QS-FPC Front Panel Operations

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample procedures for creating ties; changing a configuration; viewing configurations; saving and recalling a preset; muting and unmuting outputs, viewing and adjusting the audio level; viewing and adjusting the output volume; locking out the front panel; performing one of several resets; toggling background illumination on and off; and reading and setting the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 Remote port settings.

Power

Apply power by connecting the power cord to an AC source. The switcher performs a self-test that flashes the front panel button indicators (if so equipped) green, red, and amber and then turns them off. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all I/O and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination. The lit/unlit status RGBHV or Video button and the Audio button is defined by the system configuration.

•Systems with audio — RGBHV/Video and Audio both lit

•Systems without audio — RGBHV/Video lit and Audio unlit

The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact. BME 0, upon power up, issues a map refresh command to all slave BMEs to restore the current configuration.

NBecause BME 0 maps the slave BMEs upon power up, either all BMEs should be powered up simultaneously or BME 0 should be the last BME turned on.

Also, if any slave BME loses power, you need to issue any front panel command or simply cycle BME 0’s power to restore the current configuration.

If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate. Call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

Creating a configuration

Change the current configuration using the front panel buttons as follows:

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

2.Select to configure video, audio, or both by pressing the RGBHV (CrossPoint 450 Plus switchers) or Video (MAV Plus video switchers) button and/or Audio button.

3.Select the desired input and output(s) by pressing the input and output buttons.

Input buttons and output buttons light or blink amber to indicate video and audio ties, green to indicate video only ties, and red to indicate audio only ties.

To indicate potential ties, output buttons blink the appropriate color when an input is selected.

To indicate current ties, output buttons light steadily the appropriate color when an input is selected.

To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated lit output buttons. To indicate potential unties, output buttons blink the appropriate color when an output is deselected but not untied from the input.

4.Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie.

5.Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create additional ties.
