Panel Rows
A Panel Row is used to select video sources for
the Background, Preset and Keyers of the ME,
Aux Bus, or AuxKey that the panel row is
assigned to. Each Panel Row is made up of four
buses of source buttons, Keyers Module,
Memory Module, and Transition Module by
default. The functionality of each of these
components depends on what the Panel Row is
assigned to, an ME or Aux Bus for example.
The number of crosspoint buttons and modules
that are assigned to the Panel Row depends on
how the individual modules are mapped. What
each row is assigned to is shown on the
mnemonic button to the right of the source
button row.
Note: If you do not have the Double-Down control panel, the
display to the right of the source buttons shows what the button
rows are assigned to, and there is only a single key bus.
Tip: To quickly assign a button row to a bus on the Double-Down
panel, press and hold one of the mnemonic buttons and select
the source button that corresponds to the bus you want to assign
the button row to. When you press and hold the mnemonic
