System Overview

 

This section describes the QuadraVista QF unit, its front panel buttons and LEDs, and rear panel connectors. 

A brief description of the functions of the front panel buttons is also given here. 

 

Front Panel

 

The QuadraVista QF front panel has eight LED status indicators and eight buttons. 

 

Buttons 1 through 4 switch between channels, and LEDs 1 through 4 indicate the status of the individual 

channels.  Full, Quad, PiP, and Win buttons are used to switch display modes, and the corresponding LEDs 

indicate the current mode. The Pip and Win buttons are also used to display the OSD menus and make 

selections.
