Octaire Control Panel Operation

Menus & Modes

The Function menu and its submenus access the modes and functions used to control the system. The modes are Change, Virtual Matrix, Status, Disconnect, Setup Options, Lock Panel, Adjust Audio, and Global Preset. While in a mode, the same command can be repeated, without having to return to the Function menu to reselect the mode e.g., when in Mute Mode you can select various outputs to mute and un-mute.

Use the Control Dial and Select Key to navigate the Function menu, and submenus. The Function menu and the submenus are loop menus, which means that each menu returns to the first item after you scroll past the last item.

The Function menu (see right) and its submenus access the following modes and functions:

Change

 

Selecting Change places the system in Change Mode. The Control Panel

 

must be in Change Mode to execute switches. While in Change Mode,

select the Input and Output(s) Keys followed by the Take Key to execute

 

switches (see page 47).

 

Virtual Matrix

Selecting the Virtual Matrix Mode accesses the three routing levels (virtual matrices) supported by the Octaire that route audio-follow-video signals (All), breakaway video signals (Video), and breakaway audio signals (Audio). While in the Virtual Matrix Mode, the virtual matrix / routing level needed to perform operations can be changed (see page 48).

Status

Selecting Status places the system in Status Mode. While in Status Mode, signal routing or routing to multiple outputs can be confirmed without risk of accidentally executing a switch (see page 50).

Disconnect

Selecting Disconnect places the system in Disconnect Mode. While in Disconnect Mode, select the Input or Output Key(s) followed by the Take Key to disconnect switches (see page 49). While in Disconnect Mode, the Control Panel does not indicate the current routing of selected inputs or outputs.

Setup Options

Selecting Setup Options (see page 59) accesses the Setup Options submenu to check the Software Version, change the Default virtual matrix, to enable VIS (Vertical Interval Sync), reload the configuration file (when directed by technical support), and change the password.

Lock Panel

Selecting Lock Panel places the panel in Lock Mode at which time the password is entered to lock the panel. Locking the Control Panel limits access which can prevent accidental switches (see page 57).

Adjust Audio

Selecting Adjust Audio accesses the Adjust Audio submenu. From this menu you can place the panel in Output Volume Mode, Mute/Unmute Mode, or Input Gain Mode (see page 53).

Global Preset

Selecting Global Preset accesses the Global Preset submenu to Execute Global Presets or Define Global Presets (see page 51).
