When operated in the “multiple destination mode,” the CP 3800A can be used to control from 1 to 80 destinations, with the
names of eight of those destinations (and the status for each) on display simultaneously. In the “single destination mode,” one
destination is selected for control, and the display window shows the status for each level of that destination (video, left audio,
right audio, etc.).
The push buttons are capable of both green and red back lighting, with green generally used to show a selected function and
red to indicate an operational mode in progress. Relegendable buttons are used to allow user−defined categories.
Note: This control panel uses an eight−character “CP 3800” type CP Level set (page 5−58), CP Input set (page
5−62) and CP Output set (page 5−78). The panel is also defined in the MPK Devices table (page 5−107), and if
used for machine control, the Machine Control Devices table (page 5−135). It can also use custom CP Category
sets (page 5−101).
