Source Selection Crosspoint Buttons and Colored Mnemonics
The Masterpiece Control Surfaces has two rows of source selection buttons, the top being the
Program selection buttons and the lower being the Preview buttons (PGM/PVW).
A Bus button (crosspoint button) when pressed creates a matrix crosspoint, once setup
correctly, the circuit tells the mainframe to route the source to an output.
Masterpiece allows any physical input source, any Store or Matte to be mapped to any
crosspoint button.
The source selection buttons for each function form a crosspoint bus which is fundamentally a
switching matrix with the incoming signals forming the vertical parts of the matrix and the bus
outputs the horizontal parts.
There is a row of Mnemonics between the key bus and program/preset (A/B) Bus buttons. This
will display information relevant to the source allocated to each button. The mnemonics
provide a display of 64 pixels wide by 48 pixels high for each column of buttons.
