Muting and unmuting video and/or audio

Individual outputs can be muted or unmuted as follows:

 

 

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 not change it

 

 

from the front panel.

Press the Esc button to clear any input LEDs, output LEDs, or control LEDs

 

that are lit.

2.

Press and release the View button.

3.

Select video, audio, or both to mute or unmute by pressing the RGBHV

 

button and/or the Audio button.

4.

One at a time, press and hold the output button(s) for the desired output(s)

 

for approximately 2 seconds. The output LED(s) for the selected output(s)

 

blink to indicate the mute or return to their previous state to indicate the

 

unmute.

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

 

 

• You can mute video and audio, video-only, or audio-only outputs.

 

 

 

 

Pressing and releasing the RGBHV button and the Audio button toggles

 

 

each selection on and off.

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

The video mute function mutes the R, G, and B planes only; the H and V planes are still active.

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