PICTURE CONTROLS – Depending upon the model of your System 4xi, there are
three, four or five controls that correspond to the Picture Controls on the
System 4xi front panel. Each control is clearly marked and has a “nudge”
button for increasing and another for decreasing the setting. (These controls
are also available through the Configure Video pull-down menu.
_______ The actual window panel controls will depend upon your System 4
xi
model, as
well as the projector, or display device that is connected to it.
Executive Mode
This section shows examples of System 4xi panels when in Executive Mode.
After setting up the audio and video controls, the System 4xi may be put in
Executive Mode. This simplifies switcher operation by disabling most of the audio
and video setup controls and not displaying them. This mode also “locks”
configuration settings by not allowing access to them.
