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 Protection area in the lower right corner of the switcher Source pane
provides protection controls. These controls are used to send commands to
the external router to protect or un-protect the router destination associ-
ated with the selected switcher source. The button for the current setting of
the selected switcher source will be highlighted. The following protections
are available:
• None – Source can be changed at any time by any control panel (green),
• Protect – Source cannot be changed by another control panel, but may be
changed from the Zodiak system (yellow),
• On Air – The source cannot be changed by another control panel when it
is on-air, but may be changed manually from the Zodiak system. The
source will also not be changed by an R-MEM recall (red).
Note External router system panels can place protections on router destinations.
The first panel placing a protection controls that destination. The Zodiak
system will not be able to change router sources feeding router destinations
protected from another panel, and vice versa.
