3.2 Operating elements on the screen
The uppermost line on the screen is the menu bar. A menu can be called up
by clicking the corresponding word in the menu bar. The exclamation mark be-
hind the menu word indicates that an action is carried out directly if the word
is clicked. If menu words without exclamation marks are clicked, a pull-down
menu is displayed in which a selection must be made (e.g. MAIN pull-down
menu).
The second line of the screen is the menu status line. This indicates which
menu is currently active.
The lowest line displays the current time as well as codec status information
such as existing connections, active loops or alarm messages. If REMOTE
(red and flashing) is displayed in the lowest line, this means that remote con-
trol via the LSD channel (see CHAPTER 7) is activated. LOCAL means that it
is deactivated. The status of the connection between PC and videocodec is
displayed to the left of the time. PC-CONN means that the connection is in or-
der. PC-DROP means that there is no connection.
CLOSE – Closing the current window
Every window contains a CLOSE button. Clicking this button closes the re-
spective window and returns you to the previous menu. The CLOSE function
is also activated by pressing the Escape key.
3.2.1 Graphical user interface operation with a mouse
The graphical user interface has been designed such that all functions can be
executed with the mouse. The keyboard is needed only for text entry (e.g. a
file name when a new configuration is set up or a call number):
– To select an item in the menu bar, click the corresponding word. To do this,
move the mouse pointer to the word and press the left mouse key for a
short time (“click”). The word is then displayed briefly with a red back-
ground and the function is executed. This way you can, for example, clear
down an existing connection (by clicking DISC!), or call up the AUDIO pa-
nel (by clicking AUDIO!) to set audio parameters.
If words that have no exclamation marks are clicked, a pull-down menu is
displayed. This is a window in which there are several options. The proce-
dure for mouse operation is the same here. Simply place the mouse cursor
above the required word or field and press the left mouse key. The function
is then executed.
– Similarly, to activate a function, click the corresponding function key (e.g.
CLOSE).
– To change the setting of a switch displayed on the screen, place the cursor
at the position where you want the switch to be set and press the left
mouse key.
– To enter a text (see above) place the click the entry field directly. The text
can now be entered.
