2. Quick Search

2.1 Quick Access Item Configuration

Luxriot EVO provides an option to assign numeric values to server resources, thus enabling purely numeric searches in Luxriot EVO Monitor.

Quick access items are mappings of numeric codes for [Channels], [Shared layouts], [Maps], and [User buttons].

To create a quick access item ID:
 1. Go to [Luxriot EVO Console] > [Configuration], then scroll down to the [Quick access] section.
 2. Add a [New quick access item] and bind it to the desired resource.


A Quick Access ID will be assigned to the new quick access item.


2.2 How to Perform a Quick Search

After configuring the quick access items, you can use the WV-CU980 to display them on the workstation screens.
To do this, press the [Cam(Set)] button on the WV-CU980. A dialog window will pop up, allowing you to enter partial names to search for and filter channels and other resources.

The quick popup command is bound to the [Cam(Set)] WV-CU980 button by default.


The popup logic is as follows:
 1. Press the [Cam(Set)] button on the WV-CU980.


 2. Enter the Quick Access ID in the search field.


 3. When a list of candidates appears, confirm the selection.
 To confirm, press either the [Enter] or [Cam(Set)] button on the WV-CU980.
 To return to the previous screen, press the [Exit] or [Mon(Esc)] button on the WV-CU980.
    ・The key assignments for the [Esc] and [Enter] keys on the WV-CU980 are as shown in the diagram below.


 4. Once confirmed, the selected channel will appear in the currently selected viewport (indicated by a yellow frame).
 

 

3. Command Mapping

Many commands are already pre-assigned to WV-CU980 buttons, but they can be reassigned if desired. The joystick is used for PTZ control.

3.1 WV-CU980 Operation

Many commands are already assigned to the buttons on the WV-CU980, and the WV-CU980 operation is as follows.
e.g., To perform [Select previous screen] or [Select next screen]:
 1. From the main menu of Luxriot EVO Monitor, select [Edit] > [Command mapping].
 2. Check the [COMMAND] entries for [Select previous screen] and [Select next screen] — their corresponding [SHORTCUT] keys are [Group] and [Seq].


 3. Close the [Command mapping] dialog and return to the main menu.
 4. Press the [Group] or [Seq] button on the WV-CU980 to move the currently selected viewport (indicated by a yellow frame) in Luxriot EVO Monitor.

3.2 To Change the Function of a Hotkey

e.g., change the [SHORTCUT] for [COMMAND: Select next screen] from [Seq] to [3]:
 1. From the main menu of Luxriot EVO Monitor, select [Edit] > [Command mapping].
 2. Under [Devices], select [Panasonic WV-CU980].


 3. Select the command whose function you want to change, and double-click it.


 4. Press the desired button on the WV-CU980. For example, press [3].


 5. In the [Assign command shortcut] dialog, click [Yes].
