Avenue Express Control Panel

EXPRESS CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW

The Avenue Express Control Panel is excellent for use in satellite receiving, ingest areas,
and remote trucks. The Avenue Express Control Panel has the following overall features:

• Elegant control for the 7500, 8400, and 8500 Video Processing Frame Sync

modules as well as other Avenue modules

• Dedicated knobs for video, chroma, pedestal, and hue
• Adjust audio levels for multiple groups
• Control all parameters of all Avenue modules
• Easily adjust video levels, timing, audio delay and other parameters
• Intuitive user interface
• Compact 1 RU design
• Easy to install
• User Levels for security
• Module lock out for critical paths
• Use any combination of Touch Screen, Express Panels or PCs for control and

monitoring

While it can be used to control any Avenue module, the Express Panel really shines when
used with the Signal Acquisition system, the 7500, 8400, and 8500 Video Processing
Frame Sync modules.With dedicated video, chroma, pedestal, and hue knobs, live shading
is easy. The continuous rotation velocity sensitive knobs are responsive and dependable.
Audio levels for multiple groups are easily accessed as well. All other parameters,
including timing and audio delay, are accessed through an intuitive menu interface.

One Express Panel can control most modules in your Avenue system. Refer to the manual
data pack for particular modules that cannot be controlled by the Express Panel.
Alternately you can have as many Touch Screen and Express Panels as you like in your
Avenue system. Customize the control system for your needs. Any number of 1 RU and 3
RU Avenue frames can be connected together through the AveNet interframe LAN bus to
create an Avenue network. These networks can then communicate over Ethernet using
the AveNet over IP feature (AVIP). The frames can be controlled by a single control panel
or any number of control panels installed on the network.

Remote control of Avenue frames is provided through a series of menus for system config-
uration and for setting parameters for each module installed in the frames. A series of
menus allow you to set AveNet and IP Addresses, enable AveNet Over IP (AVIP), name
and monitor modules, frames and groups of frames, and set module parameters in the
system.

To configure and use the Express Panel, follow the instruction starting with Express
Panel Configuration.
