might be unassigned. They appear blank in the display and the
corresponding buttons are also blank.
When your panel is in hold mode, you can select more than one destination at one time. If your
panel is not in hold mode, MD destinations are mutually exclusive: you can select only one at a
time.
If you have enabled ‘Hold’ mode,
1 Select one or more MD devices. Scroll the MD devices as needed.
2 Select a source.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until your presets are complete.
4 Press ‘Take’. The selected MD devices remain selected.
If you have not enabled ‘Hold’ mode,
1 Select an MD device. Scroll the MD device display as needed.
2 Select a source.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until your presets for the take are complete.
4 Press ‘Take’. The selected MD devices become unselected.
Adding or Redefining MD Devices
The configurer might have allowed you to redefine certain MD destinations. To do so is simple:
(1) select an MD destination on a selection button, (2) choose a destination that is not on a
selection button. You might have to navigate or scroll through a destination list to choose one.
Source
A source button selects a source. (Note that a quick source button selects a source and also
performs an immediate take.)
Quick source and source buttons are similar, except that the quick source performs a take. Be
aware of which buttons are quick sources so you do not perform an accidental take.
Normally, the button text is the source device’s mnemonic, but the configurer can assign any
text to the button.
See Preset Release on page 67 and Destination on page 61.
