Create ties

N• Video ties cannot be made between the computer video group and the low resolution video group.

Program audio ties can only be made to the computer/audio output group (outputs 1 through 6).

Mixing audio inputs into the output audio using SIS commands requires a complex command. Refer to the MPX Plus 866 A User's Manual.

Video and audio ties between the low resolution video input group and the low resolution video outputs group are always made with the program audio redirected. In such an operation, the switcher automatically ties the audio to an output in the computer/audio outputs group (outputs 1 through 6) as follows:

If the video is tied to output 7, the audio is tied to output 1.

If the video is tied to output 10, the audio is tied to output 4.

If the video is tied to output 8, the audio is tied to output 2.

If the video is tied to output 11, the audio is tied to output 5.

If the video is tied to output 9, the audio is tied to output 3.

If the video is tied to output 12, the audio is tied to output 6.

Commands can be entered back-to-back in a string, with no spaces. For example: 1*1!02*2&02*04%4*6$.

The matrix switchers support 1-, 2-, and 3-digit numeric entries (1*1!, 02*02&, or 003*003%).

NThe & tie command for RGB and the % tie command for video can be used interchangeably, but you cannot switch between groups.

NThe & read tie command for RGB and the % read tie command for video can be used interchangeably.
