Introduction
Double Press
Some buttons can be pressed twice rapidly to perform a different related
function. For example, pressing the
Clear WkBfr
button once in the Effects
Edit subpanel can clear basic work buffer parameters, but pressing
Clear WkBfr
twice can clear both the basic parameters and the source
memory parameters from the work buffer.
Double Press Open (DPOP) is a variation on double press where the alter-
nate action displays a specific menu. See
DPOP and SPOP Menu Delegation
on page 98 for more information.
Button Tally
The state of a panel button is indicated by the illumination of its internal
tally LED. The following indicators exist:
• High tally
• Low tally
• Flashing
• Brief tally
• Off
Note that the button tally indicates the state of the function to which that
button is currently delegated (see
Delegation on page 96 ).
A high tally is used when the function associated with that button is active.
For example, the source button currently selected on an M/E will be high
tally when it is on-air.
A low tally is used when a third state exists for a button. For example, a
source button selected on an M/E that is not on-air will be low tally. For
other buttons, low tally can have different meanings. For example, low
tally can indicate a function is available for use (the
Mod
button in the Key-
frame Edit subpanel), it could mean an E-MEM level is enabled but not del-
egated (Master E-MEM subpanel), or it could report that a function is
selected but disabled (Transition subpanel).
Flashing tally is reserved for situations where the operator needs to be
aware that some expected panel behavior has been changed (see
Dialogs
and Prompting below).
Tallys will be off for buttons whose functions are off or not available. If a
disabled button is pressed a warning notification occurs (audible beep
and/or message on the Menu panel).
