About Multiple Device Control
To place the Multi-Function Module in Multiple Device Control mode, press the Devs
button from the HOME position, then press the MULT button located below and right of the
joystick on the Multi-Function Module (directly below the
Sngl button).
Devices are configured using the Panel Prefs, Panel User Interactions menu. Eight external
devices of the 32 possible can be controlled from the Multi-Function Module in the Multiple
Device mode. Each device name is displayed above the assigned button (D1, D2, D3, etc.).
The
PLAY, CUE, and STOP command buttons tally as follows:
• PLAY button high tallies green while playing and high tallies red when on air.
• ST
OP button high tallies when stopped, and the
• Cue button high tallies when the current timecode for the device matches Mark In.
About Creating a Gang
To create a gang in Multiple Device Control mode, toggle any of the configured device
buttons (device name). Device buttons toggle between high tally and low tally. All devices
in high tally are part of the gang. Toggling to low tally removes the device from the gang. A
gang can be immediately canceled by pressing the soft knob (Gang Cancel), second from
the top in the Multi-Function Module.
Once a gang is created (more than one device is high tally), buttons
GCUE (Gang Cue,
causes a gang to cue) and
GPLAY (Gang Play, causes a gang to play) appear below the
joystick.
The first soft knob from the top controls the Auto Cancel function which has two states,
Pressing an individual PLAY, CUE, or STOP button causes only the selected device to
respond to the command. This is beneficial for example if a director calls for a device to be
individually controlled.
