Front Panel Controls and Indicators

Operation

All of the switcher’s controls and indicators, with the exception of the Reset button, are on the front panel (figure 3-1). The buttons can be set to provide amber background illumination all the time or the background illumination can be turned off (see “Toggling background illumination on and off”, on page 3-37. The program and preview input selection buttons can be labeled with text and/or graphics. The 16 x 2 LCD window indicates the switcher status, menu selections, the data rate, and the status of additional system features.

Freeze, input selection, Logo/Black, and Cut/Dissolve controls

A	Freeze buttons — The two Freeze buttons lock the program output or
	preview output display to the currently selected input image. When the
	freeze function is enabled, these buttons light green. Press the Freeze button
	again to unfreeze the image.

NThe freeze function has no effect on the audio output.

B	Input selection buttons — The two sets of Input 1 through 6 buttons select
	the associated input to scale and display on the program and preview
	monitors. The input buttons light amber when video and audio are selected.

NInput selections can be made with audio broken away under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control only. See chapter 4, “SIS Programming and Control“; chapter 5, “Switcher Software“; and chapter 6, “HTML Operation“.

The input button lights green when video only is selected. The input button lights red when audio only is selected.

NVideo and audio outputs can be muted under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control only. See chapter 4, “SIS Programming and Control“; chapter 5, “Switcher Software”; and chapter 6, “HTML Operation“.

The Input button blinks, alternating between red and amber when video is muted.
