Ops 3–6 • Using the Menu System Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD)
6. Main Areas
The main area of the menu is where the bulk of the information is displayed. This includes
helpful tips about using the menu, or information on the current state of the switcher. For
example, on the Main Menu 1-2 the main area provides the software version, whether the control
panel is a Master Panel or Satellite Panel, the video format that the switcher is currently operating
in, the input reference format, and the status of the Remote Enables and Video Correctors.
7. Navigation Areas
The navigation area of the menu contains up to six items that can be either a navigation button to
another menu, a toggle for a feature, or displays a sub-menu that changes the items in the
Selection Area.
• Navigation Buttons have a down pointing arrow next to the name, indicating that if you
select this item you will be taken to another menu.
• Toggle Buttons have a highlighted item beneath the title, indicating what is currently
active. This can be an on versus off, or one feature versus another. Turning a feature on
may also activate different option for the same menu.
• Option Buttons change the items currently available in the Selection Area, and the
Main Area. For example, selecting items in the Navigation Area of the
Communications Menu does not take you to another menu, but changes the items in the
Selection Area.
Using the Punchpad
When you select specific installation and operational menus, Punchpad Icons ( ) appear next to
the Selection Knobs (Figure 3.4), indicating that you can press the button next to the Selection
Knobs to use the Punchpad to enter values.
Figure 3.4 The Punchpad can be used to make selections on the menu system
When the punchpad icon is present, you can press the button next to the Selection Knob to
display the Punchpad (Figure 3.5). The Punchpad remains on screen until you close it or you
navigate away from the menu. Selecting another option on the menu, or pressing More does not
close the Punchpad.
