MultiPanel Operation
MultiPanel allows you to connect up to nine Vision control panels to a QMD/X, or MD/X, frame
(Figure 4.19). Connected to each frame there is a single Master Panel, and up to eight Satellite
Panels.
Figure 4.19 MultiPanel Overview
Each MultiPanel system is made up of a single (1) Master Panel, and up to eight (8) Satellite
Panels, all connected to a single frame. The frame provides the MLEs that are assigned to each
control panel. This MLE assignment is done on the Master Panel from the MultiPanel
Configuration Menu, and can be viewed on Satellite Panels. You can assign one, or all, MLEs to
each control panel in the system. The highest number MLE assigned to a control panel is the
Program MLE for that control panel, and is tallied for that panel. The highest number MLE
assigned to any control panel in the system is the Program MLE that has the MultiDSK, Half
MLE, and Preview Overlay options.
For More Information...
• on assigning MLEs to panel and setting a Program MLE, refer to the section
“MultiPanel Setup” on page Eng 4-10.
Using MultiPanel with External Panel Rows
In a MultiPanel configuration, the sixteen external panel rows are shared across all panels
connected to the frame. This means that when you assign an external module, such as a SideBox,
to an external panel row, it is assigned to that external panel row on all control panels connected
to the frame. In the case of a Shot Box SideBox, all the SideBoxes on the same external panel row
have the same custom control shot box page assigned to them. The content of each custom control
shot box page can be unique to each control panel.
