7.1 General Handling of the Menus
This section shows you how to work with the menus of your INDIGO AV
Mixer in general and provides you with a quick reference for looking up
information regarding the single menus.
The INDIGO AV Mixer menus provide capabilities that complement the
operation of the Control Panel. The menus control most of the system
functions and have additional controls not available on the Control Panel
(for example, wipe pattern selection, chroma key manual controls, and
configuration menus).
During live production, the operator spends most of his time working
directly on the Control Panel. The menus are used extensively for setup
and effects creation.
There are four Digipots beneath the Touch Screen. In many menus, you can
use them to adjust the parameters of the selected characteristic. Pressing a
Digipot sets the parameter value to default.
The handling of the menus is quick and easy, because of the Touch Screen,
the Digipots, and the sophisticated structure of the menus themselves.
In general, to learn menu capabilities, you can touch the screen where you
think more information may be available (data pads and submenu touch
buttons). The actual video output of the system will not change unless a
specific parameter button is touched, a value is changed with a Digipot, or
a new value is entered manually.
