PixButtons for Executing with Confidence
Much of the versatility of the Broadcast Pix system is due to its unique picture
buttons, called PixButtons. Each has a small computer VGA display built into the
button, which has a resolution of 36x24 pixels. PixButtons are only available on
SoftPanels, 1000 and 2000 Controls Panels.
PixButtons show Information at a Glance
All PixButtons on the Broadcast Pix panel show information at a glance. They all
contain a device icon in their upper portion which shows which device is currently
active in that PixButton. In the illustration below, the Character Generator (CG) is
active, as shown by the CG icon. See Devices for all icons.
The remainder of the PixButton generally shows what individual content element is
now active on this device in this PixButton. In the illustration shown below the
content number and name is shown, which are the file name and number of this
content element when it was imported into the show memory system. As an
alternative, some PixButtons use a picture to convey content, as shown on the
next page.
