Viewing the current configuration

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The current configuration can be viewed using the front panel buttons. Press and

release the Output button and the LED for the input tied to it will light. If, when

you view video and audio ties, the Audio LED blinks and the Video LED is on after

selecting an input or output, the LEDs indicate that the audio ties are not the same

as the video ties for that input (audio breakaway is

 

 

 

 

 

 

active).
