DEST SELECTION
Enable/disable destination change from the unit.
1: DISABLE
Destination changing is disabled. When the unit is mainly
used for source selection, and the destination need not be
changed, select "DISABLE." This prevents the
destination from being erroneously changed.
2: ENABLE
Destination changing is enabled.
ILLUMINATION LEVEL
The brightness of button illumination can be changed in 8
levels (1 to 8). Select an appropriate setting for the
ambient conditions.
The higher the value, the brighter the illumination.
MONITOR DESTINATION (MKS-8082 only)
When the destination to be monitored has been specified at
the terminal, the monitor display panel automatically
selects the source for that destination when the monitor
function is ON.
With the conventional monitor system, the output to be
monitored is divided to return to an input (reentry), as
shown below.
The monitor function of this unit enables monitoring on a
software basis without using any physical crosspoints.
Conventional monitor system
To use the monitor function, it is necessary to set a Monitor
button using menu item N.
For details on the monitor button, see "Menu Item N: SET
PANEL TABLE (for Router mode)" on page 23.
Setting method:
Enter the destination name to be monitored.
In the same manner as with menu item N, entry can be
made either with its Type + Number name or description
name.

SOURCE OFFSET (MKS-8082 only)
When the monitor function is on, monitoring is possible
while adding an offset specified in this item for the number
of the source to be monitored.
Normally use "0."
Example of use: Monitoring an HD source on a
standard system
To monitor an HD source on a standard system, it is
necessary to down-convert HD signals. Adding a certain
offset can monitor these down-converted signals.

Setting method
Using the numeric keys, enter an offset value.
0: To take the same source as that for the destination to be
monitored
1 to 1023: To take a source by adding the specified offset
CONTROL LEVELS
Normally use all in the "-" state.
In this condition, the levels activated on the primary station
are used for each destination.
To use the unit for example as an audio-only panel, set
only the required levels to ON.
Setting method
To use a certain level from the remote control unit, set the
cursor to the position of the level (e.g. the third "-" from
the left for level 3) and press [Enter].
Its number indicates the activated level.
Each time you press [Enter], ON (the level number
indicated) and OFF ("-" indicated) are toggled.
When all levels are set to "-," switching is achieved
according to the levels set on the primary station.
The levels specified here can be selected regardless of the
LEVEL MODE setting (previous page).
