Controls on Mira Control Panel
There are a variety of control elements on the Mira Control Panel, and are easy to identify.
T-Bar
Located on the far left edge of the control panel, this device is primarily used to set the play speed of the video loaded into the currently
controlled program video output channel. A future
shifted
function for the T-Bar will include the ability to “cruise” through a range of video
contained within the record stream, within a clip, or within a playlist.
By default, the range of play speed is from 0% at the bottom of T-Bar travel, and 100% at the top of T-Bar travel.
Rotary Dial
This large dial is located at the far right edge of the control panel, and has a variety of functions; depending on which button is active within
the “Rotary Dial” group of buttons, located to the immediate left of the dial. Most of the time, the rotary dial is used to jog through the video
that’s currently loaded on the currently controlled program video output channel.
The parameter AUTO JOG in the User Setup menu determines whether the JOG mode is automatically activated whenever the dial is
turned while in LIVE EE, PLAYBACK, CLIP PLAY or PLAY LIST modes.
When the
(scroll) button is activated, turning the rotary dial will move the highlighting cursor through a menu or clip list without
loading a clip or item into the PGM video output channel.
When the
(browse) button is activated, turning the rotary dial will move the highlighting cursor through a menu or clip list and will
simultaneously load highlighted clips or items into the PGM video output channel.
Buttons
There are two types of buttons on the Mira Control Panel:
One button style is rectangular in shape, has an opaque keycap, and most have an associated tri-colored lamp located immediately below
the button. Here are a few examples:
The other button style is square in shape, has a translucent keycap, and is illuminated within from an RGB lamp inside the button. Here are
a few examples:
Button Activation
Almost all of the buttons are “momentary” in operation, and require only a “
tap
” (a quick press and release) to operate.
However, six of the rectangular-shaped buttons are “
press-and-hold
” in operation—requiring the user to
press down and hold
the button
to perform a given function. These
six
buttons are easily identified with a
reddish-colored
keycap:
The operator must hold down these buttons for a period of time to perform the desired function. The specific function for these six buttons
is described later in this manual.
