Button Order
The ordering of buttons on a panel affects the meaning of level selection under standard mode.
We call this spatial ordering.
The order in which the operator presses level buttons affects the meaning of level selection
under standard mode. We call this temporal ordering.
To illustrate, the following examples use a set of 6 sources and 6 destinations. Three of the
sources and three of the destinations have AV, AES, and TC levels. The remaining sources and
destinations have SD, AES, and TC levels. The four level buttons are AV, AES, TC, and SD.
Button order is important only in standard mode. The examples are for panels in standard mode.
In standard mode, pressing level buttons enables certain sources and destinations and disables
other sources and destinations. The button for a disabled source or destination is off. The oper-
ator may perform ‘takes’ only for enabled destinations and sources.
Spatial Ordering
Rule 1: when all levels are selected, the sources and destinations that are enabled are those that
include the level that is controlled by the level button with the lowest button number. If no
levels are selected, no sources and destinations are enabled.
The level on the level button with the lowest button number has precedence or priority over
other levels.
These examples show the difference between two orderings of level buttons. Figure 6-5 shows
level buttons in the order AV, AES, TC, SD:
Fig. 6-5: Spatial Ordering AV, AES, TC, SD
Level AV is on the left and has the lowest button number. Because all levels are selected, sources
and destinations that include level AV are enabled (low-tally) and other sources and destina-
tions are disabled (buttons turned off ).
Figure 6-6 shows level buttons in the reverse order (SD, TC, AES, AV):
Fig. 6-6: Spatial Ordering SD, TC, AES, AV
Here, level SD is on the left and has the lowest button number. Again, all levels are selected.
Sources and destinations that include level SD are now enabled and other sources and destina-
tions are disabled (buttons turned off ).
