Switcher Calibration – Synergy 1
The Calibration Menu allows you calibrate all analog controls on the switcher panel, including the
faders, the XYZ positioner, and all knobs (excluding those to the right of the display).
Calibrating the Synergy 1 Switcher
The Calibration Menu provides a visual display of all analog controls, including the fader,
positioner, and all knobs.
Use the following procedure to calibrate the analog controls of the Synergy 1 switcher:
1. Navigate to the Calibration Menu as follows:
• Press HOME (to display Main Menu 1-2 )
• MORE (to display Main Menu 2-2 )
• Setup (to display the Setup Menu )
• Installation (to display Installation Menu 1-2 )
• MORE (to display Installation Menu 2-2 )
• Calibration (to display the Calibration Menu )
2. To calibrate the fader:
• Move the fader gently to its upper and lower limits.
• Repeat this procedure two or three times.
• As you move the fader, values appear in the Main Area , under the FADER
heading.
3. To calibrate the positioner, move each axis as follows:
• Calibrate the X-Axis by moving the joystick all the way to the left then all the way
to the right. Repeat this procedure two or three times.
• Calibrate the Y-Axis by moving the joystick all the way up then all the way down.
Repeat this procedure two or three times.
• Calibrate the Z-Axis by twisting the joystick knob fully clockwise and
counterclockwise. Repeat this procedure two or three times.
As you move the joystick, you will see a series of values appear in the Main Area ,
under the POSITIONER heading. The numbers for each axis may not match — this is
normal.
Important
It is strongly recommended that you calibrate all analog controls on
your switcher. Failure to do so may store false limit information into
any controls that may have been “bumped” during the calibration
process — which in turn will prevent proper switcher operation.
Caution Use the Calibration Mode with caution.
Perform the calibration only when you suspect that there has been
“drift” in the knobs or the joystick, or that there is a “limit” problem
with a fader.
Note
Do not use force as false upper and lower fader limits may be
programmed in beyond the rubber stops.
