Source
The button selects a source. The source name appears in the ‘Status’ display. Pressing a
source button completes a take.
The nature of source buttons differs according to the panel’s configured operating mode:
• Limited X-Y mode
A source button can select one of two sources. The first source belongs to source set 1
and the second source belongs to source set 2. Pressing a ‘Source Shift’ button toggles
the panel between set 1 and set 2.
• Multi-destination mode
A source button can select one of two sources, as in limited X-Y mode, and it selects a
destination.
Typically several source buttons (in MD mode) will share the same destination. Other
groups of source buttons will also share their own common destination.
The destination for a source button does not change under a source shift.
See Multi-Destination Operations on page 37 .
X, M
Source is Master
Means “source is the master” and makes the source device the master. Otherwise, the
destination is the master. This button (and these concepts) apply only to machine control
routes.
The button is a toggle: Press it once to make the source the master (it goes high-tally); press
it again to make the destination the master (the button is low-tally).
The ‘Source is Master’ button is also used to initiate “broadcast” machine control routes.
See
Broadcast Routes on page 39 .
During data level (i.e., machine control) takes, this button makes the source device the
master. Otherwise, the destination is the master.
The button is a toggle that reverses the direction of data routing. For example, if the
destination is the master and the source is the slave, pressing a ‘Source is Master’ button
reverses their roles. Pressing the button again reverses the roles.
The ‘Source is Master’ button is used to initiate “broadcast” control routes. See Broadcast
Routes on page 39 .
The panel can be configured so that “source is master” is the default state or so that
“destination is master” is the default. The button still toggles between “source is master”
and “destination is master.”

Pressing the ‘Source is Master’ button turns off the ‘Broadcast’ button and vice versa.
X, M
Source Shift
The ‘Source Shift’ button toggles between the first and second source “pages.”
The button affects the operation of any source button (in any mode). Source buttons
represent two sources (and, in multi-destination mode, a destination). One source belongs
to source “page” 1 and the other belongs to source “page” 2.
