General Information
About Configurable Buttons
When your panel is controlling an Imagestore 750, there are 4 sets of buttons that provide
customer-configurable buttons:
•
The 4×4 array of buttons on the upper left part of the panel.
•
The 3×4 array of buttons in the “Audio Monitoring” section at the upper right.
•
The rightmost buttons of the aux/user button row.
•
The entire preview/user button row.
•
The entire front row of buttons (except the transition button).
The buttons in these sections perform functions that are chosen by the person who configured
the panel.
Panels and Channels
Several panels (and automation) can control the same channel at the same time. When
someone else makes a change to a channel that you are also controlling, the changes are
reflected (insofar as possible) on your control panel. Similarly, changes you make are reflected
on all other panels that control the same channel.
This is not an issue if your system has been configured so that channels cannot be controlled by
more than one panel.
A single panel can control multiple channels. When it does, the channels are said to be ganged .
(The actions you perform on the main channel are also performed for the follower channels.)
Sharing vs. Preemption
Each control panel can be configured to share or not to share channels with other control
panels.
Each control panel is configured with a priority level for access non-shared access. Panels with
higher priority can preempt panels with lower priority and thereby gain access to the channel.
If your panel is configured for sharing, it will attempt to share a channel that is already in use. If
the channel is controlled by a panel that does not share and that has a higher priority than yours
has, the sharing attempt will fail.
If the sharing attempt succeeds, the panel operates normally. If it fails, you will be notified.
If your panel is not configured for sharing, when it attempts to acquire a channel, it can preempt
the other panel if yours has a higher priority. You will be asked for permission to preempt the
other panel. If the other panel has higher priority, the attempt to acquire the channel will fail
and you will be notified.
