MultiPanel
You can connect one master panel and up to eight satellite
panels to a single frame. Each of the control panels can
control some, or all, of the MEs. Only the Master Panel
supports all device control or OverDrive
®
.
MultiPanel Setup
To set up a MultiPanel system, you must configure the
network settings on each of the control panels and frame.
Refer to
on page 15 for
more information. Once the frame and control panels are
able to communicate, you must assign MEs to the control
panels and set up permissions.
The ME assignment sets which MEs a specific control
panel has access to, and can control. The highest number
ME assigned to a control panel is the program ME for
that control panel. This ME is tallied for the control panel.
The highest number ME assigned to a control panel in
the entire switcher is the Program ME for the switcher.
This is the ME that has the Mix/DSK and Preview
Overlay options.
The Program and Preview outputs for the switcher are
locked to the highest ME assigned to the switcher. If you
are using different Program MEs for different control
panels, you must assign an output BNC to the ME
Program and ME Preview outputs for that ME.

MultiPanel Operation
Keep the following in mind when working with a
MultiPanel configuration:
•
All control panels share the same Bus Maps, but
which Bus Maps are assigned to each ME is specific
to the panel. For example, on Satellite Panel 1 you
can assign Bus Map 5 to ME. On Satellite Panel 4
you can also assign Bus Map 1 to ME 3, as long as
both panels have ME 3 assigned to them.
•
If you want the Program ME of a panel to tally, and
it is not the highest numbered ME, then you must set
that ME to tally on that panel. Control panel tallies
are control panel specific.
•
The fade to black only affects the MEs that are
assigned to the control panel that the fade to black is
performed on, and that fade to black is turned on for.
Each control panel has a unique fade to black rate,
but which MEs that fade to black is turned on for is
common across all control panels.
•
The highest number ME assigned to each panel is
tallied as the Program ME by default.
•
Custom controls only record actions for the MEs that
are assigned to the control panel that the custom
control is being recorded on. If that custom control
is run on a different control panel, with different MEs
assigned to it, the custom control still performs
actions on the MEs that were assigned to the original
control panel.
•
Only the Master panel has permission to access the
Frame Diagnostics
menu.
