used for inputs that are patched or routed. Engineering names are entered in the Eng
Setup Source Definition menu, as described above. Engineering source IDs are numeric
only, and are available on data pads and scroll knobs for quick selection. The GV K-Frame
XP system also has logical IDs, that can be used for source patching, as explained later.
Alternative Source Names
Alternative names can be assigned to sources for the convenience of production personnel.
For example, you may give the cameras menu names that include the operator (C1 Bob,
C2 Phil, and C3 Bill), but remove the operator names from the OLED names to show C1, C2,
and C3 in larger characters. These alternative names are entered in the Source Patch menu.
The User Setups, Suite Prefs, Source Patch menu has three editable columns for defining up
to three alternative names:
A
Panel Name is limited to four characters, to fit the space available on the Control Panel’s
Transition Module. This name is only displayed on the Control Panel.
An
OLED Name appears only on the Source Name Displays on the Control Panel. Up to
eight characters are displayed.
A
Menu Name is limited to eight characters, and appears on all the GV Switcher menu
application screens except Engineering Setup menus, which always display engineering IDs
or names.
Multiple Suites and Source Names
Different sets of these alternative source names are defined for each GV K-Frame XP suite.
Ensure the GV Switcher menu application you are using is logged into the correct suite
(
Eng Setup, Eng Login). The same set of engineering names will be used by all suites,
however.
Name Display Hierarchy
If a source’s engineering name is left blank, the Eng ID number will be used. If no alternative
names are defined for that source, then that Eng ID number will appear on all the switcher
system displays.
If an engineering name has been entered, then the engineering name will be shown on all
switcher system displays, including menus. Engineering names will be truncated to the
character limits of the display, starting with the first character.
For alternative names entered in the User Setups, Suite Prefs, Source Patch menu, the
following rules apply:
For the three editable columns:
Panel Name, OLED Name, and Menu Name, if any of the
three are left blank for that source, the first name to the left appears in that display on the
system (if all three are left blank, the name in the Eng. Source Column is displayed). For
example, if an alternative name is entered in the OLED Name column for a source and the
other two columns remain blank, the Menu Name takes the OLED Name (OLED Name being
first to the left of the Menu Name) but the Panel Name takes the Eng. Source column’s name
