5. Operation
Summary
Generally, to operate the panel, you choose a destination, (possibly) choose desired breakaway lev-
els, and choose a source. Choosing a source for a destination completes the take unless source pre-
view mode is active. In that case, pressing a ‘Take’ button is required for the completion of the take.
This paradigm has slight variations in the different modes.
Single-Destination Mode
In single-destination mode, the panel’s destination is configured as the default destination and there
are no destination buttons. You cannot select a destination
—
it is already selected.
Takes are performed on all levels of the default destination.
You can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of sources.
Takes occur as soon as a source button is pressed unless source preview mode is active. In that case,
pressing a ‘Take’ button is required for the completion of the take.
Single-Destination Mode with Breakaway
This mode is an extension of single-destination mode that includes level buttons on the panel and
that allows breakaway.
Here too, the single destination is configured as the default destination and you cannot select a des-
tination because it is already selected.
Level buttons selected the levels on which the take is to occur. Takes occur on all levels when either
no levels are selected or when all levels are selected.
You can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of sources.
Takes occur as soon as a source button is pressed unless source preview mode is active. In that case,
pressing a ‘Take’ button is required for the completion of the take.
Limited X-Y Mode
In limited X-Y mode, takes occur from a single source to a single destination. Destinations are
selectable and there are two pages of destinations in addition to the two pages of sources.
Breakaway is possible if the panel has level buttons.
Pressing a source button completes a take unless source preview mode is active. In that case, press-
ing a ‘Take’ button is required for the completion of the take.
Operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of sources. Similarly, opera-
tors can use a ‘Destination Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of destinations.
Multi-Destination Mode
In this mode, source buttons are configured with destinations as well as sources. Thus, each source
button completes a route to its own assigned destination. If each button had a different destination,
it would be possible to route to as many as 38 destinations. The typical configuration would assign
one destination to one set of sources, another destination to another set of sources, and so on.
Takes are all-level.
Operators can use a ‘Source Shift’ button to toggle between two sets of sources. There is no desti-
nation shift and a button’s destination does not change when you press a ‘Source Shift’ button.
