CP 3824 Control Panel
(For installation and configuration instructions, please see page 2−46.)
The CP 3824 control panel is a locally−programmable, full−matrix,* multiple level breakaway panel capable of locking* and
protecting* outputs. The panel features eight−character display capability and relegendable, lighted push buttons. The 24 but-
ton−per−source keys on the left side of the panel are initially assigned to inputs from the file server but some or all can be
re−assigned to new inputs at any time using only the panel itself. Sources can also be selected by scrolling up/down an LED
display of “Preset” mnemonics or by using the Category/Number keypad. The Current display window shows the source
switched to the panel’s controlled output. The Preset window shows the new source as it is being entered from the category
and keypad push buttons; after TAKE is pressed, the previous source is shown in the Preset window. This allows “flip−flop-
ping” the sources, or switching between the current and preset sources by simply pressing the TAKE button (see page 6−78).

Category/Number keys
To select a destination:
1. Press the MENU button once.
The Preset window will display the present destination.
2. Select a new destination by
— pressing a category (e.g., “VTR”) and unit number combination, or by
— using the UP and DOWN arrows to scroll through all destinations, or by
— pressing a category key and using UP/DOWN to scroll through the available units in that category.
3. When the desired destination is displayed in the Preset window, press the TAKE button to select it.
The Current window will return to the input mnemonic; the Preset window will go blank.
Note: if the panel cannot be changed to the desired output, it may have been limited to certain outputs by the
CP Output set used on the MPK Devices table. See page 5−112.
