3. Configuration & Operation
3.1 Front-Panel Buttons and Indicators
An image of the front panel for the 8x8 matrix is shown below.
Figure 7 – HSM-I-08-08 front panel controls & indicators
The front panel can be used for the following purposes:
• Monitor & Control Power On/Off status
• View current Input/output routings (ties) on LCD
• Make new ties either starting from input or from output
• Recall preset patterns
• Save preset patterns
All of the front panel switches have built-in LEDs that help in the operation. Front panel
functions are designed for maximum intuitiveness. With just a little practice, one can
easily learn to monitor and control the matrix.
3.2 Turning the unit on and off
To turn the unit on, press the power button. Then, the matrix will recall the last routing
pattern prior to being shut-down along with the last state of VID & AUD buttons. If the
VID button is on, the current HDMI input and output routing pattern will be shown on
the LCD. If the AUD button is on, the current SPDIF audio output routing pattern will
be shown on the LCD. The SPDIF audio output is extracted from the HDMI input port.
When both the VID & AUD buttons are on, the LCD will alternate between the display
of the HDMI I/O routing pattern and SPDIF audio output routing pattern. The HDMI I/O
routing pattern will have a small letter v next to its input number, and the SPDIF audio
output routing pattern will have a small letter
A
next to its input number as shown
below.
