Operation
After the transmitters, the switcher, the receivers (for the looped out and selected optical
signals), and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. Select
an input by pressing the desired input button. The button lights to indicate the selected
input.
NOTE: The switcher can take up to 6 minutes to save an input selection, a front panel
lock, or selection of background illumination. Wait at least 6 minutes after one of
these operations before removing power or the settings may be lost.
If any problems are encountered, ensure all cables are routed and connected properly:
•
Ensure that the video sources and the displays are properly connected to the
transmitters, the switcher, and the receivers, and that all equipment has power applied.
•
Ensure that the rear panel Input signal monitoring LEDs (see
on page 5) are
indicating correctly for your system configuration.
NOTE: If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline
(see the last page of this guide for the
in your region of the world).
Front panel lockout (executive mode)
The front panel lockout prevents the operation of the switcher from the front panel. If you try
to select an input when the front panel is locked, all of the input buttons flash once and the
input selection remains unchanged.
To toggle the front panel lock on or off, press and hold the Input 7 and Input 8 buttons
simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds, until all of the input buttons flash three times.
System reset
The switcher can be reset from the front panel to:
•
Unmute the switched output (which can be muted under serial port control only).
•
Unlock the front panel.
•
Select input 1 for output.
To reset the switcher, press and hold the Input 1 button while you apply power to the
switcher. The input buttons blink red, green, red, amber, and go out. Input 1 is selected (the
Input 1 button is lit).
Background illumination
The buttons on the front panel can be set to provide amber background illumination at
all times or the background illumination can be turned off. To toggle the background
illumination on or off, press and hold the Input 1 and Input 2 buttons simultaneously for
approximately 3 seconds.
