Key Elements

option description
NumberShows the generated number of the selected key: <name of fader module>.Key<key number on this module>
FunctionShows the assigned key function.
To change the default key function of a key, follow these steps:
1. Select a key on the console view.
2. In the View menu, select Key Functions. The Key Functions window opens.
3. In the Key Functions window select a Key Function from the list and click Select.
LabelEnter a name for the key. This name will be shown in the Console View and will be available for the label print feature.
ColorsDepending on the selected key function, you can define here, with which color the key shall light up according to the lamp source. On is the color if the function is enabled, Off if the function is in the inactive condition. For the last case, mostly the Off option is used, for example, the key does not light up. Depending on the selected key function, you find also different names in the Lamp Source column, for example Standby, Available, Busy, Owned, Layer A, Layer B or the name of the selected lamp source.
You can define the colors red and yellow. You can define flashing colors for the keys. Select the check box, in the Colors area.
To change the logic source for a color, select an entry in the Lamp Source column and click Source. The Logic Sources window opens. In the Logic Sources window, select a logic source from the list and click Assign.
Toggle ModeMomentary - The function is enabled as long as the key is pressed.\\ Toggle - This key is stay put.\\ Timed Toggle - This key is stay put (short press) or spring return (long press).

Central section keys

Note
Keys in the central section on the 52-5614 are always fixed in their function and can not be configured. Function details such as audio sources can be configured.

Overbridge Keys - Login, Load Default

Press the Login Key,

Press the Load Default key,

Monitoring keys - Extern, Selector, Program 1

Press the Extern key, to monitor a preconfigured audio source. This source can be any audio source, that is available in the mixing system. To set the audio source for this key, follow these steps:

  1. In the Consol View, select the Extern key (key 8).
  2. In the Key Options area, click the Select button, next to the Left Source box, the Audio Sources window opens.
  3. In the Audio Sources window, select an audio source and click Assign.
  4. Now you can select the audio source for the right channel and drag it directly to the Right Source box.

Press the Selector key, to monitor an audio source which can be selected during operation via the TFT Touch Display. This source can be any audio source, that is available in the mixing system. To set the audio source for this key, follow these steps:

Press the Program 1 key, to monitor the Program Bus 1.

General Purpose keys - GP1, GP2

You can configure these keys as User defined Key or Potentiometer key.

User-defined:

  • By right-clicking (not assigned) in the Lamp Source column, you can either select the key itself as a source or select any source from the logic sources window.
  • You can use the key as a logic source in many ways, for example for the On-Air Switch or routing to GPOs.
  • You can change the sequence of the three rows in the Colors area. Drag a row in the Lamp Source column to its new priority place.
  • The LED with higher priority lights up if its lamp source is active; two colors can't light up at the same time!
  • The LEDs of the keys can also be used to show a condition without having assigned a key function. This is useful for signalization via GPIs.

Potentiometer:

  • In the Potentiometer list you can choose from virtual potentiometers, which can be assigned to an encoder in your central module by pressing this key.
  • In the Encoder list you can choose the encoder to which the virtual potentiometer will be assigned. (F1=upper encoder, F2=lower encoder)

All available virtual potentiometers and their function are shown in the following table:

potentiometerfunction
Monitor 2set volume for signal “Monitor 2”
HP 2set volume for signal “HP 2”
Monitor 3set volume for signal “Monitor 3”
Monitor 4set volume for signal “Monitor 4”
CUESPLITset the ratio between the PFL signal and the monitoring signal
CUE/TBset volume for the speaker in the central module
AUX 1set volume for bus “AUX1”, Aux 1 Master settings are also available via AUX Master view on the TFT Touch screen
AUX 2set volume for bus “AUX 2”, Aux 2 Master settings are also available via AUX Master view on the TFT Touch screen

Talk Keys - Talk 1, Talk 2

You can configure these keys only as User Defined Key.

User-defined:

  • By right-clicking (not assigned) in the Lamp Source column, you can either select the key itself as a source or select any source from the logic sources window.
  • You can use the key as a logic source in many ways, for example for the On-Air Switch or Talkback.
  • You can change the sequence of the three rows in the Colors area. Drag a row in the Lamp Source column to its new priority place.
  • The LED with higher priority lights up if its lamp source is active; two colors can't light up at the same time!
  • The LEDs of the keys can also be used to show a condition without having assigned a key function. This is useful for signalization via GPIs.

Fader Keys

You can choose the key function of all fader related keys per channel. SX2 has 4 fader related keys: 2 below and 2 above the fader.

The fader keys above the fader are labeled within the associated TFT section (See Fader Modules for more Information).

The fader keys below the fader are labeled using the delivered label stickers (See Fader Modules for more Information).

Note
Fader related keys have always the same key function for all channels.

To configure the Key function follow these steps:

  1. Click the fader key you want to configure. On the right-hand side, the key configuration options open.
  2. Click Function to select the designated key function. See the list of available Key functions below.
  3. Label the key using the Text field. On the 2 keys above the fader, this value will be used on the TFT, too.
  4. (optional) Some key functions require a Toggle Mode setting:
    1. If momentary is selected, the key will only be active when it is pressed.
    2. If Toggle is selected, a first press will turn the key function on. The key will be turned off when the key is pressed again.
    3. If Timed Toggle is selected, the keys operation mode will depend on the time duration it is pressed. If the key is pressed short, it is toggled. A short press again will release the key. If you press and hold the key, the key will act as momentary.
  5. In the lamp source section, all states can be configured with a matching color.
