•To set up audio in follow mode (audio and video have the same tie

conﬁguration), select the Follow box at the bottom of the window. To set up audio in breakaway mode (audio and video have different tie conﬁgurations), deselect the Follow box.

•To make the control program easier to use, assign a device icon to each input and output. Click on a box that represents an input or output, and drag the desired icon onto the box from the icon palette that appears.

•To create a tie, drag an input box to one or more output boxes. To remove a tie, drag the output box to its tied input box or to the trash can.

•For quick display of information on a speciﬁc input or output device, position the cursor over that device in the control program window. The program opens a window that details the connections to that device, the audio level, the RGB delay, and the frequency of the video signal input from or output to that device. See the inset box in ﬁgure 5-4.

•If desired, on the task bar, click on Tools > IP Options to set the switcher’s IP parameters in the IP Settings/Options window (ﬁgure 5-5).

IP Settings/Options window

The IP Settings/Options window (ﬁgure 5-5) provides a location for viewing and, if connected via the RS-232/RS-422 link or if you are logged on via the Ethernet port as an administrator, editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface. See appendix A, Ethernet Connection, for basic information about IP addresses. You cannot edit any of the ﬁelds on this screen while you are logged on as a user.

NEditing variables on the IP Settings/Options screen while connected via the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the switcher. Extron recommends editing the settings on this screen using the RS-232 link and protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualiﬁed and knowledgeable personnel only.
