Front Panel Operation Creating a Tie Creating a tie in the low resolution video group N When creating video and audio ties in the low resolution video group, audio must be redirected (tied to a different, but corresponding, output than the video) because there are only audio outputs 1 through 6. In this case, the audio is tied to an output in the computer video/audio group. • If the video is tied to output 7, the audio is tied to output 1.
Front Panel Operation, cont’d Saving or Recalling a Preset Selecting S-video or Composite Video N Presets saved from the front panel are always global ties presets. These presets are complete, ties only, configurations that overwrite all ties in the current configuration when recalled. Presets recalled using any operator interface can be either global ties presets or partial presets (a subset of ties and/or sets of ties and/or signal processor settings).
Front Panel Operation, cont’d Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes) The matrix switcher has three levels of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the switcher from the front panel. The three levels are: • Lock mode 0 — The front panel is completely unlocked. • Lock mode 1 — All changes are locked from the front panel (except for setting Lock mode 2). Some functions can be viewed. • Lock mode 2 — Basic functions are unlocked. Advanced features are locked and can be viewed only.
Front Panel Operation, cont’d Viewing and Adjusting the Audio Level 1. Press and hold the Audio button until it flashes. AUDIO 2 seconds Press and Hold AUDIO Audio button blinks. 2. Press an input or output button. Refer to the MPX Plus 866 A User's Manual, chapter 3, “Operation”, to read the displayed value. 3. Increase/decrease the level or volume by pressing the Esc (>) and View (<) buttons. 4. Press and release the Audio button to exit.
Remote Control Selected SIS Commands The switchers have Simple Instruction Set (SIS ) commands that you can use for operation and configuration. You can run these commands from a PC connected to any of the switcher’s three serial ports or the Ethernet port. See l, m, and o, on pages 2-5, for connection information. ™ Establishing a network (Ethernet) connection Establish a network connection as follows: 1. Open a TCP socket to port 23 using the switcher’s IP address.

MPX Plus 866 A • Remote Control • Video ties cannot be made between the computer video group and the low resolution video group. • Program audio ties can only be made to the computer/audio output group (outputs 1 through 6). • Mixing audio inputs into the output audio using SIS commands requires a complex command.

Remote Control, cont’d Accessing the HTML Pages 4. Yet another way to operate the switcher's basic (non-DSP) functions is via its factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten. The switcher’s HTML pages are accessible through its LAN port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. See m, on page 2-5, for connection information. Press the keyboard Enter key. The switcher checks to see if it is password protected.
