Introduction
User control of the Model 3000 Switcher is provided through a
control panel containing a source-select button matrix, various
“subpanels” and a flat panel text and graphics display called the
“menu display.”
This section provides an overview of the Model 3000-2 and
Model 3000-3 control panels, and detailed descriptions of the
subpanels. Operation of the 3000-2 and the 3000-3 is essentially
identical; however, the 3000-3 has one more M/E, additional
crosspoint buttons on the panel, discrete (rather than delegated)
key buses, an E-MEM panel for each M/E, and keyer mix and cut
buttons.
Main Control Panel
The control panel is physically divided into two areas referred to
as the “upper” and “lower” panels (see Figure 2-1 and 2-2).
The upper panel contains the main menu subpanel and the menu
display, as well as the Wipes, Masks, Frame Stores, and External
Interface subpanels and a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive used for
storing setups and other data.
Menu control for selecting and executing software functions is
provided by the main menu buttons at the left of the display, plus
eight “soft” buttons below the display and four “soft” knobs to the
right of the display. The term “soft” means that the functions of
these buttons and knobs are defined by software.
