Windows Buttons, Menus, and Trash Can
The buttons, drop-down menus, and trash can icon on the right side of the program
window perform the following functions:
• Power — This button is unavailable for HDXP switchers, because the HDXP cannot
be powered on and off via software.
• Executive mode — Allows you to lock out front panel operations, except for the
view-only mode functions.
• Room menu — Displays a list of up to 10 rooms. From this list you can select a room
to display in the window.

determined by the operator. The HDXP switcher supports up to 10 rooms, each
of which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.
• Presets menu — Displays a list of up to 32 global presets and up to 100 room
presets (10 rooms with 10 presets per room). From this list you can select a preset
to display in the window. You can either activate the selected preset by clicking
Go or
delete it by clicking Delete .

number when prompted to do so.
