9. Positioner

The positioner is used to position and size keys in the DVE, control some wipe, border, and wash parameters, as well as control some external devices.

The HOLD and RESET buttons are used to lock the positioner to the current assignment (HOLD) or used with other panel buttons to reset different areas (RESET).

The TD3 and TD4 panels have an additional set of user selectable buttons, the same as on the Flex Control area. The functions that can be assigned to the buttons depends on the switcher the panel is connected to.

The default user button assignments differ between Carbonite and Acuity®. All the user buttons can be assigned to different functions.
