WHAT’S IN THE BOX
QUICK INSTALL AND SETUP
CAUTION!
If required, front handles of the
device can be dismantled, but
with caution. The original screws
removed must not be reintro-
duced to their location without
handles in place. Substantial da-
mages can occur, including risk of
electric shock from the mains vol-
tage. Only M4x12mm screws can
be used. (They are supplied with
the unit.)
Getting started:
You may wish to reset the unit to factory settings to get
started. Go to: Menu > Control > Reset/erase > Default
Values > Yes
1. Select the Output resolution that matches the native
resolution of your display. You will next be prompted to
choose enable follow mode if desired and output rate.
Menu > Output 1 > Output format > 1920x1080 > Internal
Ref > 60 Hz
Do the same for Output #2.
2. Inputs can be configured automatically using the Auto-
Set All function. Menu > Intputs > AutoSet All > Yes
It will scan each input and detect the sync type that is
plugged in. You can still do an Autoset or manual setup per
input.
The SmartMatriX² has 5 layers available per output called:
FRAME, LAYER A & B, LOGO and QUICK FRAME.
3. To display a source, select the output, select a source
(it will blink). Press TAKE to transition your source from
Preview to Program output.
There will always be an output selected and a source
selected (blinking).
4. To display a PIP, select the LAYER B then select your
source. Press TAKE to diplay the layer on the selected
output.
5. To clear a layer, select the layer, then press BLACK. Press
TAKE to remove the layer on the Program.
TIP: If you would like the Program and Preview to toggle/
flipflop during each TAKE, enable this feature by going to
Menu > Control > Preset Toggle
Once enabled, everything on the old Program output will
become the new Preview after each TAKE. See the next
page which describes the button lighting color code and
other front panel features.
SmartMatriX² can be used to display:
- Sources seamlessly switched in the LAYER A. (Only 1 layer)
- 2 layers and 1 Logo over a Frame by resizing the LAYER A.
IMPORTANT: Simply selecting a menu item will not set it
to that value. Be sure to press the ENTER button when
setting the menu items.
