Panel Rows
A Panel Row is used to select video sources for the
Background, Preset and Keyers of the ME, Aux Bus, or
AuxKey that the panel row is assigned to. Each Panel
Row is made up of four buses of source buttons, Keyers
Module, Memory Module, and Transition Module by
default. The functionality of each of these components
depends on what the Panel Row is assigned to, an ME
or Aux Bus for example.
The number of crosspoint buttons and modules that are
assigned to the Panel Row depends on how the individual
modules are mapped. What each row is assigned to is
shown on the mnemonic button to the right of the source
button row.
Note: If you do not have the Double-Down control panel, the
display to the right of the source buttons shows what the button
rows are assigned to, and there is only a single key bus.
Tip: To quickly assign a button row to a bus on the Double-Down
panel, press and hold one of the mnemonic buttons and select
the source button that corresponds to the bus you want to assign
the button row to. When you press and hold the mnemonic
button, the mnemonics for that button row show what bus each
source button is assigned to.
Tip: To quickly assign a button row to a bus on the standard
panel, press and hold the SEL button and use the source buttons
on the background and key bus to select which ME, key, or aux
you want to assign the row to.
Tip: You can assign a particular Aux Bus to a Quick Preset to
allow it to be quickly selected. Select the Aux Bus you want to
assign, press Assign As Preset and then press the preset button
on the left that you want to assign it to.
Assigning a Panel Row to an ME
Each panel row can be assigned to any ME that the
control panel has permission to. The number of MEs you
have to assign depends on the ME options you have
purchased, and the hardware you have installed.
Assigning panel rows to different MEs does not change
the default ME mapping.
Keep the following in mind:
Keep the following in mind when assigning a panel row
to an ME:
• If you assign a Panel Row to a different ME, the
accompanying Transition, Keyers, and Memory
Modules are also assigned to that ME.
• If you assign an ME to an External Panel Row that
has an Auxiliary Control Panel on it, the Auxiliary
Control Panel will remain assigned to the selected
Aux Bus. ME assignments do not apply to Auxiliary
Control Panels.
• If an ME is not assigned to your control panel, you
cannot select it.
• If the Assign ME personality option is set to Off, you
cannot assign a different ME to a panel row.
To Assign a Row to an ME
1. Press the SEL button (mnemonic button on the
Double-Down) on the panel row you want to assign
to an ME.
Tip: You can also press and hold the SEL button and use
the source buttons on the background and key bus to select
which ME, key, or aux you want to assign the row to.
2. Press Assign ME.
3. Press button for the internal (Row X) or external
(Extern Row X) that you want to assign to the ME.
Internal rows are the physical rows on the control
panel, as well as Auxiliary Control Panels assigned
as internal rows. External rows are Auxiliary Control
Panels that are assigned as external rows.
4. Press the button for the ME (ME X) that you want
the panel row assigned to.
