SWITCHERS

4.1 FRONT PANEL

The front panel of the MX2206RM provides access to essentially all of the switcher’s capabilities. In addition to standard switching functions, the unit has control and switching functions that could be very useful in a variety of special applications.

4.2 SELECT INPUT

When buttons 1 through 6 are pressed, the corresponding INPUT will be selected and displayed. LED’s on the front and rear panel will light simultaneously to indicate which selection has been made. Input Select buttons also used for setting Sync Delay time.

4.3 SYNC DELAY

The Sync Delay function of the MX2206RM allows clean switching between high resolution RGBS sources by disconnecting active sync shortly before the incoming video is connected. This allows the “glitch” to take place off-screen. A variety of Sync Delay duration are available as a power-up feature. To set the desired Sync Delay time press and hold the appropriate button on the front panel while turning the unit on/plugging the unit in. The delay time will be stored until the setting has been changed.

SYNC DELAY	SET
0.0 second delay	Press & hold Input 1, Power ON
0.5 second delay	Press & hold Input 2, Power ON
1.5 second delay	Press & hold Input 3, Power ON
2.0 second delay	Press & hold Input 4, Power ON

The factory default setting for the MX2206RM is 0 delay. To reset the unit to this default, input 1 must be pressed and held during the power up sequence. The sync delay setting will not be lost by reset or by powering OFF the switcher.

4.4 AUTO SWITCH MODE BUTTON

This function allows the MX2206RM to automatically select an active signal by sensing incoming sync. To enable Auto-Switch mode, press and hold this button (F1) for approximately 2 seconds. When in Auto-Switch mode, the rear panel LED lights will “scan” for an active signal

until one is found. Auto switching is only available when switching RGBS format signals.

4.5 STAND BY / ALL CHANNELS OFF BUTTON

This function allows a user to turn OFF all input signals. It is very useful when the MX2206RM Switcher is used in applications where there is a need to turn the display or the source OFF. Press this function key (F2) to switch to no a signal condition. The LED next to the F2 will light to indicate that the unit is in this mode. To resume input Select switching, simply press the desired

INPUT.

4.6 RESET BUTTON

This function allows a user to RESET the switcher without unplugging the unit. Press the function key RESET (F3) and hold it for 2 seconds. When you hear beeping, release the key. All of the LED’s will flash simultaneously. The switcher is reset. All previous defaults, such as power on channel default and other user settings are maintained.

4.7 BEEP ON/OFF BUTTON

This function allows a user to have audible feedback when buttons are pressed. The factory default is beep ON; however, in some applications, sound may be undesirable. To disable sound, press this function key (F4) and hold it for approximately 2 seconds until a beeping sound is heard. The function is disabled. To enable it, repeat the same steps. The setting is stored in the memory and is maintained during the power up sequence.

4.8 POWER UP DEFAULT SET

This function allows a user to select the channel that will be ON at power up. To select the default channel, press the selected channel switch and hold it for approximately 2 seconds until you hear a beeping sound. If the unit is turned off and turned back on, the LED of the selected channel should light.
