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 contact 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 user indicates in
the software configuration which inputs of the matrix are selected by the
joystick contacts. Normally video only is selected by the joystick, but there
is no limitation placed by the system and any level may be selected.

1. Press and hold the joystick to make an override selection.

2. Release the joystick to return to the previous selection made by the

panel.

3. If two or more joystick buttons are pressed, they queue or stack with

the last press taking priority.
