Some controlling applications can switch the card's mode from Playback to 

Capture, and vice-versa. When Control Panel is not being controlled by an 

external application, you can change the operating mode in the Control Panel 

Control Screen using the Default State settings.

•  Selecting Passthrough (Cap) sets the card to Capture Mode
•  Selecting either Test Pattern (PB) or Hold Last App sets the card to Playback 

Mode

See 

"Default State" on page 20

 for more information.

Block Diagram Area

The top block diagram area of the Control Panel screen is a visual representation 

of the processing, if any, that’s currently occurring, including inputs/outputs, 

reference source, and system status. Lines between inputs, the framebuffer, and 

outputs, show a video path. Where there are no lines, there is no connection; this 

can be because an input or output isn’t selected in the Input Select menu. The 

lines will also show whether the outputs are video or video + key. 
You can click any of the function screen selection links in the left column to view 

its current settings or click on an icon to call up its related settings screen. You can 

also right-click or Control-click to see context-sensitive information and choices
