Setting RGB delay (computer video group only)

The switcher can briefly blank the red, green, and blue planes of a Computer Video output while a tie is made to it. This allows a brief delay for the display to adjust to the tied input’s sync timing before displaying the new picture, which will appear without glitches. RGB delay, also known as Triple-Action Switchingor video mute switching, is user selectable from 0 to 5 seconds, in half-second increments.

The RGB delay interval can be set on the front panel or by using the RS-232 and Ethernet ports and either the SIS, Windows control program, or HTML pages (see chapter 4, “SIS Programming and Control”, chapter 5, “Switcher Software”, and chapter 6, “HTML operation”. Specify the RGB delay interval for a specific output on the front panel as follows:

NRGB delay is protected when front panel lock mode 2 is selected. You can view the delay in lock mode 2, but not change it from the front panel. See “Setting the front panel Locks (Executive modes)” on page 3-44.
