Misc Menu Operations

In the Misc menu, you can carry out the following operations.

• Enabling and disabling operation from an external device, System Manager,

or an editing keyboard.

• Enabling and disabling side flags on the background bus of each of the M/E-

1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST banks.

For the side flag function, see "Side Flags" (page 484).

• Switching the safe title function on or off for each switcher output.

• Displaying the transition rate, independent key transition rate, and fade-to-

black transition rate for each of the M/E and PGM/PST banks, and changing

the settings.

Enabling or disabling control from an external device

In the menu control block, press the top menu selection button [MISC],

then select VF1 'Enable' and HF1 'Port Enable.'

The Misc >Enable >Port Enable menu appears with the status area

showing the settings of the following ports.

• Switcher Remote1 to Remote4 ports (RS-422A, D-sub 9-pin)

• Switcher GPI port (parallel, 25-pin)

• DME1/DME2 Editor ports (RS-422A, D-sub 9-pin)

• DME1/DME2 GPI ports (parallel, 25-pin)

In the <Switcher> or <DME> group, press on the name of the port for

which you want to disable control from an external device, turning it off.

To re-enable control for the port, press on its name once more.

For the AUX bus operation from the Remote 1 to Remote 4 ports of the

switcher, the setting (Enable/Disable/Manual) in the Setup menu takes

precedence. Only when the setting is "Manual," the settings made in the

Port Enable menu apply.
