Each position listed in the response corresponds to an output: left = output 1, right= output 8. The number shown in
each position is the number of the input that is tied to the output represented by that position.
Preset 1— Input 4 is tied to outputs 1 and 3, input 8 is tied to output 2, input 6 is tied to outputs 4 and 5, and input 2 is
tied to output 6. No input is tied to outputs 7 and 8.

Input sync information is available by request only. No unsolicited responses
are made.
The switcher always detects if an SDI signal is present. However, due to
the switcher’s input circuit sensitivity, the switcher may report that a signal
is detected when no signal is present at the input.
