User Mode
For stand-alone MLS 100 Series switchers
If an MLS 100 Series switcher is used without a MediaLink Controller, the User Mode screen, shown below, emulates the MLS’s front panel input selection buttons and also provides a means of volume control. See page
Special features
Audio/video breakaway switching — To switch the audio sig- nal separately from the video signal, check the Audio checkbox (at the right side of the I/O Switching area) and uncheck the Video checkbox, then select an input. The MLS switches to that input’s audio and leaves the previ- ously selected video source active. Audio breakaway is shown above: the video is from input 1 and the audio is from input 2. (The corresponding SIS command is 1&2$.)
To switch the video signal without changing the audio source, check the Video check box and uncheck the Audio checkbox. See the picture at left.
Selecting Mute selects input 0 (no input).
Volume Mute — Check this box (in the lower left corner) to activate the audio mute (Amt) command. See page
Disable Switcher Front Panel Menus — This feature (near the bottom of the screen) toggles the executive mode on or off to prevent or enable making changes (input selections) via the MLS’s front panel.
For MLS 100 Series switchers controlled by an MLC
If the MLS 100 Series switcher is connected to and controlled by an MLC, the user mode screen will look something like what is shown in the picture below.
In this case, you must set the volume control in the Controller (MLC) Config section to “Switcher”, as shown at right.
