Stand-Alone Operation
Stand-Alone Network
Example
Two levels, HD and AES, are taken from the VTR to the monitor:
The four level buttons on a control panel correspond to the four router levels, with level 1 on the
left and level 4 on the right.
A level button is illuminated (in amber) if a router at that level is present in the network. The
button is dark if not.
A level button is high-tally when the level is selected and low-tally when not.
 If the rotary switch setting of a router is not in the range [1–4] then its level cannot be
controlled by the level buttons.
Exceptions
In most cases, the level buttons are toggles: press the level button to select the level, press the
button again to deselect the level. However, there is an exception: when you have selected
all
the levels in your network, pressing any level button deselects the other levels and leaves the
one you pressed selected.
Another exception is when you have only one router in your network. Pressing the level selec-
tion button has no effect. The single router is always selected.
Takes
A network of routers is capable of multi-level takes.
Follow these steps to perform a multi-level take:
1 Press the level buttons on a panel to select the levels for the take. Be aware of the level selec-
tion exceptions, listed under Exceptions above. The buttons for selected levels are high-tally.
2 Press ‘Destination Mode’.
3 Select a destination.
4 Press ‘Source Mode’.
5 Select a source.
The take is complete. A routing switch occurs on each level you selected at the remote panel
module.
