It is not the purpose of this manual to define the switcher’s front panel indications, but two

IR

of the switcher’s LEDs indicate operation by the IR 501 remote control (figure 3).

Other indications are identified where appropriate in the Operations section.

Sample Operations

The following examples show operations with specific input, output, and preset numbers. Use your own numbers as desired.

The switcher’s Power LED flashes whenever the switcher receives an IR command. Other switcher indications are identified in the following examples where appropriate.

8Infrared remote sensor — This

sensor receives infrared (IR) signals from the optional IR 501 small matrix universal remote control. The IR remote control must be pointed within 30 degrees of this sensor for best results.

9Power LED — This LED blinks off and on to indicate that an IR signal has been received.

10Audio Setup LED (A/V switchers only) — This LED lights for a second when an improper or unexpected IR command is received.

Operation

Most functions can be performed by pushing a similar sequence of {function} and I/O buttons (figure 4).

{function} (s)+ I/O number(s)

(Such as INPUT (video and audio),

(Such as 3 , or +10 + 2 .)

INPUT + VIDEO (video only), or MUTE .)

Figure 4 — Button sequence

•Video and audio operations require only one {function} button.

•Video-only or audio-onlyoperations require two {function} buttons (one to identify the function, one to identify video or audio).

•For numbers higher than 9, press the +10 button and then

press the applicable 0 through 9 button.

•Creating a set of ties requires two sequences (the input

sequence and then the output[s] sequence) and then the

ENTER button.

For detailed descriptions of how the switcher indicates ties and presets, refer to the appropriate matrix switcher’s manual.

Many operations require a sequence of IR commands. When multiple IR commands are required, the entire sequence must be completed within 5 seconds. If a valid sequence is not completed within 5 seconds, the switcher times out and discards all received IR commands

Create ties

By default, you create video and audio (audio follow) ties using the IR 501. By pushing one extra button you can create audio- breakaway ties.

1. Press the INPUT button to specify an input selection. The switcher's Video LED and Audio LEDs light.

To create video and audio ties, skip step 3.

2. Specify video or audio:

a. For video-only tie(s), press the VIDEO button to specify a video selection. The switcher's Video LED remains lit and the Audio LED goes off.

b. For audio-only tie(s), press the AUDIO button to specify an audio selection. The switcher's Audio LED remains lit and the Video LED goes off.

3.	Press the	5	button to select input 5. The switcher's Input 5
	LED lights.
4.	Press the OUTPUT			button to specify output selection(s).
5.	Press the	3	, 4	, and 8 buttons to select outputs 3, 4,
	and 8. The switcher's selected Output LEDs blink.
6.	Press the		ENTER button to create the tie. The switcher
	displays the ties as described in the switcher’s manual.
