Inputs/Outputs:
Enter the number of Inputs/Outputs your AVRouter has. For now we will
assume that there are 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
Com Port:
Select the appropriate com port that your computer is using to access the router.
Router Timeout:
By default this is 0 meaning the computer acknowledges commands
almost instantly. Sometimes a computer takes longer to respond. This setting should be left
at 0. If you need to change it, it should be no higher than 0.2.
After you have entered in the necessary information click OK.
This will now take you to the Main Routing Window where you can route the different
video/audio connections.
On this screen you will notice the input buttons running down the left side while the
output buttons run across the top. They are each labeled 1 through 16.
Note: The three small colored buttons at the lower right labeled ALL, VIDEO, and AUDIO
are not available if AV Split was not checked when you configured your router.
Software Installation & Operation
The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router(s) connections by means of
the matrix panel, the button panel, or with pre-recorded routes called macros.
Matrix Panel:
This is probably the simplest way to route the connections. Simply click on
the cross point itself. The input on the left will then be routed to the output above.
Note: Inputs can be routed to several different outputs, but each output can only have a
single input at any one time. So you can have several connections horizontally but not
vertically.
The Button Panel:
These are the numbered buttons across the top and left sides. Click an
output button on the top, and then click an input button on the left.
Options for using the Button Panel
Output Options:
To select multiple outputs next to each other, click on one output, then hold the
shift key down and click the last output. When the input is clicked, it is routed to
all selected outputs
To select multiple outputs individually, hold the control key down and click on
any number of outputs. When the input is clicked, it is routed to all selected
outputs.
Input Options:
To route an input to all the outputs at once, hold the control key down and click
on an input.
To leave the outputs selected after the route is made, hold the shift key down and
click on an input.
