CONTROL PANEL OPERATION
The Q1601 and Q1602 can be controlled from passive panels based on the standard CP-
1601A panel used in other Quartz routing systems. The local panel is designated CP-
1601A-LP and the remote panel CP-1601A-P. The operation is described below. The
whole range of standard Q-Link panels, available if the Q-Link option is fitted, are
described in a separate manual MANUAL-05.
DESCRIPTION
This panel has 17 buttons, sixteen buttons are used for source selection and the
seventeenth can be used as a
Lock
/
Enable
button or, additionally in the Q1602 to toggle
between destinations, depending on the setting of jumper links in the unit.
A slide-in designation strip may be used to label sources by easy-to-remember names
above the buttons.
OPERATION
Press the required source button to select a new source.
If the
Enable
mode is active then press and hold the
ENABLE
button, then press the
source button. This protects against accidental selection of a route.
If the
Lock
mode is enabled then the button toggles between the locked and unlocked
state. First select the route, and then press the
LOCK
button to protect the selection.
If the
destination toggle
mode is active then when the LED is off routes are selected on
Destination 1 and if the LED is on then routes are selected to Destination 2. Alternate
key presses toggle the LED on or off.
CHOP
This is used to switch rapidly between two sources usually for calibration purposes.
Press the first source and hold, press the second source and hold both buttons down for
half a second, release the second source first. The two sources will continue to switch
rapidly indefinitely until any source button on the panel is pressed.
JOYSTICK OR MICROSWITCH OVERRIDE
This feature is used for matching the colour balance of several cameras. Micro switches
in the joysticks of camera control units are pressed by the engineer conducting the line-
up to select the camera in use onto the line-up monitor.
The rear CONTROL connector can be configured to function as a joystick controller by
setting a jumper link inside the unit. In this mode the local panel will show the status on
its LEDs.
Operation is as follows:
1. Press and hold the joystick button to make an override selection.
2. Release the joystick to return to the default selection made by the panel.
If the 17
th
button of the local panel is configured as a LOCK button and is in the
off
condition then the switches provide momentary action, just like the joystick buttons. On
