MTPX Plus Twisted Pair Matrix Switchers • Operation
Viewing a configuration
The current configuration can be viewed using the front panel buttons. The
View-only mode prevents inadvertent changes to the current configuration.
View-only mode also provides a way to mute audio or RS-232 outputs
(see “Muting and unmuting audio/RS-232 outputs” on page 3-32.
View the current configuration as follows:
1 . Press the Esc button to clear any input button indications, output button
indications, or control button indications that may be on.
2 . Press and release the View button. All of the buttons light for outputs that are
not tied as follows:
• Amber : No tied video or audio input
• Green : No tied video input
• Red : No tied audio input
3 . Select video, audio, or both to view by pressing the Video button and/or the
Audio button.
4 . Select the desired input or output(s) whose ties you wish to view by pressing
the input and output buttons.
N • When you enter View-only mode, the output buttons light for all outputs
without ties. Likewise, when you press an output button for which there are
no ties, the output buttons light for all outputs without ties.
• To see all ties of the current configuration, press and release each input and
output button, one at a time, with the Video button and the Audio button lit.
• In View-only mode, you can view video and audio, video-only, or audio-only
ties. Pressing and releasing the Video button and the Audio button toggles
each selection on and off.
• When you view video and audio ties, the Video button is lit green and the
Audio button is lit red. After you select an input or output, the output
buttons light different colors to show where video and audio ties are not
the same (audio is broken away). Amber indicates video and audio, green
indicates video only, and red indicates audio only..
• After 30 seconds of front panel inactivity, View-only mode automatically
deselects.
