7 Operating Your XGA / Audio Switcher
You can operate your XGA / Audio Switcher, whether it consists of a single
VP-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl unit, or of a set of VP-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl
units, via the following:
The front panel INPUT SELECTOR buttons, as section 7.1 describes
Remotely, by RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch
screen system, PC, or other serial controller
Remote contact-closure switches (see section 6.5)
Remotely, from the Kramer
RC-IR1 Infra-Red Remote Control
Transmitter 1 (refer to the RC-IR1 user manual 2 )
Powering up VP-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl unit, recalls the previous settings
(that is, the state of the unit when it was powered down) from the non-volatile
memory.
7.1 Using the Front Panel INPUT SELECTOR Buttons
To use the INPUT SELECTOR buttons on a:
Single VP-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl unit, see section 7.1.1
Set of looped VP-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl units, see section 7.1.2
7.1.1 Using the INPUT SELECTOR Buttons on a Single Unit
To operate the INPUT SELECTOR buttons on a single
VP-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl unit:
Press one of the 8 front panel INPUT SELECTOR buttons on the front
panel of a VP-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl unit
The INPUT SELECTOR button illuminates and routes that input to the
output
7.1.2 Using the INPUT SELECTOR Buttons on a Set of Units
When operating a set of up to seven looped VP-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl
units, not all the INPUT SELECTOR buttons on the front panels of the
combined VP-81xl/VP-161xl/VP-321xl units are active.
For example, as Figure 14 illustrates, with a combination of three VP-81xl
units, you cannot use all the 8 INPUT SELECTOR buttons on each looped
VP-81xl unit.
