CONTROL PANEL

摘要

A control panel for use in a network comprises a plurality of video signal processing mainframes and bears a plurality of hardware user interface elements for specifying operating parameters of said mainframes. An operating software of a processor of the control panel which enables the controller to transmit instructions for setting operating parameters of the mainframes as specified by a user at one of said hardware user interface elements is divided into a software framework for communication between the processor and said hardware user interface elements and a plurality of plug-in modules specific to a given type of mainframe for enabling communication between the processor and a mainframe of said given type.
