During configuration, you can assign any of the 7 colors to a button.
Function Buttons
Each LCD button has four levels of brightness: off, low, medium, and high, and supports three
operational levels: high tally, low tally, and off. High tally can be either medium or high brightness
and low tally can be either low or medium brightness. High tally is always constrained to be
brighter than low tally.
Although you can see a list of the pages in the tree during configuration, the structure of the tree is
not evident on the panel itself. The panel operator must commit the tree structure to memory to be
able to use the panel. It is up to the person configuring the panel to design a usable tree structure.
Some buttons functions are assigned by the system depending on the context. For example. if a but-
ton page is to represent all sources in a category, and that list changes, the button subtree adjusts in
size dynamically. The panel software adds a
Forward
button and a
Back
button if there are more
sources than buttons. Pressing the
Forward
button takes you to the next page of sources. Pressing
the
Back
button takes you to the previous page of sources.
Some button states depend on context. Many buttons remain unlit when their functions are dis-
abled. For example,
Page Up and Page Down buttons remain unlit until there is an opportunity to
scroll selection buttons. By default, an XY/MD button turns green for X-Y mode and amber for
multi-destination mode.

.
The LCD buttons display a menu if the operator presses a menu button. When the operator make a
menu selection, viewable data are displayed on the LCD buttons. In some cases, the operator can
enter data (such as panel ID or LCD brightness) using buttons that allow data entry.
Configurers can define ‘Selection’ buttons that select a level during a breakaway setup. (Configur-
ers must do so if the operator is to make such selections.)
Scrolling is necessary when a list of items — for instance, source devices — exceeds the number of
buttons available for the items. The panel adds
Forward
and
Back
buttons as necessary. Panels that
use multi-destination mode will probably require
Page Up
and
Page Down
buttons.
Alphanumeric Display
The 4×22 alphanumeric display provides real-time feedback for the operators as they press buttons
to execute takes and other operations. The panel functions in two modes: X-Y or multi-destination.
The display changes according to the mode. In either case, the display has 4 rows. Operators might
need to scroll the display to see additional information. (The up and down buttons, right next to the
display, are for scrolling the display.)
