• 1 or 2 character large font mnemonics. These large characters fill the entire display.

This is an ideal way to identify sources like cameras as 1, 2, 3 and VTRs as A, B, C.

• Dual six character mnemonics. This uses the small font to simultaneously display the

first six characters of the shifted and unshifted source names associated with a

crosspoint button. The shifted crosspoint appears in “reverse video” mode.

Mnemonics can be displayed with green, yellow, or orange backlighting, chosen on a

source-by-source basis. Backlighting can also be turned off for sources that have been

deactivated or are unused on a given production. Source names can also be displayed in

normal and inverted (“reverse video”) in all modes. These extensive display appearance

choices provide an excellent way of differentiating between source buttons during a live

production.

When the S4MDX-905: Routing Switcher Interface option is installed, switcher source

names are replaced by router source names.

This option is ideal for mobile and other applications where sources are constantly being

associated with different crosspoint buttons from one production to another. This option

is also useful when it is desirable to simplify a production by showing only those sources

that will be used in that production and not all of the sources currently connected to the

switcher.

Note that S4MDX-005: Mnemonics Controller Board Set must be ordered to enable

mnemonics.

Mnemonics for Custom Control Macros S4MDX-505

This option puts 35 mnemonic indicators for the display of Custom Control macro names

directly above the Custom Control macro row of the switcher.

It is common for operators to create and name their own Custom Control macros for a

given production. This option allows those customized macros to be named for easy

selection.
