Combine Mode
Combine mode switches a selected HDMI/DVI input to the HDMI output, deactivating the
DVI audio and video outputs. This enables the MPS 409 to function as one 5x1 HDMI/DVI
and audio switcher, adding VGA/YUV and Video inputs. Combine mode can be used
whether the switcher is in separate or single switch mode. All other inputs and outputs
function according to the selected switcher mode.
Input selection — Single-combine mode
In single-combine mode, the front panel input selection LEDs operate the same as standard
single mode; a single lit LED indicates the current input selection.
Input selection — Separate-combine mode
In separate-combine mode, only one input selection is allowed from the HDMI/DVI groups
along with a single input selection from the VGA/YUV group and another from the video
group. So there will only be three front panel LEDs lit in combine mode rather than four
when in separate switcher mode.
Front Panel Security Lockout (Executive mode)
To prevent unauthorized configuration changes, executive mode limits front panel access.
Control and monitoring are still available using the rear panel RS-232 or front panel USB port
and the control software. The front panel Exec Mode LED is lit when either lockout mode is
active.
Executive mode contains two levels:
• Mode 1 locks out the Mic Mute and Mic Volume control. When active, if mic control or
mute are attempted via the front panel, the mic mute LED will flash once.
• Mode 2 locks all front panel functions except Executive mode. When any adjustment is
attempted via the front panel, all front panel LEDs flash once.
To toggle through the executive modes:
1. Press and hold the mode button for more than 3 seconds,
2. Press the HDMI input 1 button to toggle through the executive modes.
a. If executive mode is not active (Exec mode LED off), the switcher toggles to
executive mode 1, the Mic Mute LED flashes three times, and the exec mode LED
turns on. Release both buttons to enter executive mode 1.
b. If already in mode 1, the switcher toggles to mode 2 and the exec mode LED
remains on. All front panel LEDs flash three times. Release both buttons to enter
executive mode 2.
c. If in mode 2, the switcher exits executive mode and turns off the Exec mode LED.
Release both buttons to exit executive mode.
