The 12 S-keys (softkeys) provide context sensitive functionality, which will assist in navigating PALETTE VL
software dialog boxes and execute actions linked to the [TOOLS] and [VIEW] buttons. The amber LED will blink
showing the current control when a dialog box is open.
The softkeys can be used in conjunction with the [ALT] key for a total of 24 softkeys (broken up into two banks of
12: upper and lower.) When the [ALT] key is pressed, it will change to the Upper bank of 12. (Refer to
on page 18
for location of the [ALT] key.) The LEDs on each softkey will light up to let you know that the softkey is
available, with the Lower bank illuminating amber and the Upper bank illuminating green.

Dialog Navigation Function

If a PALETTE VL software dialog box is active (using the Windows UI console personality), each of the softkeys
will provide a related function. For example, if the Record As Cue dialog is active, pressing [S1] prompts Cue List,
[S2] prompts the Cue Number, [S4] prompts Name, etc. If the Console Setup dialog is active, the softkeys would
provide functions related to the console's setup, and so on.

Tools and View Function

Similar to the PALETTE VL software dialog box operation, these softkeys will provide context sensitive
functionality after either the [SHIFT] [TOOLS] or [VIEW] buttons are pressed.
