1Picture control button — Allows you to toggle through the center, size, filter, and contrast/brightness picture controls, which are used to adjust the preview image. The program image is not affected by these controls (unless the current preview input is the same as the current program input).

2Picture control LEDs — Indicate the active picture control.

3Program input selection buttons — Allow the system operator to view the image switch as it happens. The button for the currently selected program input is lit.

When an image is frozen, a switch can still occur. When the output is switched, the freeze command stays in effect.

To unfreeze the image, press the Freeze button.

If an image is frozen when a different input is selected or if the unit loses power, the image unfreezes.
