Figure 5-9. Control Section of the PDS Multiple Unit Control UI
The control section of the UI gives the operator control over the multiple PDS units. Each
PDS in the unit list is represented with a status window. This window reports the Name of
the PDS unit, what source is on Preview and Program, and whether the unit is currently
connected to the network.
This control section shows up to four PDS units at any given time. Use the highlighted
arrow buttons to scroll to other PDS units if more than four units are currently configured in
the Unit List.
Using a mouse or other pointing device, left-click anywhere within a PDS status window to
select or deselect that PDS. When selected, the entire window will highlight blue.
Unselected PDS units will be grey.
When the desired PDS units are selected, use the mouse to select any of the inputs or
Logo in the bus below the status windows. These selections will be made in Preview.
Select the TAKE button to initiate a transition of Preview to Program for the selected PDS
units.
For the selected PDS units, keyboard shortcuts can also be used to select inputs, Logo, or
Take as follows:
