Enova AVX-400 Cat5 Presentation Switcher Operation/Reference Guide

Priority Switching

Priority switching enables you to establish a priority order for displaying each input device. 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.

For example, you have a DVD player set at priority 1, a PC at priority 2, and a VCR at priority 3. If the PC is

always powered on, it’s output is sent to the display provided the DVD player is currently powered off. When

the DVD player is powered on, its output is immediately sent to the display. Powering off the DVD player

returns the PC’s output to the display. The VCR’s output is only sent to the display if it is powered on, and the

DVD player and PC are both powered off.

Perform these steps to set up priority switching:

1. In the Device Setup area, click the Display tab (FIG. 30).

2. Click the Priority Switching option button in the Switching Mode section.

3. Use the options menus in the Priority Switching area to indicate the priority order for each input device.

The number you select from the drop-down menu is the source input number on the presentation switcher.

For example, if you want source input 3 to have the highest priority, select 3 from the first menu.

4. Click Program Device to send the new settings to the presentation switcher.

3. Use the Hours, Minutes, and Seconds sliders to indicate the amount of time you want the display to be

inactive before powering down.
