USING THE SMARTCONTROL SOFTWARE (continued)
Main Routing Window
The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router connections by
means of the cross-point panel, the button panel, or with the pre-recorded
routes called macros.
Cross-point Panel:
Simply click on the cross point itself. The input on the
left will then be routed to the output above.
Note: Inputs can be routed to several different outputs, but each output
can only have a single input at any one time. So you can have several con-
nections horizontally but not vertically.
The Button Panel:
To broadcast all outputs to an input, hold the CTRL key
down and click on an input.
Macros:
This section of the window is used to save and play black macros.
Macros store a set sequence of routes.
