3.1 Terminology
In this chapter the terms telemetry receiver or more simply receiver will be used to identify both the normal
telemetry receivers and the domes.
VCR means videocassette recorder; Mux means video multiplexer .
The Aux Line is one of the two auxiliary channels, as specified at the time ( Aux A and Aux B ).
Cameras and video inputs refer to the cameras and video signals connected to the matrix .
Monitor is the same as video output .
3.2 Notes regarding the menu system
Setting up the matrix is a rather complex operation: we advise proceeding a step at a time in the order
suggested by the menus. The choices made in one menu will often affect subsequent menus, which may
or may not show the setup parameters.
The menus can be further simplified by appropriate settings to the items in the menu for System
setup/Simplify menu : all functions that are not used will be automatically removed from subsequent menus,
thus considerably reducing the probability of errors.
Setup can be carried out using a keyboard connected to the matrix (On Screen Menu) or from the PC.
3.2.1 Setup by On Screen Menu
Setup by On Screen Menu interrupts matrix operation (any alarms arriving during setup will not be
acknowledged) and puts the connected keyboards into a special mode. When exit from setup, the matrix
temporarily resets for a few seconds, to assimilate the new settings.
The keys used for On Screen Menu setup are shown on the screen as necessary.
To enter a submenu press the corresponding number, to exit press the

key. Sometimes it will be
possible to scroll through a series of lines with

/

or with the joystick, and request a change to the
line indicated by the cursor by pressing the

key.
There are different ways of changing the parameters, depending on the item to be modified:
•
by pressing a number of times to correspond with the desired item, if the choice is between a few
options: every time the key is pressed the next value is suggested
•
by inserting a numeric value which is then to be confirmed by

; an inserted value that has not been
confirmed can be erased with

; it is often possible to cancel a whole setup line by pressing

when inserting a numerical value.
