[. . . ] Additional control panel attributes and flags are available at the bottom of this screen. These features are described in Section 3-Configuration Reference. Figure 31. Completed Control Panel Configuration 48 Prelude -- Instruction Manual Create Panel Configurations 8. With the control panel configuration completed you should now save the configuration file to the PC. Enter a descriptive name (8 characters maximum) for this particular control panel configuration file and click Save. The file is now safely stored on your PC's hard drive. You can delete an existing configuration file if you wish by highlighting it in the lower pane and clicking Delete. 10. You can now create different control panel configuration files with different capabilities for use at different locations at your facility. Remember to name each configuration file with a descriptive name and save each one to the PC before you create the next one. Attributes and Flags (Exclusions) Additional Attributes and Flag controls are available on the lower part of the screen. These controls affect various aspects of panel operation, and will vary depending on the type of panel. In particular, various Exclusions may be available to limit a panel's ability to control selected Destinations, levels, or salvos. If an item is excluded, it will not appear on the button configuration selection menus described above. If an excluded item is present on a panel, that item's current state will be reported but you will not be able to change its state from that panel. Configuring Encore Control Panel Types Other Than 48B Other Encore panel types have different feature sets, and so may require additional configuration steps, which generally involve Attributes and Flags settings. Prelude -- Instruction Manual 49 Section 2 -- Installation and Initial Setup Refer to Section 3-Configuration Reference for information about Attributes and Flags and the differences between the various Encore panel types. Send Panel Configuration to Each Panel The appropriate control panel configuration file now must be sent to each control panel. 1. A selection pane listing all the available panels of that type will appear (Figure 33). You can select a single panel, or if a group of panels share the same functionality you can select just the ones you want using standard Windows methods (Shift for adjacent items, Ctrl for individual items). Figure 33. Control Panels Selected to Receive Panel Configuration File. Note All Acappella remote panel types will be displayed (8x1, 16x16, etc. ). You should select only panel(s) that match the configuration type you have created before you send the configuration to Acappella panel(s). 3. The panel configuration files will be sent to the selected panels in turn. 50 Prelude -- Instruction Manual Test System Operation Test System Operation With all the panels loaded with the router and panel configuration files, your Prelude system should be completely operational. A couple simple tests include: · While monitoring a Destination, select that Destination on any control panel, change the Source for that Destination on that panel, and see or hear the signal change for that Destination. All control panels that have buttons delegated to that Destination will immediately tally a new Source button (provided that new Source is mapped to the Source buttons on that panel). Select a single level on any panel, select a Destination, and change its Source. Only that level's signal will change, and split tally lighting will be reported on all control panels delegated to that Destination. · Acappella Local Panel Configuration If you have multiple Acappella frames configured under Prelude control, and these frames are equipped with local control panels, and you wish to use these panels for multi-level Takes on different Acappella frames, they will need to be configured individually. [. . . ] Grayed out attributes and flags are not available for use with this panel type.
