Setting an action
Control of P-Bus Devices
You can control P-Bus (Peripheral II protocol) devices
from this system through the switcher Remote 1 to Remote
4 ports or DCU 9-pin serial port.
P-Bus device control modes
There are two modes of P-Bus device control, as follows.
Trigger:
Operating a previously specified button outputs
the command for an action assigned to that button.
Timeline:
Carrying out a keyframe effect under the
control of the control panel controls external devices.
In the Setup menu, select which of Trigger mode and
Timeline mode to use.
You can set the following actions (set what action
command is output to which device) in either mode.

Creating and Editing the P-Bus
Timeline
At a keyframe point on the P-Bus timeline, you can set an
action. At any single keyframe point you can set actions
for a maximum of 24 devices.
For details about keyframe creation and editing
operations,
“Creating and Editing Keyframes”
For the action setting (or P-Bus timeline editing), use the
Device menu.
You can save the data set in the Device menu in keyframe
effect registers. Recalling the register starts execution of
the keyframe effect, and when this reaches the keyframe
point at which actions are set, action commands are output
to external devices through the 9-pin serial port assigned to
P-Bus.
