Extron electronic MVX PLUS 128 manual Front Panel Operations, Power, Creating a configuration

Front Panel Operations

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample procedures for creating ties, changing a configuration, viewing configurations, saving and recalling a preset, muting and unmuting outputs, viewing and adjusting the audio level, viewing and adjusting the output volume, locking out the front panel, performing one of several resets, toggling background illumination on and off, and reading and setting the RS-232/RS-422 Remote port settings.

Power

Apply power by connecting the power cord to an AC source. The switcher performs a self-test that flashes the front panel button indicators green, red, and amber and then turns them off. An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all I/O and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination. The lit/unlit status RGBHV or Video button and the Audio button is the same as when the switcher was powered off.

The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact.

If an error occurs during the self-test, the switcher locks up and does not operate. If your switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

Creating a configuration

The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. Change the current configuration as follows:

1.	Press the Esc button to clear any input button indicators, output button
	indicators, or control button indicators that may be lit.
2.	Select to configure video, audio, or both by pressing the RGBHV button
	and/or Audio button.
3.	Select the desired input and output(s) by pressing the input and output
	buttons.

	Input buttons and output buttons light or blink amber to indicate video
	and audio ties, green to indicate video only ties, and red to indicate audio
	only ties.
	To indicate potential ties, output buttons blink the appropriate color
	when an input is selected.
	To indicate current ties, output buttons light steadily the appropriate
	color when an input is selected.
	To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated lit output
	buttons. To indicate potential unties, output buttons blink the
	appropriate color when an output is deselected but not untied from the
	input.
4.	Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie.
5.	Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create additional ties until the desired
	configuration is complete.
