Configuration
Selection Buttons
Behavior
XY Mode
When the panel is in X-Y mode, a set of selection buttons presents a set of virtual levels. The
levels displayed correspond to the levels in the level set of a selected destination device. If a
selection button is dark and blank, the level does not exist in the level set. If a selection button is
dark, but has text, the level exists, but is not defined for the selected device. If a selection button
is high-tally, the level is selected. If a selection button is low-tally, the level is not selected.
If there are more levels than selection buttons, the up/down buttons activate and the operator
can scroll through the levels.
MD Mode
When the panel is in MD mode, a set of selection buttons presents a set of MD destinations. If a
selection button is blank, an MD device was not assigned to it. If a selection button is high-tally,
the MD device is selected. If a selection button is low-tally, the MD destination is not selected.
If there are more destinations than selection buttons, the up/down buttons activate and the
operator can scroll through the destinations.
 Note that the number of MD destinations is configured in multiples 8, from 8 to 512. Not all
MD destinations need to be defined. You can have duplicate definitions if it suits your
purposes.
Selection
XY Mode — Normal
When the operator selects a destination, all selection buttons that have levels defined for the
destination turn on (high-tally). The operator may select or deselect any levels as required, by
pressing selection buttons and perhaps scrolling the selection buttons.
 Note that if the operator selects a level when all levels are on, all the other levels become
unselected (low-tally).
Selecting a new destination again turns on all selection buttons that have levels defined.
 ‘Source/Destination’ buttons are “all level”— not subject to level selection.
XY Mode — Hold Mode
In hold mode, when the operator selects a destination, previously deselected levels (defined for
the destination) remain selected for additional takes and previously unselected levels remain
deselected. (Individual levels turn on or off as the user selects them.)
MD Mode — Normal
When the user selects an MD device, all selection buttons are mutually exclusive: when the
operator presses one button, any others that were selected turn off. To perform MD takes, the
operator alternately selects an MD device and then a source until all intended devices have
been preset. Then the operator presses ‘Take’.
(In normal mode, any selected MD devices become unselected after the take.)
