Unmuting an output

To unmute an output signal, do the following:

Press and release the Esc button to clear all pending changes.

Press and release the View button, which lights red.

Press and hold the desired muted output button, until the button light ceases to flash
and remains lit (approximately 2 seconds). The signal is now unmuted.

NOTE: Output buttons with muted signals flash the appropriate color (green for

video, red for audio, or amber for both). Output buttons with unmuted signals
appropriate color.

Press and release the View button. All buttons extinguish.

Saving and Recalling I/O Presets

The SMX has a total of 32 global preset addresses available (using I/O buttons 1 through
16) and 10 plane preset addresses (using Input buttons 1 through 10).

NOTE: A global preset saves and recalls configurations for all planes. A plane preset

saves and recalls the configurations for a specific plane without affecting the other plane
connections.

Each global preset can be saved and recalled using the front panel input and output
buttons, with presets 1 through 16 assigned to the input buttons and presets 17 through 32
assigned to the output buttons. Likewise, plane presets are saved to and recalled from input
buttons 1 through 10. Any current tie configuration can be saved to any one of the preset
locations, in any order. Saving the current configuration to an existing preset overwrites the
existing preset with the new configuration.

Preset Addresses

When a preset is recalled, it replaces the current (active) configuration, which is then lost
unless already saved to a different preset location. The recalled preset overwrites all of the
current configuration ties with the recalled configuration.

NOTES:

•

Presets

cannot be viewed from a front panel unless recalled as the current

configuration. Presets can be seen using the Windows based SMX Control Program.

•

The current configuration and all other presets are stored in non-volatile memory.
When power is removed and restored, the current configuration remains active and
all presets are retained.

•

Ties for all I/O planes are stored and recalled. Audio gain settings are not saved with
the preset and do not change when a preset is recalled.

•

When the plane preset mode is active, input buttons light for all saved presets.
