Chapter 4: Advanced Operation and System Configuration

Cycling Through Channels

Instead of manually selecting the channel to view its video, you can turn on

the AutoScan function to make the MCCAT system automatically display

the video of all channels one after another.

There are two types of AutoScan modes: Global and Individual. The

default AutoScan mode is Global. Their differences are described below:

 Global scan mode:

The scan time for each channel is the same and it is based on the

setting configured in the Configuration Menu.

 Individual scan mode:

The scan time for each channel can be different and it is based on the

settings configured for each channel in the Edit Names and Scan Rate

menu.

For instructions on changing the scan mode and time, see System

Configuration (on page 30) later in this chapter.

You ca

n turn on the AutoScan function with one of the following ways:

 Front panel buttons

 OSD

Front Panel Operation

1. (Optional) If the OSD remains displayed on the screen, quit it by

pressing the Esc button.

2. Press the SCAN button on the front panel. The LED under the button

is lit.

Starting from the currently selected channel, the system displays the video

of each channel one after another. Each channel's number and name (if

available) will pop up temporarily on the screen when accessed.
