Switcher Setup and Indications

NFor MAV A/V switchers, the switcher’s IR receiver is disabled by default and must be enabled to use the IR Remote Control. Refer to the MAV 44 / 48 / 84 / 88 Series Matrix Switchers manual

to enable the IR receiver.

Sample Operations

NThe following examples show operations with specific input, out- put, and preset numbers. Use your own numbers as desired.

NThe switcher’s Power LED flashes whenever the switcher receives an IR command. Other switcher indications are identified in the following examples where appropriate. For detailed descriptions of how the switcher indicates ties and presets, refer to the appropriate matrix switcher’s manual.

It is not the purpose of this manual to

define the switcher’s front panel indications, but two of the switcher’s LEDs indicate operation by the IR 501 remote control (figure 3).

Other indications are identified where appropriate in the “Operations” section.

H Infrared remote sensor — This sensor receives infrared (IR) signals from the optional IR 501 small matrix universal remote control. The IR remote control must be pointed within 30 degrees of this sensor for best results.

I Power LED — This LED blinks off and on to indicate that an IR signal has been received.

J Audio Setup LED (A/V switchers only) — This LED lights for a second when an improper or unexpected IR command is received.

Operation

Most functions can be performed by pushing a similar sequence of {function} and I/O buttons (figure 4).

•Video and audio operations require only one {function} button.

•Video-only or audio-onlyoperations require two {function} buttons (one to identify the function, one to identify video or audio).

•For numbers higher than 9, press the +10 button and then press the

applicable 0 through 9 button.

•Creating a set of ties requires at least two sequences (the input sequence, one or more output sequence[s]) and then the ENTER button.

NMany operations require a sequence of IR commands. When multiple IR commands are required, the entire sequence must be completed within 5 seconds. If a valid sequence is not completed within 5 seconds, the switcher times out and discards all received IR commands

Create ties

By default, you create video and audio (audio follow) ties using the IR 501. By pushing one extra button you can create audio-breakaway ties.

1.Press the INPUT button to specify an input selection. The switcher’s Video LED and Audio LED light.

NTo create video and audio ties, skip to step 3.

2.Specify video or audio:

a. For video-only tie(s), press the VIDEO button to specify a video selection. The switcher’s Video LED remains lit and the Audio LED goes off.

b. For audio-only tie(s), press the AUDIO button to specify an audio selection. The switcher’s Audio LED remains lit and the Video LED goes off.

3. Press the 5 button to select input 5. The switcher’s Input 5 LED

lights.

4.Press the OUTPUT button to specify output selection(s).

5.Press the 3 , 4 , and 8 buttons to select outputs 3, 4, and 8. The switcher’s selected Output LEDs blink.

6.Press the ENTER button to create the tie. The switcher displays the ties as described in the switcher’s manual.
