Displays and Indicators
The Synergy 100 switcher always keeps you informed.
•
PGM
bus crosspoints are illuminated red, signifying “on-air” status, except when the
panel is faded to black. In this case, the crosspoint LEDs will be orange.
•
PST
bus crosspoints are lit orange, except during a background transition, when they
will be red.
•
KEY
bus crosspoints will be lit orange when the key is not on air, and red when the key
is contributing to the program output.
• The secret-till-lit LEDs to the left of each crosspoint bus will be lit green when the
source selected on the bus is synchronous, and orange if the source is non-synchronous.
• Functions that have control of the Effects Control groups will be lit green (e.g.
FLY
KEY
).
• The
ON AIR
secret-till-lit LEDs in the Effects Keyers group and under the key and
DSK transition buttons in the Transition Control group glow red when the key is on air.
• The
EDIT
secret-till-lit LED under the
MENU
button in the System Control group is lit
when the Editor option is installed and enabled.
• The auto transition rate in the System Control group is constantly visible.
• When the switcher is in “memory mode”, the last memory register accessed is displayed
in the
System Control group.
• The four-character
MODE
displays in the Effects Control , Mattes , and System
Control groups, always inform you of which function has control of each group.
• The LEDs in the Transition Progress Bar show you how far the transition has
progressed, and which direction the fader must travel to complete it.
General Purpose Interface
The Synergy 100 MD is equipped with ten dedicated GPI inputs. Each GPI input can be used to
perform simple editing and switcher functions such as fade to black, an auto transition, and a memory
recall.
Emergency Bypass Relays
The Synergy 100 MD frame also includes 2 dedicated power-fail relays. These normally closed relays
open in the event of a power failure, or other system fault that prevents a reliable program output (for
example, removal of a Video Output card). These relays can be used to control an external emergency
routing system.
Control Panel Tallies
Sixteen tallies come standard with the Synergy 100 MD control panel.
10 Meter Control Cable
The Synergy 100 MD control panel and rack frame are connected by a single, standard 8-pin
flat-shielded Telco cable that uses RS-422 communication. The maximum cable length between the
control panel and its rack frame is 1,000 feet or 305 meters.
Note
GPI outputs are not implemented as this time.
