Control Panel Operation
131
Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
Menus and Modes
The Function menu and its submenus access the modes and functions used to control
the system. The modes are Change, Virtual Matrix, Status, Disconnect, Setup Options,
Lock Panel, Global Preset, and Local Preset. While in a mode, the same command can
be repeated, without having to return to the Function menu to re-select the mode, e.g.,
executing more than one local preset.
Use the Control Dial and Select Key to navigate the Function menu, and submenus. The
Function menu and the submenus are loop menus, which means that each menu returns
to its first item after you scroll past its last item.
Note:
A clear label with white lettering that shows the entire LCD Function
menu (as shown on the right) is included in the Control Panel Label Kit shipped
with the system. Dust surface of panel near the LCD with a dry cloth (if
necessary, use a non-abrasive cleaner), peel the backing off of the label, and
firmly press the label on the panel.
The Function menu (see right) and its submenus access the following modes and
functions:
Change
Selecting Change places the system in Change Mode. The Control Panel
must
be in Change Mode to execute switches.
While in Change Mode, select the Input and Output(s) Keys followed by the Take Key to execute switches (see
page 133).
Virtual Matrix
Selecting the Virtual Matrix Mode accesses the virtual matrices designated for the system in the configuration file
(VM 0, VM 1, and
any custom virtual matrices). The Virtual Matrix Mode can be selected to change the virtual matrix
currently used to execute operations (see page 134).
Status
Selecting Status places the system in Status Mode. Status Mode is used to confirm signal routing or routing to multiple
outputs without risk of accidentally executing a switch (see page 136).
Disconnect
Selecting Disconnect places the system in Disconnect Mode. While in Disconnect Mode, select the Input or Output
Key(s) followed by the Take Key to disconnect switches (see page 135). While in Disconnect Mode, the Control Panel
does not indicate the current routing of selected inputs or outputs.
Setup Options
Selecting Setup Options (see page 141) accesses the Setup Options submenu to check the software version, change the
default virtual matrix, reload the configuration file (when directed to do so by technical support), and change the Control
Panel password.
Lock Panel
Selecting Lock Panel places the Control Panel in Lock Mode at which time the password is entered to lock the panel.
Locking the panel prohibits access to the system and can prevent accidental switching (see page 139).
Global Preset
Selecting Global Preset accesses the Global Preset submenu to execute global presets or define global presets
(see page 137).
Local Preset
Selecting Local Preset accesses the list of local presets that can be executed (see page 139). Local Preset will only appear
as an option on the Function menu if local presets have been defined in XNConnect configuration software for the
selected virtual matrix.
Enova DGX Control Panel operation consists of the following four basic tasks:
Choosing a mode, submenu, or list:
press the Function Key to access the Function menu. Use the Control
Dial and Select Key to choose the desired mode, submenu, list, or list item.
Selecting inputs or outputs:
press the corresponding Input or Output Key. Selected keys will change color or
flash, depending on the routing state.
Selecting values for fields:
use the Control Dial and Select Key (e.g., virtual matrices or global presets).
Executing a command:
press the Take Key.
