Combine Mode
Combine mode switches a selected HDMI/DVI input to the HDMI output, deactivating the DVI audio and video outputs. This enables the MPS 409 to function as one 5x1 HDMI/DVI and audio switcher, adding VGA/YUV and Video inputs. Combine mode can be used whether the switcher is in separate or single switch mode. All other inputs and outputs function according to the selected switcher mode.

To prevent unauthorized configuration changes, executive mode limits front panel access. Control and monitoring are still available using the rear panel
Executive mode contains two levels:
•Mode 1 locks out the Mic Mute and Mic Volume control. When active, if mic control or mute are attempted via the front panel, the mic mute LED will flash once.
•Mode 2 locks all front panel functions except Executive mode. When any adjustment is attempted via the front panel, all front panel LEDs flash once.

2.Press the HDMI input 1 button to toggle through the executive modes.
a.If executive mode is not active (Exec mode LED off), the switcher toggles to executive mode 1, the Mic Mute LED flashes three times, and the exec mode LED turns on. Release both buttons to enter executive mode 1.
b.If already in mode 1, the switcher toggles to mode 2 and the exec mode LED remains on. All front panel LEDs flash three times. Release both buttons to enter executive mode 2.
