Sub-Tables - Sony MVS -8000X Quick Setup Manual

Sub-Tables

The left table is a list of all the parts of the switcher that can have crosspoint tables assigned. Typically
they are all going to be set the same. If this is a factory default, then they are all likely set to MAIN
(that's the second column on the left table). We absolutely, positively DO NOT want them (any of them)
set to MAIN. MAIN is the back of our fictitious patch-panel. If we leave MAIN assigned, it means if an
operator wants to change a button they have to mess with the V/K pair assignments – or the back of our
fictitious patch-panel – a big no, no. However, if we set the switcher areas to use TABLE1 instead,
operators can freely change crosspoint mappings without changing the main table. Why? Because
Tables 1-14 are just pointers to the main table – the front of our "patch panel".
