Operation
Operating Concepts
All Source
The button selects a source. The source name appears in the ‘Status’ display. Pressing a source
button completes a take unless the panel is in source preview mode. In source preview mode,
pressing a ‘Take’ button is required for the completion of a take.
The nature of source buttons differs according to the panel’s configured operating mode:
• Single-destination, single-destination with breakaway, and limited X-Y modes
A source button can select one of two sources. The first source belongs to source “page” 1
and the second source belongs to source “page” 2. Pressing a ‘Source Shift’ button toggles
the panel between source page 1 and page 2.
• Multi-destination mode
A source button can select one of two sources, as in the other modes, and it selects a desti-
nation.
Typically several source buttons (in MD mode) will share the same destination. Other groups
of source buttons will also share their own common destination.
The destination for a source button does not change under a source shift.
See Multi-Destination Operations on page 44.
All Source is Master
Means “source is the master” and makes the source device the master. Otherwise, the destina-
tion is the master. This button (and these concepts) apply only to machine control routes.
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).
The ‘Source is Master’ button is also used to initiate “broadcast” machine control routes. See
Broadcast Routes on page 45.
During data level (i.e., machine control) takes, this button makes the source device the master.
Otherwise, the destination is the master.
The button is a toggle that reverses the direction of data routing. For example, if the destination
is the master and the source is the slave, pressing a ‘Source is Master’ button reverses their roles.
Pressing the button again reverses the roles.
The ‘Source is Master’ button is used to initiate “broadcast” control routes. See Broadcast Routes
on page 45.
The panel can be configured so that “source is master” is the default state or so that “destination
is master” is the default. The button still toggles between “source is master” and “destination is
master.”
 Pressing the ‘Source is Master’ button turns off the ‘Broadcast’ button and vice versa.
All Source Preview
This button enables or disables source preview mode. In source preview mode, the panel
displays the names of a selected source in the ‘Preview’ column of the display. It is then neces-
sary to press a ‘Take’ button to complete a take. When source preview mode is off, pressing a
source button completes a take.
Source preview mode allows you to be sure of the source you select before the actual take.
