Hot Take Key

For a panel, a Hot Take Key is a data key configured such that pressing
the key causes a switch to the panels current destination using the source
assigned to the hot take key. (Some panels do not have this capability.)
On the Win3300, the Hot Take Key is a key on the control screen that
allows a switch to be taken by double clicking the mouse on a source
entry.

Index

Single alphanumeric characters that are used in conjunction with
categories to build reentry, source and destination names. Indices follow
categories. 0, 1, or 2 indices in any combination can follow a category to
build a name. (The index '0' always exists.) An example of index use is
the use of the numbers 0-9 as indices which could be used with the
category VTR to construct the names such as VTR 1, VTR 2, VTR 3, VTR
12, etc.

Level Of Control

The lowest level of switching given to the user. A level of control
corresponds to a set of signals that should always be specified together
for breakaway or follow switches. (e.g. RGB video).

Lock

A property placed on a destination that prevents all users from taking a
switch on the destination. Locks may be cleared by the requester that
initiated the lock, a requester of a higher lock/protect priority, or a master
requester.

Lock/Protect Priority

These are used to determine which panels and CPU link users are
allowed to clear locks and protects placed on destinations. Panels and
CPU links are given a lock/protect priority number of 0 to 255. The lower
the number, the higher the priority. Master users are given a lock priority
of 0 which allows them to clear any lock or protect on the controller.
