Signal Assignment and Selection

Assigning signals to buttons

Each of the 32 cross-point buttons and reentry buttons has a corresponding button number, to which you assign a signal.

In addition to the signals input to the PRIMARY INPUTS 1 to 80 connectors (1 to 34 connectors for the MVS-8000SF/8000ASF/8000GSF) on the rear panel of the switcher, you can also select signals generated within the switcher. Each button has assigned to it a video signal and a key signal, forming a pair. You can set these video and key combinations in a Setup menu.

For details of Setup menu operations, see “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
