Operation
Introduction
The purpose of a routing switcher is to switch any of the inputs (source) to any of the
outputs (destination). Any input can be connected to any or all outputs but each output
can only be connected to a single input. Control remains the most important component
of your new system. The standard local control panel empowers full control of the routing
switcher while allowing external RS-232 control via the serial port.
Local Control Panel Operation
The standard local control panel consists of twenty pushbuttons, sixteen inputs, two
outputs, a “V” (video only), and an “A” (audio only) button. Use these features to switch
between video and/or audio, select the input and output. The separate output buttons are
for adjustment of re-clocking (see reclocking section of this manual).
Select an input and the router will automatically switch.
The “V” and “A” (if audio is installed) to indicate video and audio are preset to switch.
To disable the video or audio, press the lit button and the lamp will extinguish indicating
the level will not switch.
When video and audio are switched to a destination from different sources (break-away)
the video source status is indicated by an input button light steadily on and the audio
status by a blinking button.
Panel Lock
The local control panel can be “locked” to prevent front panel switching. To lock the front
panel, hold down the “A” and “V” buttons for 3 seconds and release. To unlock, repeat
the process.
If switching is attempted when the panel is locked, all buttons will flash.
