1.6 Guided Tour
1.6.1 Construction
The Multi-Format Receiver is constructed using a screened self-ventilated modular
system. All operational inputs and outputs are via rear-panel connectors. The unit
may be operated freestanding or mounted in a 19-inch rack.
1.6.2 Front Panel Controls
The physical interface for the Front Panel consists of an alphanumeric LCD display,
pushbuttons, and status LEDs that are used to set-up and monitor the unit. The
general layout is shown in
Figure 1.7. Information on the use of these controls is
given in Chapter 3, Operating the Equipment Locally.
User input is via six pushbuttons comprising four cursor pushbuttons: Left , Right ,
Up , and Down ; and two edit control pushbuttons: Edit and Save .
Each pushbutton has an integral green LED except Save , which has an integral red
LED. When lit these LEDs indicate to the user which pushbutton is currently active.
Automatic repeat following an initial delay period is implemented for the Left , Right ,
Up , and Down pushbuttons in software.
