Configuring Encore Control Panels
Destination Ganging
Background
Destination Ganging was previously available for Encore 48B and JEP-100
Control Panels, as briefly described below.
• On 48B panels, holding down one Destination button and pressing and
releasing others would Gang those Destinations, allowing Takes of the
same Source to multiple Destinations with one button press. Selecting
a Destination without holding down a button cancelled the Gang. This
method can be considered Dest Ganging Option 1.
• On the JEP-100 Control panel, a front panel configuration setting could
be used to activate Destination Ganging, at which time Destination
buttons could be toggled on and off to add or remove them from a
Gang. This can be considered Dest Ganging Option 2.
Destination Ganging for v1.8.0 Software
With Encore v1.8.0 software, Destination Ganging functionality is added to
the Encore BPS, SMS P32, P48, & PXS, and KMD & KSD Control Panels.
Ganging Option 1 and Option 2 are both available on all these Control
Panels, and on the Encore 48B panel. Option 2 Ganging becomes available
on the Soft Panel equivalents for these panels, and continues to be available
on the JEP-100 Control Panel.
If a hardware panel is configured with a
Shift
button, Ganging Option 1 is
automatically disabled and only Ganging Option 2 will be supported.
Because both the Shift and Ganging Option 1 features employ a button
hold-down technique, they cannot both be active at the same time.
The Control Panel Partitioning feature is incompatible with any form of
Destination Ganging. When the
Multiple Dst Control
flag is on, which activates
Control Panel Partitioning, Destination Ganging functionality is unavail-
able.
