3 . Turn the Select knob clockwise or counterclockwise until
the desired mode (Matrix or Input-Only) is displayed.
You can also change the tie mode by using SIS
commands (see chapter 4, “SIS
™ Operation,”) or the
Ethernet Web pages (see chapter 5, “HTML
Operation”).
Figure 3-7, “Selecting setup parameters,” later in this chapter,
provides a diagram of the procedures for setting up the IP
connection, backlight duration, and tie mode parameters using
the front panel controls.
Creating ties
After selecting the tie mode, use one of the following
procedures to create the ties.
Creating a tie in matrix mode (default)
To create a tie in matrix mode (the default mode),
1 . Select the type of tie (video, audio, or both) by repeatedly
pressing the I/O button until it lights the desired color:
• Video and audio selected — The I/O button lights
amber.
• Video only selected — The I/O button lights green.
• Audio only selected — The I/O button lights red.
2 . Press the Input button to specify that the next number
entered will be an input number.
• The Input button lights amber.
• If it was lit, the Output button turns off.
• The most recently selected output is locked (unable
to be changed; assigned as the output to which the
entered input is tied unless a different output is
assigned [see steps 4 and 5]).
3 . Use the Select knob to scroll through the available inputs
until the LCD display shows the desired input.
The Select knob scrolls through only those inputs that
are within the available range for this MKP or the
connected matrix switcher. See “Switcher Control
Settings section” in chapter 5, “HTML Operation,” for
information on authorizing inputs and outputs.
If an optional MKP 10 MAAP keypad is connected or
you are using an MKP 3000 L, you can use the keypad
in place of the Select knob. See “MKP 10 MAAP and
MKP 3000 L Keypad Operation,” later in this chapter.

Front Panel Operations
The MKP 3000 normally operates in the matrix input/output
selection mode. This is the default mode, in which you can set
up a tentative tie by selecting an input, selecting an output, and
then taking (commanding) the tie. The MKP 3000 can also
operate in input-only mode, in which you can view the current
ties by scrolling the outputs. In this mode, you first select an
output, then complete the tie by selecting an input.
Additionally, the MKP can operate in preset mode (select
presets), view mode (view ties without changing them), audio
volume mode (adjust the audio output volume), or setup mode
(set the IP addresses and other parameters).
The MKP is provided with default labels installed in the front
panel buttons (figure 3-3). It also includes a strip of alternative
labels that you can insert in one or more of the mode selection
buttons to make using the other modes more clear. These
additional button labels are shown in the applicable front panel
operation descriptions. See “Changing Button Labels” in
appendix A, “Reference Information,” for the procedure for
replacing these button labels.

Changing the tie mode
You can create ties on the MKP 3000 in the following modes:
• Matrix mode (the default) — In matrix mode, you specify
an input and one or more outputs to be tied to it.
• Input-only mode — In input-only mode, you select one
output, then specify an input to be tied to it.
To change from one tie mode to the other,
1 . Enter setup mode by simultaneously pressing and holding
buttons
2 , 3 , and 4 (typically labeled Input, Output,
and Take) for approximately 2 seconds until all buttons
light amber and the LCD display changes.
2 . Repeatedly press the Input button (button 2 ) until the
LCD window displays “Tie Mode.”
