SWITCHERS

There are two sections on the front panel of the MX2456RM: input select and switcher control. The buttons within the input select section allow for the actual switching of the source signals. The buttons within the switcher control section allow access to the switcher setup features.

4.1. VIDEO SELECT MODE

Default video and audio inputs connect to video and audio outputs simultaneously, but if needed the user may select video and audio inputs separately using AUDIO BREAK AWAY mode. The user can select any video input by using the input select buttons located on the front panel.

4.2. AUDIO BREAK AWAY MODE

This mode allows independent selection of video and audio inputs. After selecting AUDIO BREAK AWAY mode, the user may select any audio input for switching when the power is turned ON.

4.3. EQUALIZATION MODE

Video signals are connected from input to output through a video amplifier along with an equalization circuit. This allows the user to equalize video signals for each of the inputs according to the distance (cable length) from the video source (PC) to the switcher.

4.4. AUTO SWITCH MODE

If AUTO SWITCH mode is turned ON, the input which was previously selected by the incoming video signal will connect to the output automatically.

If the user does not previously select the AUDIO BREAK AWAY mode, the same number of audio inputs will be connected to the audio output.

4.5. AUTO ROTATION MODE

The user may select AUTO ROTATION mode with a preset rotation time. If this mode is selected, then all video inputs connected to the video output will be selected alternately. Audio inputs will simultaneously connect to the audio output along with video inputs if the user did not previously select AUDIO BREAK AWAY mode.

4.6 AUDIO VOLUME CONTROL MODE

This button allows the user to control the audio volume using the UP or DOWN buttons. To increase the volume, push the UP button and to decrease the volume, push the DOWN button.

4.7. SYNC DELAY MODE

The default SYNC DELAY mode button in the “OFF” position means that the video portion of the video signal and the sync portion of the video signal are connected to the output simultaneously. The MX2456RM Switcher can operate in SYNC DELAY mode to avoid a “glitch” effect typically associated with switching between video sources. Sync delay time is the amount of time when sync is connected to the output before the video portion of the video signal is transmitted. The user may select a time from 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds.

4.8. BEEP ON/OFF MODE

If the BEEP ON/OFF mode is selected, each control on the control panel, except the RESET mode will be without an accompanying beeper sound.

4.9. RESET MODE

RESET mode sets the memory, which was previously set by the factory and resets the Switcher. To reset the switcher, press the RESET button. In RESET mode, video input 1 and audio input 1 will be active. AUTO SWITCH mode will be disabled if previously active. BEEP ON/OFF mode will return to the ON position if previously in the OFF position. The RESET mode button does not affect Audio Volume, Video Equalization, Auto Rotate or the Sync Delay mode.

4.10 FACTORY RESET MODE

This mode clears all data from memory, which was previously set by the user and returns the switcher to the factory-preset position. To return the switcher to the FACTORY PRESET mode, turn OFF the power, press the RESET button, turn power ON and then release the RESET button.
