Example 5: View ties by selecting outputs

The following steps show an example of viewing the video and audio, audio-only, and video-only ties in the current configuration by selecting various outputs. The example shows the front panel indications that result from your actions.

This example assumes that you have performed example 1, example 2, and example 3.

1.

Select both video and audio for viewing (figure 3-22).

Press the button to cycle through the selections.

Ensure that no input button is selected before you select an output button. If an input button is selected, the indications will not be as described and you may inadvertently establish potential ties that could be created by pressing the Enter button.

If you do inadvertently establish a potential tie by selecting an input and output button, do not press the Enter button. Allow the 5-second timeout to deselect all input and output buttons.

2.

Press and release the Output 3 button (figure 3-23).

Press and release the Output 3 button.

The Output 3 LED lights to indicate that output 3 is selected and it is receiving video or video and audio. The source (or sources, if audio is broken away) is indicated by the Input LED(s).

The Output 1, Output 4, and Output 8 LEDs also light to indicate that they are receiving video from the indicated input. These unselected outputs may or not be receiving audio, you cannot tell from these indications.

The Input 5 LED lights to indicate that this input's video is tied to output 3 (and the other lit outputs).

The audio LED blinks to indicate that, for at least one tie, audio is routed from a different source or not tied at all (audio breakaway).
