To make a switch:
1.
Press <Change>; the Change LED illuminates.
2.
To select a level, press any Matrix key.
If desired, you can select multiple levels. If a matrix key
is not selected, the specified switch occurs on all levels.
3.
To select an input, press any Input key.
4.
To select an output, press any Output key. You can select
one or multiple outputs that are on the same I/O board as
the selected input.
5.
Press <Take>; the switch is performed and the 1YDM
returns to status mode.
If desired, steps 3 and 4 can be entered in reverse order.
To make a switch using levels:
It is possible to switch input signals on multiple I/O boards
with one switch command by using levels. There are three
methods of switching multiple input signals with the 1YDM:
setting multiple I/O boards to the same level, specifying mul-
tiple levels when defining a switch, and using Level 0 to
switch all signals. Setting multiple I/O boards for the same
level is the suggested method for switching component sig-
nals.
Setting multiple I/O boards for the same level allows groups
of signals that belong together (component signals) to be
switched together. Some examples of component signals are
RGBs video and stereo audio signals. The signals that need
to be switched together must be the same input number on
each I/O board.

Checking Status
Checking status makes the CPU display the I/O configuration
of a level. Status is the default mode of the 1YDM. Pressing
<Cancel> at any time puts the distribution matrix in status
mode.
Checking status allows you to monitor your 1Y’s I/O configu-
ration and check for user discrepancies. However, status
mode displays the I/O configuration of only one input or out-
put at a time.
To check the status:
1.
Make sure the distribution matrix is in status mode; press
<Cancel> if you are not sure which mode the 1Y is in.
The distribution matrix is in status mode when only the
Power ON and Matrix LED’s are illuminated.
2.
Press a Matrix key to select a level. The corresponding
LED illuminates.
If no level is selected, the CPU defaults to level 1.
3.
To check which outputs an input is routed to, press the
input key.
The outputs receiving that input are illuminated.
