Custom Controls
Once programmed, a custom control can be played back
by pressing a button. The custom control can be as simple
as triggering an output GPI pulse, or as complex as
recalling a specific memory register on an ME,
performing a switcher transition, and selecting a group
of keys.
Note:
The C10 does not support recording or running custom
controls from the control panel. Custom controls can be recorded
and run from the Custom Control node in DashBoard.
You can record, edit, and run custom controls from the
Custom Control node in DashBoard.
Custom Control Setup
The custom control interface on your switcher can be
customized to show custom control names on the
mnemonics just below the Custom Control bus, or
automatically add delays between each custom control
event as you are recording a custom.
