Octaire Control Panel Operation

Control Keys & 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 menu options and adjusts values, such as volume. The Control Dial is used in conjunction with the Select Key to choose commands and values on the LCD and change routing levels between All (audio-follow-video), Video, and Audio.

Input & 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 and audio 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., Output 3: O_Ch:0003) 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:

Blue key – indicates the input or output can be selected as part of the current operation.

White or flashing white key – indicates an input or output has been selected and that further action is required to complete the operation. When verifying Status, the key corresponding to the selected input or output is white; keys that correspond to the connected input or outputs 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., Input Keys are unavailable when the panel is in Output Volume Mode. Some keys are never illuminated if the switcher’s configuration size is not a full 64x64.

FIG. 31 shows various keys states while in Change Mode. Input Key 45 is flashing white, indicating that input was selected first. Outputs Keys 14 and 15 are white, indicating that those outputs have also been selected (and can be unselected). The switch from Input 45 to Outputs 14 and 15 will be executed when the Take Key is pressed. Note that the keys in the row of Inputs 49 through 64 are not available.
