Ross Vision - Buttons

Ops 4–38 • Switcher Basics Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD)
Buttons
The Positioner Module has three buttons that allow you to default the position of key, pattern, or
menu selected, link the positioner to multiple elements so that it will control them all at once, and
lock the positioner to a specific element. The buttons on this module are as follows:
• HOLD — This button locks the Positioner Module to the element that it is currently
controlling. When locked (held), the button is lit, and the Positioner Module does not act
on the normal auto follow commands, such as when you select a robotic camera.
• LINK — This button allows you to add and remove elements that are being controlled by
the Positioner Module. To add an element, press and hold the LINK button, and then
press the SEL or crosspoint button for the element you want to add. The LINK button
lights if more than one element is being controlled by the Positioner Module. If you
select another element that the Positioner Module would auto follow, the current link
settings are lost. An example of linking would be to link two flying keys together from
separate Keyers. Double-press the LINK button on the Positioner Module to display the
Positioner Menu.
Positioner Menu
Operating Tip — To remove an item that is currently linked to the positioner, select it on the
Positioner Menu and press Remove Selection.
• CLEAR — The Clear, or default, button can be used to center the position and location
of a flying key, or what is selected on a keyer, MLE, or Aux Bus.
› Defaulting Fly Keys — Defaulting a flying key puts the key back to the starting
position. To default a flying key, select the key you want to default, it is shown on the
display, and press the CLEAR button.
› Defaulting Panel Row — Defaulting a Panel Row clears all the selections on the
buses and sets the Panel Row to the default state.
› Default Current — Pressing the CLEAR button without holding another defaults
whatever the Positioner Module is currently controlling.
• Positioner Button — The button on the top of the positioner is used to cycle through
what the Positioner Module is controlling. The options for what the positioner can
control is shown on the second line of the display. When you press the button, the names
switch. What you are controlling is always shown on the left side on the display.
