SMS–CMXY Control Panel
Destinations
Press the DESTINATION button to engage the destination select mode. The
LED in this button lights and the LEDs in the SELECT buttons light to show
which destinations can be selected; so if destinations 5, 6, 7 and 8 are
allowed to be selected from the panel then all these four LEDs will light up.
This menu acts as a warning to show that the panel is in an unusual mode,
otherwise the operator might be confused as to whether the panel is in
source or destination mode.
Press one of the lit SELECT buttons to choose a new destination. The
number corresponding to the button pressed is transferred to the numeric
display to show the current destination, and the source currently selected
to that destination is shown by one of the LEDs in the select buttons.
Sources
When the destination has been selected, pressing a source button initiates
the take or cut of that source.
Breakaways
Four buttons are provided to enable breakaway selections of signal levels
such as video, audio 1, audio 2, and time code. These buttons can be labeled
to suit each application using the designation strip. The system
configuration determines which buttons are active, i.e., which breakaways
are allowed. For example, in a video only system the left hand LED only
would be lit, and in a video and single level (mono) audio system a
breakaway may be required, in which case the left two buttons would be
used.
If the breakaways are allowed, then when a new destination is selected, all
the level buttons light up denoting the married mode in which all switching
levels are switched simultaneously. This is the normal condition. If a
breakaway selection is required then press the buttons to deselect the levels
which are not required to switch. Then press a SELECT button to choose a
new source on the breakaway level.
If a breakaway is selected then source LEDs flash to denote that a
breakaway condition exists. If all four levels are selected to different source
signals then three of the LEDs flash while the fourth is steady. To find out
which source LED corresponds to a particular signal level, select the
desired level (by deselecting the other levels) and the steady LED is the
source selected on that level of the matrix.
Note that if more than one level is lit then the steady LED corresponds to
the left-most lit level button.
