Genesis™ Series 4x4 AV Matrix Switches

The front panel can be used for the following purposes:
• Monitor & Control Power On/Off status
• View current Input/output routings (ties) on Routing Status LED Grid on the
front panel
• Make new ties either starting from input or from output point of view
• Use VID and AUD buttons for independent or synchronized routing of audio
and video
• Recall preset tie patterns
• Save preset tie 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 like a pro.
3.2 Turning the unit on and off
To turn the unit on, press the power button. The unit will do a LED test where all
buttons and LED’s are turned on for a few seconds. Then the matrix will recall the last
routing pattern prior to being shut -down and update the Routing Status LED Grid.
To turn the Matrix off, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. This is done as a
precaution, so that if the power button is accidentally touched, it will not turn off the
matrix!
Notice At any time, you can check the tie pattern on the front panel LED Grid.
However if both the VID and AUD buttons are lit, the Grid only shows
positions where an output’s audio & video coincide. If the audio and video
routing to a particular output are not synchronized, then the LED position
in the Grid will be off. In that case to can examine just the Video ties or
just the Audio ties by only having VID or AUD button active
