Personality Description
Editor Port Allow the switcher to be controlled by an external editor. The external editor can control the switcher to perform transitions, or recall memories, among the supported commands. This setting is for the frame.
  • On — allow the switcher to be controlled by an external editor.
  • Off — switcher ignores editor commands.
Button Brightness Set the overall brightness (0-100%) of all the buttons on any physical control panel connected to the switcher. This setting is unique to the control panel.
Flex Button Brightness Set the overall brightness (0-100%) of all the buttons on the Flex Control modules of the TD control panels. This setting is unique to the control panel.
Rate Have the switcher use frames or seconds for transition rates. Rates are entered and displayed in the select selected values. This setting is unique to the control panel.
  • Frames — transition rates are in frames.
  • Seconds — transition rates are in seconds.
Sleep Mode Have the switcher go into a sleep mode after a user-defined amount of time (Sleep Minutes) without user interaction. Touching any button, knob, or fader will wake the switcher. The switcher does not act on the button, knob, or fader control that wakes it from sleep mode. During sleep mode, video related hardware is not affected and video signals still pass through the switcher. This setting is unique to the control panel.
  • Power Save — all buttons and displays are turned off and as much power is conserved as possible.
  • Sleep — displays are turned off and buttons light in raindrop pattern.
Sleep Minutes The amount of time that the switcher waits without user input before going into sleep mode. Setting the value to 0 (Off) prevents the switcher from entering sleep mode. This setting is unique to the control panel.
Toggle Shift Have the Shift buttons either be latching (toggle) or momentary (off). When in toggle mode, you can press a shift button and then select a source on the shifted bus without having to hold down the shift button. This only affects the bus the shift button is on. This setting is unique to the control panel.
  • Off — Shift buttons only stay on as long as you are holding them down.
  • Toggle — when you press a Shift button it stays on until you press a source button on that bus.
Memory Bank Allows you to set how the BANK button behaves when pressed and released. This setting is unique to the control panel.
  • Normal — the keypad is used to enter the bank number directly, followed by the memory (For example, to access memory 3 on bank 2, press BANK > 2 > 3.)
  • Legacy — the next bank is selected every time the button is pressed, cycling through all banks (For example, to access bank 5, press BANK repeatedly until bank 5 is selected.)
Second Press Memory Undo A memory recall can be reversed by pressing the memory number a second time after a memory is recalled. This is the same as pressing the UNDO button, if present on your control panel. This setting is unique to the control panel.
  • Off — pressing the memory number again does not undo the recall.
  • On — pressing the memory number again undoes the last memory recall.
Memory Undo Button Allows you to enable or disable the UNDO button on the memory area of the control panel.
  • Enable — you can use the UNDO button to reverse the recall of a memory.
  • Disable — the UNDO button does not function.
Vertical Display Bus Source Have the switcher show the mnemonic names for the sources selected on a bus on the vertical Row Control display.
  • Show — show the mnemonic names (up to 10 characters) for the source selected on the bus shown on the vertical display at the end of the row.
  • Hide — don't show the mnemonic names on the vertical display.
CC Mnemonic Row How you want the mnemonics on each panel row to display the mnemonics for custom controls.
  • Off — the mnemonics don't change when the row is assigned to a custom control bank.
  • Split — the mnemonics are split (top to cc name and bottom to bus sources) when the row is assigned to a custom control bank.
  • Full — the mnemonics are show only the names of the custom controls when the row is assigned to a custom control bank.
Note: This setting is not available on the TDx Series control panels.
