Dedicated functions, such as ‘Default State’ and ‘Chop’.
•
Variable functions, such as ‘Salvo’, ‘Source’, or ‘Destination’. A salvo button executes a specific
system salvo. A source button selects a specific source and completes a take. A destination
button selects a specific destination.
•
Special functions, such as ‘Menu’.
At present, there are 25 button types, not including “undefined” which is not a true button type:

Broadcast
A broadcast button applies to a data (or machine control) level only. The button assigns one
controlling device (the master) to multiple controlled devices (the slaves). The function is useful
in dubbing applications. See
on page 45 for more information.
Pressing the ‘Broadcast’ button turns off the ‘Source is Master’ button and vice versa.
All
Chop
When a “chop” function is supported by a router, the button is a toggle that enables and
disables “chop.” Chop is a rapid switching of the current destination device between the one
source and another source.
The chop function is used to test system timing and would not be used during normal
operation.
The use of the chop function varies according to the operating mode. See
