Section 4 — Control Panels
Breakaways
Buttons nay be configured, using the SMS-6000 Configuration Editor, to
enable breakaway selections of signal levels such as video, audio 1, audio
2 and time code.
If the breakaways are allowed, then normally all the level buttons light up
denoting the married mode in which all switching levels are switched
simultaneously. If a breakaway selection is required then press the button
to deselect the levels which are not required to switch. Then press a source
button to choose a new source on the breakaway level.
NOTE: If more than one level is enabled, the source status indicated is that of the
level of the left button.
Lock
This button allows you to protect a route that you have selected. The lock
mode can be configured to function in several way but, by default, it locks
its own panel dependently or each destination.
Press the LOCK button once to lock the route/panel. The button lights to
show that the panel is locked.
Press the button again to unlock the route/panel.
The panel remembers the lock status so that when a destination is locked
and this destination is reselected then the lock button will light to show
that this destination is locked.
Joystick or Microswitch Override
This feature is used for matching the color balance of several cameras.
Microswitches in the joysticks of camera control units are pressed by the
engineer conducting the line-up to select the camera in use onto the line-up
monitor. It overrides the current selection made on a remote panel. When
the microswitch contract is released the override selection reverts to the
previous selection made on the conventional panel.
Each control panel can support up to eight cameras. The software
configuration of the system determines which inputs of the matrix are
selected by the joystick contacts. Normally video only is selected by the
joystick but there is in fact no limitation placed by the system and any level
may be configured to be selected.
Press and hold the joystick to make an override selection.
Release the joystick to return to the previous selection make by the panel.
If two or more joystick buttons are pressed, then the past press takes
priority.
