System Options
Options are typically ordered when the switcher is purchased. However, if you are not
100% certain which options you will need in the future, you don’t need to feel pressured
into making that decision today. All of our options can be easily installed in the field.
You can take comfort in knowing that options can be purchased as your needs develop
and that installation at your site will be a smooth process.

MD-X Live Production Engine
S35MDX-007
(Rack Frame Only)
This option is for those with an existing Synergy 4 control panel who wish to upgrade
their rack frame to an MD-X system. The rack frame comes equipped with everything that
is included in the base Synergy 3.5 MD-X electronics. Options must be added as required.
Mnemonics Controller Board Set
S35MDX-005
This pair of circuit boards is a prerequisite for mnemonics on the Synergy 4 MD-X control
panel. Together, they control all of the mnemonic displays in the switcher. Note that this
option is ordered once per switcher to enable mnemonics across the entire control panel.
Mnemonics for MLE Sources
S35MDX-x05
This option puts 35 mnemonic indicators for the display of source names directly above
the program (background) bus of the MLE selected. Note that “x” in the option number
can be 1, 2, 3, or 4 corresponding to MLE 1 though 4. Any combination of MLEs can
have mnemonics installed either in the factory, or retrofitted in the field.
Source names can be displayed in three formats, and all formats can be intermixed on a
single bus as desired:
•
8 character mnemonics. The full eight-character source name is displayed in two lines,
in either small or normal font. If the shift button is pressed, the display changes to
the shifted source name.
