Operating the SID-X1

Powering up the

SID-X1 recalls the last settings (that is, the configuration of the

device when it was powered down) from the non-volatile memory.

The

SID-X1 inputs can be selected remotely via the VP-81SID. For details on

operating the

SID-X1 remotely via the VP-81SID, see the VP-81SID User Manual.

6.1

Selecting an Input

To select an input, press the INPUT SELECT button repeatedly until the required
input is active as indicated by the associated LED.

Note: If only one live input is connected, the device automatically detects the live
port and activates it. If more than one input is connected, you must select the
required input by pressing the INPUT SELECT button until the associated LED
lights.

6.2

Taking Control of the Switcher Input

To activate the input of the switcher to which the

SID-X1 is connected, press the

STEP-IN button. If the switcher grants the

SID-X1 access to the input, the STEP-

IN button lights. If the switcher does not grant access for some reason, the button
flashes for a few seconds and then does not light. This may be because the
switcher input connected to the

SID-X1 has been set to have a lower priority than

the currently active input.

Note: Input priority on the switcher is set using the Kramer Control Software.

6.3

Audio Stream Priority

By default (see

Section 5.4

), an audio source connected to the 3.5mm mini jack

Audio Input takes priority over any other audio stream. This means that if there is
a cable connected to the 3.5mm mini jack (even without a live signal) and the
HDMI and DVI streams contain audio, only the audio source from the 3.5mm
audio jack is transmitted over the TP to the switcher.
