Keycap Legend Generation
1. If necessary, use the Encore Panel Server to create a configuration for
the hardware Control Panel that includes the desired dedicated
Sources, Destinations, and button functions.
2. Rename the Default template for that panel type to create a copy, using
a descriptive name (e.g., XYLgnd) to create a working legend template.
3. Copy the hardware Control Panel configuration from Step 1 above to
the legend template.
4. Launch the Encore Soft Panels application and choose that model of
Soft Panel. Identify the name of that Soft Panel instance (for example,
XY09BA).
5. From the Panel Server, copy the legend template you created to that
Soft Panel instance.
6. Ensure the Soft Panels Dynamic Keycap box is checked.
7. Right click on the Soft Panel GUI (or click the Menu button on the
console), and then select Export Keycap Configuration .
8. A navigation window opens, allowing you to name the file, and choose
a location to save the file, or create a new folder for the file. The default
save location is C:\Program Files\Grass Valley Group\Soft Panels.
9. Enter a name for the keycap legend file, navigate to the save location,
and click
Save .
The file (a .doc MS Word document) can now be opened and used to print
keycap legends.
Keycap Legend Preparation
1. Access the .doc file from the saved location and without changing the
document’s formatting print it without any scaling onto a clear sheet.
2. Using the guide lines, carefully cut the keycap legends from the sheet.
A sharp knife and straight-edge works well for this operation.
