Custom Control Overview
The Custom Control function of the switcher allows you to program sequences of keystrokes (called
“macros”) and other special switcher functions — and store them in dedicated buttons and banks in
the
Custom Control group. Once programmed, a macro can be played back simply by pressing one
button in the Custom Control group. A custom control macro can be as simple as triggering an output
GPI pulse, or as complex as recalling a specific memory register, performing a switcher transition, and
flying a group of keys — all with one-button simplicity.
The following figures illustrate each switcher’s Custom Control Group . Note that sample labels are
provided.
Synergy 2
The following figure illustrates the Custom Control Group for the Synergy 2, 2003 edition panel. A
total of 17 registers are provided, up to eight of which can be assigned as banks to increase the total
number of available registers.
