NOTES: • The ! read tie command for RGB and the % read tie command for video can be used interchangeably.

• When the switcher is in verbose mode 1 or 3, the response is OutX@•InX!•(RGB), (Vid), or (Aud)].

Input 7 computer video is tied to output 5.

Input 12 low resolution video is tied to output 7.

Input 6 audio is tied to output 3.

Volume for output 7 is 55%.

Gain for input 4 is -2 dB.

Each X1! response is the mute status of an output, starting from output 1.

Output 2 audio is mute, output 3 video and audio are muted, and output 5 video is muted. All other outputs are unmuted.

NOTE: The “Mut” portion of the response appears only when the switcher is in Verbose mode 1 or 3. See the Verbose mode command

Each position shown in the response is an output: left = output 1 (the starting output number), right = output 16. The number in each position is the input tied to that output. Outputs 13 through 16 do not exist on this matrix switcher; the content of those positions is “--“.

In this example, video input 8 is tied to outputs 1, 2, 4, and 5; video input 4 is tied to output 3, video input 9 is tied to output 7; video input 10 is tied to outputs 9, 10, 11, and 12. No inputs are tied to outputs 6 and 8.
