Front Panel Controls and Indicators

The front panel controls (figure 3-1 and figure 3-2) are grouped into two sets. The input and output buttons, A and B, are grouped on the left side of the control panel. The control buttons and video/audio (I/O) selection buttons, C and H, are grouped on the right side of the panel.

NWhile the number of inputs and outputs varies depending on the size of the matrix, there are only two front panel arrangements: 16 input buttons by 16 output buttons (figure 3-1) and 32 by 32 (figure 3-2).

NOn 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 pushbuttons 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 3-48). The buttons blink or are lit at full intensity (depending on the operation) when selected.
