Introduction

Double Press

Some buttons can be pressed twice rapidly to perform a different related
function. For example, pressing the

Clear WkBfr

button once in the Effects

Edit subpanel can clear basic work buffer parameters, but pressing

Clear WkBfr

twice can clear both the basic parameters and the source

memory parameters from the work buffer.

Double Press Open (DPOP) is a variation on double press where the alter-
nate action displays a specific menu. See DPOP and SPOP Menu Delegation

on page 100

for more information.

Button Tally

The state of a panel button is indicated by the illumination of its internal
tally LED. The following indicators exist:

High tally

Low tally

Flashing

Brief tally

Off

Note that the button tally indicates the state of the function to which that
button is currently delegated (see Delegation

on page 98

).

A high tally is used when the function associated with that button is active.
For example, the source button currently selected on an M/E will be high
tally when it is on-air.

A low tally is used when a third state exists for a button. For example, a
source button selected on an M/E that is not on-air will be low tally. For
other buttons, low tally can have different meanings. For example, low
tally can indicate a function is available for use (the

Mod

button in the Key-

frame Edit subpanel), it could mean an E-MEM level is enabled but not del-
egated (Master E-MEM subpanel), or it could report that a function is
selected but disabled (Transition subpanel).

Flashing tally is reserved for situations where the operator needs to be
aware that some expected panel behavior has been changed (see

Dialogs

and Prompting

below).

Tallys will be off for buttons whose functions are off or not available. If a
disabled button is pressed a warning notification occurs (audible beep
and/or message on the Menu panel).
