Router Interface Operation

The Router Destination pane on the left is a scrolling list of switcher sources
(only sources configured as routed Karrera sources appear). Each button
displays the Switcher Source ID number, Destination, and Source. The cur-
rently selected switcher source on the list is colored light blue.

The Router Sources pane on the right is a scrolling list of all the available
router sources. Communication with an external routing system is required
before router sources will appear on this list. The router source button of
the currently selected switcher source is automatically selected.

To Change the Router Source of a Switcher Source:

1.

Touch the desired switcher source button in the left pane. Its current
router source will appear selected in the right pane.

2.

Touch a different router source button in the right pane, scrolling the
menu if necessary. The source change will be immediately enacted.

Router Source Keypad Selection

The Router Source data pad at the top of the right pane provides access to
router sources by name. Touching this data pad opens an alphanumeric
keypad, into which you can enter the name of the desired router source.
The Router Source list will then scroll to and select that router source,
changing that source’s output signal. If an exact match is not found for the
name entered, no change will occur.

Protection

The Router Protection pane (middle) provides protection controls. These
controls are used to send commands to the external router to protect or un-
protect the router destination associated with the selected switcher source.
The button for the current setting of the selected switcher source will be
highlighted. The following protections are available:

Protection Off

– Source can be changed at any time by any control panel,

Protection Off All Destinations

– Same as Protection Off but for all destina-

tions.

Protection On

– Source cannot be changed by another control panel, but

may be changed from the Karrera system,

Protection On All Destinations

– Same as Protection On but for all destina-

tions.

On Air Protection

– The source cannot be changed by another control panel

when it is on-air, but may be changed manually from the Karrera
system. The source will also not be changed by an R-MEM recall, and

On Air Protection All Destinations

– Same as On Air Protection but for all des-

tinations.
