Muting and Unmuting Outputs

Individual outputs can be muted or unmuted as follows:

NOTE: Output mutes are protected when front panel Lock mode 2 is selected. You can view the status of the output (muted or unmuted) in Lock mode 2 but you cannot change it from the front panel (see Locking the Front Panel (Executive Mode) on page 41).

1.Press the Esc button to clear any front panel button indications that may be lit.

2.Press and release the View button.

3.One at a time, press and hold the button(s) for the desired output(s) for approximately 2 seconds. The output button(s) for the selected output(s) blink to indicate the mute or return to their previous state to indicate the unmute.

4.Press and release the View button to return to normal switcher operation.

NOTES:

When you enter View-onlymode, the output LEDs turn on for all outputs without ties.

Mutes are saved to non-volatile memory. When power is removed and restored, the mute settings are retained.
