Creating a configuration
The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. Change
the current configuration as follows:
1 . Press the Esc button to clear any input LEDs, output LEDs, or control LEDs
that are lit.
2 . Select video, audio, or both for configuration by pressing the Video button
and/or Audio button.
3 . Select the desired input and output(s) by pressing the input and output
buttons.
To indicate potential ties, output LEDs blink when an output is selected but
not tied to the input.
To indicate current ties, output LEDs light steadily when an input is tied to
the output.
To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the output buttons associated
with the lit LEDs. To indicate potential unties, output LEDs blink when an
output is deselected but not untied from the input.
4 . Press and release the Enter button to accept the new tie or to break an existing
tie.
5 . Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create additional ties until the desired
configuration is complete.
N • Only one video input and one audio input can be tied to an output.
• If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output was
previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer
tie.
• To indicate current ties, output LEDs light when an input is selected.
• If, when configuring video and audio ties, the Audio LED blinks and the
Video LED is on after selecting an input or output, the LEDs indicate audio
breakaway, meaning that the audio ties are not the same as the video ties for
that input.
• If an input with no tie is selected, only that input’s LED lights.
• When the Video and Audio LEDs are on, if an input with an audio tie but
no video tie is selected, the input’s LED lights and the Audio LED and the
output LED(s) blink.
• As each output is selected, the associated output LED blinks to indicate a
tentative tie. LEDs for output(s) that were already tied to the input light
steadily. Outputs that are already tied can be left on, along with new
blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the associated output button.
