Operation
Introduction
The purpose of a routing switcher is to switch any of the inputs (source) to any of the
outputs (destination). Any input can be connected to any or all outputs but each output
can only be connected to a single input. Control remains the most important component
of your new system. The standard local control panel empowers full control of the routing
switcher while allowing external RS-232 control via the serial port.
Local Control Panel Operation
The standard local control panel consists of twenty pushbuttons, 8 inputs, 8 outputs, a “V”
(video only), and an “A” (audio only) button. Use these features to switch between video
and/or audio, select the output and input.
Select an output first, then select an input. The “Take” button will light. Pressing the
“Take” button will complete the switch.
The “V” and “A” (if audio is installed) light to indicate video and audio are preset to switch.
To disable the video or audio, press the lit button and the lamp will extinguish indicating
the level will not switch.
When video and audio are switched to a destination from different sources (break-away)
the video source status is indicated by an input button light steadily on and the audio
status by a blinking button.
