5.0 OPERATING the HDMI SWITCHERS
The 1T-SX-632 and 1T-SX-624 HDMI Switchers can be operated via the front panel
controls. If the cable run length is excessive and the quality of the display is less than
optimum, you can press the Enhance switch on the front panel which will turn on a low
noise amplifier within the switcher and light an LED indicating that the amplifier is in use.
Provided there is enough signal for the amplifier to recover the HDMI bitstream, you will
be able to use inputs and a display located farther apart than is normally possible.
Another front panel control is the input select switch. This switch is pressed to select the
desired input. Each time the switch is pressed, the next input in sequence (from left to
right) is selected. LED displays indicate which input is active. Finally, there is an On/Off
Power Switch and an indicator LED that shows when the unit is turned on.

Operation of the 1T-SX-632 or 1T-SX-634 via RS-232 Machine Control
Operation using RS-232 protocols is possible for either HDMI Switcher. The technical
information needed is provided in the two charts which follow but if you are not
technically inclined, seek help from an appropriately trained individual since cables will
have to be constructed and programs written to use the RS-232 capabilities.

Operation of the HDMI Switchers is possible via an included
Infrared Remote Control. Selection of Enhance mode is not
possible from the IR Remote however the unit can be turned on
and off and the inputs can be selected simply by pressing the
appropriate button on the remote.
Note: When you unpack either
HDMI Switcher, you may have to remove an insulator from the
battery compartment of the remote in order for the remote to
receive power. The battery compartment slides out from the bottom
of the unit.
