OPERATION OF THE SD-7388 AND SD-7316
Any single connection can be made with only two keystrokes. Click the
Out
button with the number
corresponding to the destination device. That output appears on the LCD and a cursor will starts to blink
underneath it. Then click the
In
button corresponding to the source device. The number of the selected source
unit now appears at the output location, the LCD cursor returns to its home position, and the input to output
connection is implemented. Simple as that!
If you press the
Out
button and then change your mind, press another
Out
button - the unit always follows the
last command, and the LCD cursor jumps to the new location.
All other operations are accessed using the
Menu
button. In general, each sequential touch of the
Menu
button
accesses the next menu command. Pressing a button, which is not relevant to the current menu function, will
abort the menu command.

Menu commands for the SD-7388 and SD-7316
Clear SINGLE Output
YES -> #OUT, NEXT -> menu
This command disconnects a single In to Out connection. If, for example, you made a connection between In
#5 and Out #6 and want to disconnect it, press button Out #6.
In general, if an output is not being used, it is good practice to ensure that no input is routed to it. This helps
minimize the crosstalk distortion on the channels being used.
It is not necessary to use this function when making a new crosspoint connection. The old connection is
automatically cleared in this case.
Clear ALL Outputs
YES -> enter, NEXT -> menu
.
To clear all the outputs, press the ENTER button. This command disconnects all the In to Out connections. To
proceed to the next menu function, press the MENU button.
Assign ALL Outputs
YES -> #In, NEXT -> menu
This command essentially causes the SD-7388 or -7316 router to function as a distribution amplifier with
equalization and reclocking functions. Pressing the required In button connects that Input with all eight (SD-
7388) or sixteen (SD-7316) Output lines.
The next five commands define the Vertical Interval switching conditions:
Recall SETUP
YES -> enter, NEXT -> menu
Store SETUP
YES -> enter, NEXT -> menu
The built-in EEPROM memory in the SD-7388 and SD-7316 allows the user to store up to 15 router
configurations. The memory stores the setups even after the unit is turned off. Each setup has its own "setup
number". In the SD-7388, using the Out keys having the same number accesses the first eight setups. All the
other setups may be accessed from the PC or from a remote control panel (VS-3000).
When choosing to store or recall a setup, pressing ENTER will invoke the message:
Enter SETUP number
Use OUTkey 1-8 (SD-7388) Use OUTkey 1-16 (SD-7316)
Recall SETUP will display all the information stored in the corresponding setup number. The user has the
choice to load this new setup, or to continue using the current configuration.
Store SETUP will memorize the current configuration in memory. Any previously saved data in the setup with
that number will be lost.
Immediate switching
YES -> enter, NEXT -> menu
There are two modes of switching - vertical interval switching (according to SMPTE recommendation RP 168-
1993), and immediate switching.
