2.2 PixButtons for Executing with Confidence
Much of the versatility of the Broadcast Pix system is due to its unique picture buttons,
called PixButtons. Each has a small computer VGA display built into the button, which has
a resolution of 36x24 pixels. PixButtons are only available on SoftPanels, 1000 and 2000
Controls Panels.
PixButtons show Information at a Glance
All PixButtons on the Broadcast Pix panel show information at a glance. They all contain a
device icon in their upper portion which shows which device is currently active in that
PixButton. In the illustration below, the Character Generator (CG) is active, as shown by
the CG icon. See Section 2.3 for all icons.
The remainder of the PixButton generally shows what individual content element is now
active on this device in this PixButton. In the illustration shown below the content number
and name is shown, which are the file name and number of this content element when it
was imported into the show memory system. As an alternative, some PixButtons use a
picture to convey content, as shown on the next page.
