Input and Output Keys
Input and Output keys correspond to the input and output connections on the rear of the enclosure (FIG. 35). These keys
are used to select the inputs and outputs for routing source signals to destination devices, as well as for status and audio
operations. Input keys are also used for locking and unlocking the Control Panel. .
When an Input or Output key is pressed, the channel name displays on the LCD. Hold the key down to display the name
longer
NOTE:
Channel names that have been customized in the System Configuration interface (see page 127) will
automatically display on the LCD when the Input or Output key is pressed. The channel name default is "Input Name" or
"Output Name." The control panel’s LCD is limited to 20 characters and will truncate any longer names that are pulled
from the System Configuration interface.
The color of the Input and Output keys indicate availability or selection:
When an Input or Output key is pressed, the LCD displays the channel name. Hold the key down to display the name
longer. Return to the Function menu at any time by pressing the Function key.
When in Change Mode, available keys will be illuminated in blue and any unavailable ones will not be illuminated. The
first blue key selected flashes white and the next key(s) selected turns white. You can toggle the non-flashing white keys
between the selected (white) and deselected (blue) state before pressing the Take key.
FIG. 36 shows various keys states while in Change Mode:
Input key 19 is flashing white, indicating that input was selected first.
Outputs keys 4 and 5 are white, indicating that those outputs have also been selected (and can be deselected).
The switch from Input 19 to Outputs 4 and 5 will be executed when the Take key is pressed.
Note that keys 21 through 24 in the second row of inputs are not available (i.e., a board has not been installed for
these inputs).
Function Menus and Modes
The Function menu and its sub-menus access the modes and functions used to control the system. The modes are
Change, Virtual Matrix, Status, Disconnect, Setup Options, Lock Panel, Adjust Audio, Global Preset, and Master Info. While
in a mode, the same command can be repeated, without having to return to the Function menu to re-select the mode.

Input and Output Keys - Color Codes
Blue
Indicates the input or output is available for selection as part of the current operation.
White or flashing white
Indicates an input or output has been selected and that additional action is required to complete the
operation.
When verifying Status, the key corresponding to the selected input or output is white; a key(s) for the input or
outputs that are connected to the selected key turn white.
When a key is flashing white, it cannot be deselected and does not display label information on the LCD when
pressed. Select another key or press the Cancel key to deselect.
Non-illuminated
Indicates the input or output is not available for the current operation, e.g., if the enclosure’s configuration size
is not a full 32x32, some keys are always unavailable (never illuminated) because they do not have a
corresponding connector on the rear.
