Operation

NThe operation of the CrossPoint 450 Plus, CrossPoint Ultra, and MAV Plus switchers is very similar. There are two exceptions:

•The video selection button is labeled “RGBHV” on the CrossPoint models and “Video” on the MAV Plus switchers.

•The MAV Plus switchers do not offer RGB delay switching.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

The front panel controls (figure 3-1 through figure 3-3) are grouped into two sets. The input and output buttons are grouped on the left side of the control panel. The control buttons and video/audio (I/O) selection buttons are grouped on the right side of the panel.

NWhile the number of inputs and outputs varies depending on the size and model of the matrix switcher, there are only three front panel arrangements: 12 input buttons by 8 output buttons (figure 3-1), 16 by 16 (figure 3-2), and 32 by 32 (figure 3-3). See the table below to identify the front panel arrangements used by each switcher model.

On smaller matrix switchers, the larger-numbered buttons are not used for input and output selection, although they are used to select and indicate preset numbers, indicate the input audio level, and indicate the output audio volume.

The large, illuminated push buttons can be labeled with text and/or graphics. The buttons can be set to provide amber background illumination all the time or the background illumination can be turned off (see “Background illumination”, on page 3-54. When selected, the buttons blink or are lit at full intensity, depending on the operation.
