c Key bus selection buttons
KEY3 button: Press this button, turning it
on, to assign the key 1 cross-point
buttons to the key 3 fill bus.
KEY4 button: Press this button, turning it
on, to assign the key 2 cross-point
buttons to the key 4 fill bus.
Pressing one of the key delegation buttons
[KEY1] to [KEY4] in the transition control
block (standard type) twice in rapid
succession changes the state of the
corresponding one of these buttons, so that
you can make cross-point selections on the
key bus (see page 66).
d UTIL (utility) button
While this button is held down, the cross-
point buttons are assigned to the following
buses, respectively.
Background A row: utility 1 bus
Background B row: utility 2 bus
Key 1 row: DME external video bus
Key 2 row: DME utility 1 bus when the
[KEY4] button is off, or DME utility 2
bus when the [KEY4] button is lit.
In a Setup menu, you can select either of the
following two modes for these buttons.
• The button takes effect while being held
down.
• Every time the button is pressed, it
toggles between the on and off states for
key 1 and key 2 rows. For background A
and background B rows, utility buses
remain disabled.
e Source name displays
These show the names of the signals which
can be selected on the cross-point buttons,
in two or four characters, or in auto mode.
While the [SHIFT] button on the right hand
side or the [SHIFT] button assigned to the
column of cross-point buttons is enabled,
the source name of the signal assigned to
the column of cross-point buttons in shift
mode appears. You can select green,
orange, or yellow for the background color
of the source name display, for each source
separately. You can set the source name
display mode and background color in a
Setup menu.
f SHIFT button
When this button is enabled, either the
source name displays show the shifted
signal names, or the shifted signals for all
buses in this M/E (P/P) bank are enabled.
You can select either mode in a Setup
menu.
Each press of the button toggles between
the enabled and disabled states.
In the case of a module without source
name displays, when "Display" is selected
in the Setup menu, this button is invalid.
g M/E bank display
This indicates the notional mix/effect bank
name to which the particular M/E bank is
assigned, as a four-character identifier.
h Macro buttons
PRE MCRO (pre macro) button: Use this
button to set a macro attachment in pre
macro mode. For setting in macro only
mode, use this in combination with a
macro only set button assigned to the
utility/shotbox control block or a user
preference button. Alternatively,
without using the button, you can make
the selection simply, by pressing
simultaneously with the [PRE MCRO]
button.
Function of this button varies as
follows depending on the operation
mode selected in the Setup menu.
• Switching dual background bus
mode
• Switching utility/shotbox mode
• Disabling cross-point button
operations
