Menu System Basics
The menu system on the Vision switcher allows you to set up the switcher, interface with external
equipment, set up and perform complex shots or sequences, and record and edit custom controls.
The menu system is set up with a branching architecture, with the Main Menus as the starting
point of all menus. This is the menu that is displayed when you press the HOME button next to a
display region. Pressing the HOME button next to a display region shows the Main Menu 1-2 in
that display region. The other display region remains the same. If you do not have the
Touchscreen Display, you must use the Home Quick Navigation button to navigate to the Main
Menu 1-2.
From the Main Menus you can move down the tree by selecting one of the other menus in the
Navigation Area, or you can move laterally to additional pages of the menu by pressing the
More button. Pressing the More button on a display region displays the Main Menu 2-2 in that
display region. The other display region remains the same.
You can tell when there are additional pages to a particular menu by the title of the menu, whether
it is page 1-3 or 3-3, and whether the More button is lit or not. If the More button is not grayed
out, that indicates that there are additional pages to the current menu that are not displayed.
The touchscreen allows you to show two independent menus at once. By default, the lower region
is main auto-follow menu for the switcher, and the upper region is a user mountable menu. For
example, you can mount the Global-Store Menu on the upper region and use the bottom region
for normal operation (Figure 3.2). This will allow you to manage the Global-Store Menu
without having to navigate to the menu every time.

Every menu on the switcher has the same layout, with a Menu Title, Main Area, Selection Area
and Navigation Area (Figure 3.3).
