8.3 Locking Panels Together
The control panels can either be linked or locked together or unlocked, depending on
your needs. The default state of this setting in not checked (unlocked).
Locked:
Locks together everything on all panels, so that they will be at
identical states at all times. For example, if you press on any button on
the control panel, it will now change on all SoftPanels.
Unlocked: The panel’s device controls on each panel can be set to different
devices, and operated independently, while the fixed switcher
control are still locked together. For example, it may be desirable for
the graphics person to always be able control the CG, no matter what
device the Show Creator happens to be using.

Panel
drop down menu.
