Unit Config
General
Preset Name:
Enter a name for the preset to be shown on the top line of the CCS-2 display.
Preset Description:
Enter a description for the current preset to be displayed on the bottom line of
the CCS-2 display.
Run at Startup:
Define a Macro for the CCS-2 to run at startup. Without this defined, or recalling an
empty macro at startup, the unit may be in an undefined state until there is user interaction. See
Macros
for more information about defining a Macro.
Video HPD Function:
Defines the Hot Plug Detect (HPD) functionality of the video switchover boards.
HPD is a feature of a display-computer connection to allow the computer graphics card to detect
when a monitor has been connected or disconnected, allowing the OS to resize screens, reorder
window displays etc.
When in “Normal (Display Controlled)” mode, the CCS
-2 will act as simple pass through from the
display’s HPD connection back to the computer, allowing the 2 devices to communicate as if the
monitor was connected directly to the computer graphics card.
When in “Hold (CCS
-
2 Controlled)”,
the CCS-2 will override the HPD signal from the monitor
preventing the computer graphics card from seeing the removal signal when the video board
switches to the alternate input. In most cases this speeds up the switchover process as the graphics
card no longer needs to communicate with the monitor about screen sizes etc, at each reconnect,
and helps to ensure window placements are not altered when switched. Note that some newer
operating systems attempt to communicate with the display on a more regular basis, and as such
will still detect the display has been removed as no valid EDID data will be returned from the display
in this condition.
In either mode, the HPD signal will always reflect the state of the display when it is physically
disconnected from the CCS-2.
MIDI Channel Override:
MIDI events within a preset may be defined on several different MIDI
channels. This may be undesirable in some conditions where conflicts may occur with other MIDI
devices, and whilst the optimum solution is to update the preset, a simple solution is to set an
