Assigning signals to cross-point button columns
Each row of cross-point buttons in the M/E banks, PGM/PST bank (3.5-M/E
systems only), and auxiliary bus bank includes 29 basic buttons for signal
assignment. It is also possible to assign a shift function to one button,
allowing a maximum total of 56 assignable signals. Using a setup menu
operation, you can assign any of the columns in either the unshifted or shifted
state to any of the signals from the INPUTS 1 to 60 connectors on the I/O
expansion unit (DVS-V6464M or HDS-X3600), or to various signals
generated internally by the switcher.
For the procedure for assignment, see page 14-63.
Although in principle the signal assignment is to a column of buttons, there
are cases in which a particular signal cannot be selected on a particular bus.
For details of the restrictions on selecting certain signals, see page 14-62.
Using the shift function
The 29 cross-point buttons in each row are numbered 0 to 28. Normally the
rightmost button is the shift button; the buttons to which signals are assigned
are then numbered 0 to 27 in the unshifted state, and 30 to 57 in the shifted
state.
To select the signal corresponding to the unshifted state, press the required
button alone; to select the signal corresponding to the shifted state, hold
down the shift button, then press the required button. Note that for the
auxiliary bus bank there is the dedicated SHIFT button, and even when not
using the 29th button as a shift button, holding down the SHIFT button and
pressing a cross-point button selects one of the second set of signals.
It is also possible, using a setup menu operation, to switch the shift button to
be the leftmost button instead of the rightmost. In this case the assignable
signals are numbered 1 to 28 and 31 to 58. You can also use a setup menu
operation so that the shift button acts as a "shift lock" button.
All shift function settings are carried out in a setup menu (see page 14-66).
