FS4 Frame Synchronizer/Converter v1.1
Presets and FS4
Operating Mode
Independent sets of FS4 Presets exist for Four Channel and Single Channel mode. Forty
presets are available in each mode, each can be given a different name, and storing or
recalling a preset in Four Channel mode will not affect FS4 operation in Single Channel
mode.
Parameter Menus
The FS4 display presents five major types of menu pages:
• Status pages—present status information that cannot be changed.
• Simple parameter menus—contain a parameter number and name on line 1 and its
current value setting on line 2. The line 2 value can be changed using
SELECT
and
ADJUST
. Example:
Output Format
.
• “Take action” parameter menus—contain a parameter number and name on line 1, and
the value to “take” on line 2. A “take” prompt may appear on line 3. The line 2 value can
be changed using
SELECT
and
ADJUST,
and the take or switch to the new value occurs
when you press
ADJUST
momentarily. Examples:
Preset Save/Recall
.
• Multiple field parameter menus—contain a parameter number and name on line 1 and
its current value setting on line 2, consisting of multiple letter or number fields that
must each be set individually. The line 2 fields can be changed using
SELECT
and
ADJUST
. Example:
IP Address.
• Hidden parameter menus—a “parent” menu exists that, when that parent parameter is
turned on, can display “child” menus of related parameters. When the Hidden Menus
parameter is set to Hide Inactive, these child menus are hidden when the parent
parameter is off. Some menu names contain a decimal (dot) number and zero, which
indicates there are a group of related parameters. Example: 1.0 ProcAmp is the parent
menu of the 1.1 through 1.4 child menus.
NOTE:
In this chapter, menus unique to an FS4 operating mode will be indicated as (4Ch only) or
(SingleCh only). Other menus are identical in both Four Channel and Single Channel modes.
STATUS Menu Group
The Status Menu Group contains a series of
Status
display pages that you can scroll using
the
SELECT
knob. The various Status pages are actually just displays, not menus, since
they don’t include menu numbers or editable values. The
ADJUST
knob doesn’t affect the
Status Menu Group display pages.
System Status
This menu shows the FS4's System Name, IP address and mask, and version number.
Caution!
In Four Channel Mode, each Preset saves all the settings for all four channels. Storing
and recalling a Preset will affect all the settings for all four channels in that mode. Care
must be taken to establish a policy for the use of FS4 Presets, especially if the FS4 is
operated in Four Channel mode and the different channels have different users.
