Menu System
The menu system allows you to set up the
switcher, interface with external equipment,
set up and perform complex shots or sequences,
and record and edit custom controls.
The menu system is set up with a branching
architecture, with the Main Menu as the starting
point of all menus. This is the menu that is
displayed when you press the
Home
button.
From the Main Menu you can move down the
tree by selecting one of the buttons along the
bottom of the menu, or you can move laterally
to additional pages of the menu by pressing the
More
button. You can tell when there are
additional pages to a particular menu by the
title of the menu, whether it is page 1-3 or 3-3,
and whether the
More
button is lit or not.
Using the Menu System
1.
Top Menu — This menu region can be used
to park a menu that you want to be able to
access often, such as the Sequences menu
when you are building a sequence.
2.
Bottom Menu — This menu region is the
primary menu navigation point in the
switcher. This is the menu region that
auto-follows button presses and is the only
menu region available when you are in
certain calibration menus.
3.
Quick Navigation — This region has a
number of buttons that have been
pre-programmed to jump to specific menus.
Tip:
When you enter the Installation menu, the switcher goes
into a safe configuration, or locked mode. In this mode you
cannot use the control panel to select sources, perform
transitions, recall memories, or run custom controls, among
other things. Press Swap to move the Installation menu up into
the top menu region to return the switcher to normal operation.
The menu system allows you to access all of the
setup and configuration information of the
switcher. In some cases, a menu can be accessed
either by navigating from the Main Menu, by
pressing a button on the control panel that the
menu system will auto-follow to, or by pressing
one of the quick navigation buttons to the left
of the menu region.
The Main Menu can always be accessed by
pressing the
Home
button on the left side of the
menu region. This is the start location where all
of the menu trees branch off from. Each menu
can have multiple pages that are accessed by
pressing the
More
button at the bottom right of
the menu region. The number of pages in a
menu is shown in the top left of the menu region
next to the name. For example, the Main Menu
(1-2) indicated that there are two pages to this
menu and that you are currently on page one.
The buttons along the bottom of the menu
region are either available selections for the
current menu or will take you to a sub-menu.
The buttons that will take you to a sub-menu
have a down-arrow. When you have navigated
down to a sub-menu, you can press
Up One
to
go up one layer.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with the
menu navigation buttons.
