Operating the VS-44HDxl

7.1.2

Switch OUT-IN Combinations in the Dual-Link Mode

To switch an input to an output in the dual-link mode, via the front panel

buttons

, in the AT ONCE mode (see section 7.2), do the following:

1. Press an OUTPUT button (either 1, 2 or ALL).

The selected OUTPUT button illuminates brightly, as does the 7-segment

display.

2. Press an INPUT button (either 1, 2 or OFF)

The selected input switches to the selected output, and that input button

illuminates brightly. The digits displayed in the 7-segment display change

as appropriate.

7.2 Confirming Settings

Choose to work in the AT ONCE or the CONFIRM mode (see section 7.2.1).

When the

VS-44HDxl operates in the AT ONCE mode, pressing an OUT-IN

combination implements the switch immediately. In the CONFIRM mode, the

TAKE button must be pressed to authorize the switch.
In the AT ONCE mode, you save time as execution is immediate and actions

require no user confirmation. However, no protection is offered against changing

an action in error.
In the CONFIRM mode:

You can key-in several actions and then confirm them by pressing the

“ TAKE” button to simultaneously activate the multiple switches

Every action requires user confirmation, protecting against erroneous

switching

Execution is delayed until the user confirms the action

Note that after ten seconds the

VS-44HDxl will go to standby mode and the

buttons and the 7-segment display will illuminate less brightly.

7.2.1

Toggling between the AT ONCE and CONFIRM Modes

To toggle between the AT ONCE and CONFIRM modes, do the following:
1. Press the dim TAKE button to toggle from the AT ONCE mode (in which

the TAKE button is dim) to the CONFIRM mode (in which the TAKE

button illuminates).

Actions now require user confirmation and the TAKE button illuminates.

2. Press the illuminated TAKE button to toggle from the CONFIRM mode

back to the AT ONCE mode.
