a Auto Switch LED — This LED lights when auto-input switching is in effect (see
Enabling Auto-input Switching on page 10 for the procedure to set up automatic
input selection).
b IR receiver port — This sensor detects infrared signals from the optional IR 102
remote control at a distance of up to 30 feet and within 40 degrees off the axis (see
Using the Optional IR 102 Remote Control on page 16).
c Input selection buttons and LEDs — Press one of these buttons to select an
input to switch to the output. The LED at the right of each button lights when the
corresponding input is selected. If auto-input switching is in effect, these buttons are
disabled, but the LEDs continue to light to indicate the selected input.
The input buttons are also used to initiate a system reset (see Resetting on page 16)
and to enable and disable front panel lockout (see Locking and Unlocking the
Front Panel (Executive Mode) on page 17).
d Signal status LEDs —
• Inputs: Each input has a corresponding numbered Signal LED, which lights when
a source is connected to the input connector and TMDS clock activity is detected
on it.
NOTE: If the source device connected to the selected input is HDCP
encrypted (requires HDCP authentication), the corresponding signal LED
may not light unless HDCP has been authenticated.
• Output: The Output Signal LED lights when an active sink (output) device is
connected to the HDMI output.
e HDCP status LEDs —
• Inputs: Each input has a corresponding numbered HDCP LED. If the connected
source requires HDCP, the corresponding LED lights when authentication is
successful.
NOTE: HDCP is authenticated on each input regardless of the currently
selected source.
• Output: The Output HDCP LED lights if the currently selected input requires
HDCP and the connected output device has been successfully authenticated.
NOTE: HDCP is re-authenticated on the output whenever a new input is
selected.
f Config port — Connect a USB cable (USB A to mini B) between your computer
and this female USB mini B port to configure and control the switcher via SIS
commands or the Universal Switcher Control Program and to update the firmware
(see Connecting to the USB Port on page 9).
