While it can be used with any Avenue module, the Express Panel really shines when used with the 7500, 8400, and 8500 Video Processing Frame Sync modules and 7900 series Up/Down/Cross Converters. With dedicated video, chroma, pedestal and hue knobs, live shading is easy. The continuous rotation, velocity-sensitive knobs are responsive and dependable. Audio levels for multiple groups are easily accessed as well. All other parameters, including timing and audio delay, are accessed through an intuitive menu interface.
One Express Panel can control every module in your Avenue system. Alternately, you can have as many Express Panels and Touch Screen Control Panels as you like in your Avenue system. Customize the control system for your needs. Any number of frames can be connected together through the AveNet interframe LAN bus to create an Avenue network. These networks can then communicate over Ethernet using the AveNet Over IP feature (AVIP). The frames can be controlled by a single Control Panel or any number of Control Panels installed in the network. Remote control of Avenue frames is provided through a series of menus for system configuration and for setting parameters for each module installed in the frames. A series of menus allows you to set AveNet and IP addresses, enable AveNet Over IP (AVIP), name and monitor modules, frames and groups of frames, and set module parameters in the system.
