Basic Menu Operations
Overview
In the MVS system, all detailed settings for basic
operations such as transitions, keys, wipes, and DME are
made in menus.
About the Top Menu List
When the control panel is powered on, the top menu list
appears as shown below.
You can also display this by selecting VF1 ‘Top Menu
List’ after pressing the [HOME] button at the upper left in
the top menu selection button area of the menu control
block.
To display the top menu from the top menu
list
In the same way as for the top menu selection buttons in
the menu control block, press each button to display the
particular top menu in the menu display.
• The arrangement of buttons in the top menu list and the
default arrangement of the top menu selection buttons
may be different.
• Changing the top menu selection button assignment in
setup has no effect on the top menu list.
To shut down the menus
Press the [Shutdown] button at the lower right.
This operation is the same as the shut down operation in
the top menu window (see page 55).
Accessing Menus
You can use any of the following methods to access a
menu, and the initially displayed menu page depends on
the method used.
Pressing a top menu selection button in the menu
control block
This displays the page you last accessed in the particular
menu. After initially powering on the system, however, the
page of VF1 - HF1 of the particular menu is always
selected.
For details of the menus which can be recalled, see
“Menus accessed from a top menu selection button” (page
52).
For details of the VF buttons and HF buttons, see
“Interpreting the Menu Screen” (page 53).
Pressing a button other than a top menu button
twice in rapid succession
Depending on the button, this may display a fixed page or
the page selected last time you accessed the menu.
For details of the menus which can be recalled, see
“Menus accessed by pressing a button twice” (page 347).
Press the menu page selection button at the top
left of the menu display
The top menu window appears; press the top menu
selection button for the particular menu, or enter the menu
number with the numeric keypad, and press the Enter
button.
