Setting RGB Delay (CrossPoint Switchers)

The CrossPoint 450 Plus and CrossPoint Ultra switchers can briefly blank the RGB (video) output while it switches to the sync source of the new input, and then switches the RGB signals. This allows a brief delay for the display to adjust to the sync timing of the selected input before displaying the new picture, which will appear without glitches. RGB delay, also known as Triple-Action Switching or video mute switching, is user selectable from 0 to 5 seconds, in half-second increments.

The RGB delay interval can be set on the front panel or by using either serial port or the Ethernet port and either an SIS command (see page 101), Windows control program (see page 125), or HTML pages (see page 145).

Specify the RGB delay interval for a specific output on the front panel as follows:

NOTE: RGB delay is protected when front panel lock mode 2 is selected. You can view the delay in lock mode 2, but not change it from the front panel (see Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes) on page 75).

1.Press the Esc button to clear any input buttons, output buttons, or control buttons that may be lit.

2.To enter RGB Delay mode, press and hold the RGBHV button until the button begins to blink green, then release the button.

3.Press and release an output button to select an output. Each lit input button, from Input 1 through Input 10, indicates a half second of RGB delay interval for the selected output.

4.Press and release the Esc (>) and View (<) buttons to increase and decrease the interval.

5.Press and release the RGBHV button to exit the RGB Delay mode. The RGBHV button stops blinking.

NOTES:

Pressing the Enter or Preset button also exits RGB Delay mode. Pressing the Preset button changes to Recall Preset mode.

The RGB interval for each output is stored in non-volatile memory. When power is removed and restored, the delay settings are retained.

Exiting RGB Delay mode by pressing the RGBHV button always returns the I/O configuration to audio only selected for configuration.

Example 6: Setting the RGB delay for an output

In the following example, the RGB delay is increased for output 17. The steps show the front panel indications that result from your action.

1.Clear all selections: Press and release the Esc button.

2.Enter RGB Delay mode: Press and hold the RGBHV button for approximately 2

seconds.

Press and hold the RGBHV button until it blinks.
