Menu Item H: SET PHANTOM TABLE
(for Router mode)
Purposes
Menu item H enables you to specify a phantom function to
switch multiple crosspoints at a time using a source select
button in RTR mode on the remote control unit.
Types and functions of phantom
This control unit can use three phantom functions: "global
phantom" registered in the primary station, "local
phantom" registered in each control unit, and "destination-
offset local phantom" to use a substitute for destination
selection.
Global phantom
The global phantom allows you to switch up to 2,800
crosspoints by pressing a single button. This function may
be used to switch crosspoints defined for a common
phantom with two or more control units.
Note
The global phantom is set on the primary station, so the
routing function does not work in synchronization with it.
To activate the route display function in conjunction with
the global phantom function, all crosspoints to be switched
must be set as phantoms.
Local phantom
The local phantom allows you to switch multiple
crosspoints by pressing a single button, or to switch
crosspoints independently from destinations controlled on
the unit. Up to 64 crosspoints can be set on the unit.
Destination-offset local phantom
The destination-offset local phantom sets the destination
of the local phantom to a substitute parameter such as
"(DST + n)," where "n" is a value for an offset from the
connector number of the destination. "DST" is
automatically substituted with the connector number of the
destination selected for phantom switching. For example,
if the destination is OUT005, the connector number of the
destination is 015, and the offset value is 2 (n = 2),
destination 017 is switched.
To execute the destination offset local phantom, first select
and check the destination.
Examples of use of this phantom function are given on
page 23.
