    - 0dB Audio Fader Location
      Sets the 0dB location for audio faders. This is the point where the you want the slider to signal the audio mixer that it is at 0dB.
    - Assign ME
      Allows you to disable the ability to assign a control panel row to a different ME. The control panel row will be locked to the currently assigned ME.
    - Audio Cut Only
      Sets whether audio transitions occur at the same rate as the video transition, or whether the audio transitions cut. Note that this is not a true cut as the speed that one channel is taken off-air and the next channel is take on-air depends on the Audio Mixer.
    - Audio Transition
      Depending on how you want audio transitions to be performed, you can set up the switcher so that it will either perform an audio transition when a transition is performed on any ME, or only when a transition is performed on an on-air ME.
    - Auto Key Alpha
      Allows you to select how the switcher treats the alpha when the internally generated Black is assigned to an auto key.
    - Auto Recall
      Sets whether or not the switcher includes switcher settings, such as Keys Only, Effects Dissolve, on or off and DVE wipe settings, with the memory.
    - Auto Remove Key
      Sets whether the switcher removes a Keyer from the Next Transition after that keyer has been transitioned off-air from the Keyers Module. For example, Key 2 is on-air and it is selected as part of the next transition on the Transition Module. If you cut or dissolve key 2 off-air from the Keyers Module, key 2 will be de-selected for the next transition on the Transition Module. If key 2 was the only selected item for the next transition, the background will be selected instead.
    - Aux Bus Names
      Allows you to select whether the switcher uses the aux bus number or name in the menu system and bus map.
    - Aux Bus Row Follow
      Allows the key bus on a control panel row to automatically switch to aux bus control when an aux is selected on an Auxiliary Control Panel assigned to the same internal panel row.
    - Aux Bus Source
      Allows you to select whether the switcher uses the aux bus name and source, or only the name.
    - Bank 0 Lit
      Sets whether or not the BANK button on the Memory Modules is lit when bank 0 is selected.
    - BKGD Double Press
      Allows you to have a double-press of the BKGD or KEY X button on a Transition Module set up the next transition to take the keys off-air. Double-press the BKGD button to select background and all on-air keys as part of the next transition. Double-press any KEY X button to select all on-air keys as part of the next transition, and not include background.
    - CC/Macro Attachments
      Sets whether or not custom controls that are attached to control panel buttons using the Attach Custom Controls Menu are run when the button is pressed.
    - CB1/2 Panel Enable
      Sets whether or not the FTP server required to connect to the Carbonite Black control panel connection is enabled.
    - CC Global Recall
      Sets whether or not the RECALL CLIP/CC button on the Global Memory module can be used to run a custom control.
    - CC Held/Paused Display
      Sets whether the mnemonic of a custom control show Held or Pause when the custom control is at that state (Held/Paused), only shows the name of the custom control (CC Name), or shows both the Held or Paused and the name of the custom control (Both).
    - CC Memory State
      Sets whether the Effects Dissolve and Keys Only settings of a memory are used when the memory is recalled with a custom control. Recalling the memory directly is not affected. This allows the custom control to recall a single memory and override the Effects Dissolve and Keys Only on or off settings of how the memory was stored. This setting overrides the Auto Recall personality option.
    - Chroma Key Mem Use
      Sets whether the Key Memory (KEY MEM) function will recall the chroma key settings or just the key source.
    - Clear Bus Hold on All-All
      Sets whether or not the Bus Hold selection on a bus is cleared when a soft-reset is performed.

    - Editor Trans Rates
      Sets whether transition rates that are set from an external editor are doubled or not.
    - ExCamMoveOnTrans
      Allows you to select whether the camera move will be triggered with a transition or not.

      Allows you to select whether memories are recalled on the MEs that they were recorded on, or whether they are recalled on MEs relative to the PGM ME.
    - Global Mem Num Entry
      Sets whether the keypad on the Global Memory module on the Acuity® panels, or the Memory area on the highest numbered ME on the TouchDrive panels can be used to enter punchpad values.
    - Grab Camera Time
      Allows you to have the switcher select the first camera on the preview bus a set amount of time (in seconds) after a transition has been performed.
