Control Keys and Dial (continued)
Take Key
The Take Key functions much like the Enter Key on a computer keyboard. Pressing the Take Key instructs the
system to execute or disconnect a switch. Prior to pressing the Take Key, the individual operation component(s)
are selected by pressing the appropriate key(s).
Control Dial
The Control Dial scrolls through the menu options and adjusts values. The Control Dial is used in conjunction
with the Select Key to choose the commands and values on the LCD and change virtual matrices between standard
virtual matrix configurations and any custom virtual matrices.
Input and Output Keys
Input and Output Keys correspond to the input and output connections on the rear of the enclosure. These keys are
used to select the inputs and outputs for routing source signals to destination devices, as well as for status
operations. Input Keys are also used for locking and unlocking the Control Panel.
When an Input or Output Key is pressed, the channel name (e.g., O_Ch:0003 for Output 3) displays on the LCD.
Hold the key down to display the name longer.
The color of the Input and Output Keys indicate availability or selection:

FIG. 66 shows various keys states while in Change Mode. Input Key 19 is flashing white, indicating that input was
selected first. Outputs Keys 4 and 5 are white, indicating that those outputs have also been selected (and can be
unselected). The switch from Input 19 to Outputs 4 and 5 will be executed when the Take Key is pressed. Note that
Keys 21 through 24 in the second row of inputs are not available.

Blue key – indicates the input or output is available for selection as part of the current operation.
White or flashing white key – indicates an input or output has been selected and that additional action is
required to complete the operation. When verifying Status, the key corresponding to the selected input or
output is white; a key(s) for the input or outputs that are connected to the selected key turn white. When a key
is flashing white, it cannot be unselected and does not display label information on the LCD when pressed.
Select another key or press the Cancel Key to unselect.
Non-illuminated key – indicates the input or output is not available for the current operation, e.g., if the
enclosure's configuration size is not a full 32x32, some keys are always unavailable (never illuminated)
because they do not have a corresponding connector on the rear.
