The following options appear on the Display tab:
Enabling Display Control
Display control enables you to select a display to use for the output from your source inputs. A display can be
any type of video output device. After enabling display control, you can select a make, type, and model of
display. If your display is not available from the options menus, see the Device Library Manager section on
page 19 for information on adding your specific device to the device library. Perform these steps to enable
display control:
1. Click the Display tab on the AMX DCS window.
2. Click the Enabled check box to enable display control.
3. Select a Make, Type, and Model display from their respective fields.
4. Click Program Device to send the display device’s commands to the presentation switcher.
Display Tab Options
Enabled Click the check box to enable display control. Display control enables you to
select a display to use for the output from your source inputs. Enabling display
control makes the options for Make, Type, Model, and Display Power Down
available.
Make Select the manufacturer of the device you want to use.
Type Select the type of device you want to use.
Model Select the device model you want to use.
Switching Mode Click an option button to indicate the method you want to use to switch
between source inputs. You can choose from Take-over Mode, Toggle Mode,
and Priority Switching.
Take-over Mode With Take-over mode, if you press the button on a wallplate connected to
source input 1, then source input 1 becomes the active input. The same
applies to source inputs 2, 3, and 4.
Toggle Mode With toggle mode, if you press the button on any of the wallplates, then the
selected video input changes to the next available input. For example, if you
have all four inputs connected to video sources, pressing any button on any
wallplate causes the active input to toggle from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 1. If you only
have inputs 1, 2, and 3 connected, the toggle sequence will be 1 to 2 to 3 to 1.
Priority Switching Enables you to establish a priority order for displaying each input. The input
device with the highest priority will always be sent to the output display as long
as the input device remains powered on. When the power to the highest
priority input device is turned off, the signal from the next active input device
appears on the output display. These options are not available unless you
select Priority Switching as the Switching Mode. See the Priority
Switching section on page 18 for more information.
Disable Wall Plate Buttons Click the check box to disable source input switching via wallplate button. With
this option enabled, you cannot change inputs while in take-over or toggle
modes, and you cannot power up or power down the display device. This
option disables all wallplate button functions.
Display Power Down Use the sliders to set the number of hours, minutes, or seconds (or some
combination of the three) before the display device powers down. Using the
Hours slider disables the Seconds slider. Set the time to 0 to disable power
down.
Program Device Sends the current configuration to the presentation switcher. You must click
this button for any configuration changes to take effect.
