154 Zodiak — User Manual
Section 4 — Menus Overview
Touching an arrow on the top or bottom of this display scrolls that area to
the next group of available items. The white area of the scroll bar is used to
scroll the entire page. When the top or bottom of the list is reached, that
arrow goes gray.
Menu and Panel Interactions
The Main panel and the Menu panel graphical user interface operate as a
single control surface, and so these components interact with one another.
Many controls on the Main panel are duplicated on the Menu panel
screens. For example, a keyer can be set to use a Chroma key with a Main
panel button or a Menu touch button. Other controls, like manual Chroma
key settings, are only available on the Menu panel.
Double Press Open (DPOP) and Single Press Open (SPOP) are convenient
ways to access related menus when working on the Main panel. Double
pressing or single pressing certain buttons bring up particular menus (see
DPOP and SPOP Menu Delegation
on page 100 ).
Once that menu is displayed, delegation changes affecting that menu that
are made on the Main panel will be tracked on the Menu panel. For
example, if M/E 2 Key 1 is selected on a menu, and then M/E 2 Key 2 is
selected on the Main panel, the menu display will change its delegation to
M/E 2 Key 2. However, the reverse is not true. Changing delegations on
the Menu panel does not change Main panel delegations.
When both the Main panel and the Menu panel are delegated to the same
object (say, M/E 1, Key 1), changes can be made to that object from either
panel. Once the change occurs, both panels will be updated to reflect the
status of the object.
Both panels do not need to be delegated to the same object to enact a
change, however. Suppose the Main panel is delegated to control M/E 1,
Key 1 while the Menu panel is delegated to M/E 2, Key 2. Changes made
on the Menu panel will affect only M/E 2, Key 2, and changes made on the
Main panel will affect only M/E 1 Key 1. When the delegation of either
panel is changed to a new object, that object’s current status (which may
have been changed since last shown) will be reflected on that panel.
