Operating Concepts
Single-Destination Panel
(This scenario assumes that a destination was pre-selected during configuration.)
1 Select a source and press ‘Take’.
OR
2 Navigate to a quick source, and select it. The take is automatic.
MD Mode
1 If required, enter MD mode. (Use the XY/MD button.)
2 Scroll to a destination and select it.
3 Select a source.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all destinations you intend to use.
5 Press ‘Take’.
When ‘Hold’ is enabled in MD mode, you can select many MD destinations at once. Subsequently
selecting a source assigns the source to all selected MD destinations. You can turn ‘Hold’ on and
off as you require during an MD take.
Broadcast Routes
It is easy and normal to route a source to multiple destinations for audio and video routers. In con-
trast, machine control routes are typically point-to-point. Therefore, to control multiple machines
requires that you perform a “broadcast” operation using a ‘Broadcast’ button.
During broadcast, the source device controls one or more destination devices.
Making Broadcast Routes
Follow these steps to broadcast control signals:
1 Ensure that the panel is in “source is master” mode. It is either in “source is master” mode by
default or you must press a ‘Source is Master’ button to activate the mode. The mode is active
when the ‘Source is Master’ button is high-tally.
2 Select a destination and preset a source. Then press ‘Take’.
3 Press the ‘Broadcast’ button.
4 Select a destination and preset a source. Then press ‘Take’.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to add other machines to the set of controlled devices.
S
In MD mode, with hold mode active, you can select multiple broadcast destinations with a sin-
gle take.
Implicit in the ‘Broadcast’ button is the “source is master” mode. It is not necessary to press
‘Source is Master’ repeatedly. The reason you must press ‘Source is Master’ the first time is that
“broadcast mode” is not yet active.
Removing Broadcast Routes
To cancel a route, route the source to another destination normally.
To remove a destination from the set of broadcast destinations, route another source (e.g., the free
source) to the destination.
