Chapter 3 • Using the System 4xi Front Panel

Default LCD Screen

When the System 4xi is powered up, a Title screen appears briefly, followed by the Default display. Examples are shown to the left. This manual covers different System 4xi models; an appropriate screen will appear displaying your model and software version.

The Default screen (shown to the right) will continue to display whenever the panel is not being used. It displays the current status of the input(s), with the following information:

Video Configuration

The top line displays which video input channel is selected and its Video Mode. The example shows that Video input #1 is selected, with RGB and Sync. Other modes are explained later. The Arrow to the left (® VID) indicates that video is being switched (not Breakaway).

Audio Configuration

The second line provides the current audio configuration. The example shows that Audio input #1 is selected and the arrow (® AUD) indicates that audio is being switched (Audio Follow). The gain/attenuation is set at 0 dB for that input.

Breakaway

As mentioned earlier, the Breakaway button allows Audio and Video to be separated. The three breakaway steps are: Video and Audio (both), Video only, and Audio only. The Default Display indicates this condition by turning off the arrow for the signal that is not being sent to the output.

Audio Mute

As stated on the previous page, the Audio Mute button temporarily turns the audio Off. The Default Display indicates this condition by alternately displaying the word "Muting" and the dB level.

When the default menu is being displayed, pressing a Front Panel button will then change the screen to display appropriate information. These LCD screens, or menus, are explained later.

System 4xi Model Differences

This chapter covers all both System 4xi models. Each model has different features, and a different Front Panel. Because the System 4LDxi and 4LQxi have the most features, page 3-1 shows a 4LDxi front panel; all System 4xi panels are shown below. The most obvious differences are in the number of Picture Control buttons. Other differences will appear when using the LCD menus.
