Figure 3-2 — MPS switcher front panel

The functions of the front panel controls are described in the following sections.

Input selection in Single Switcher mode

In Single Switcher mode the switcher emulates one switcher with 12 inputs. In this mode, when one of the inputs is selected, the input is routed to the outputs (video and audio) for that group, and the audio is sent to the program audio output as well. All of the other outputs are muted.

When you select and press an input button in Single Switcher mode, the green LED indicator to the right of the button lights steadily. All of the other LEDs turn off. To select a different input, press a different input button.

The Extron IR 102 Universal Handheld Remote Control can be used with an

MPS 112 switcher only when the switcher is in Single Switcher mode.

The MPS 112 must be in Single Switcher mode if it is to be slaved to an

Extron MLC (Medialink™ Controller).

Input selection in Separate Switcher mode

There are three input selection groups on the front panel: VGA/Audio, S-video/Audio, and Video/Audio. These groups correspond to the three independent A/V switchers (in Separate Switcher mode) available in the MPS 112.

Each of the input selection groups has four numbered input selection buttons (1 through 4), which allow you to choose from among the four separate input sources in that group that the switcher can output.

All outputs of the three groups are active, but the audio from only one group is routed to the program audio output. That group (input) is indicated by a flashing LED, while the other two groups are indicated by solid LEDs. See the Program Audio section in this chapter for more details.
