connection and turn off the LED. The text diplay will show a minus sign under the selected output number,
to show the “off”-connection.

Save and recall of presets
You can save or recall a routing setup any time you like. By saving a preset, you can preserve a complex
setup for later use. By recalling a setup, you can switch several channels synchronously.
3.4.1
Saving a preset
For preserving the routing state of VSDxx, i.e. which inputs are connected to which outputs, VSDxx system
offers eight so called “presets”. These presets are non-volatile, i.e. even after power-loss you can restore
your system routing, if you have saved it to a preset bank before.
To save a setup as preset, make all connections you like to do. Then press the “P”-button (“P” like preset)
longer than a second. The text displays then switches to the “PRE-SAVE” mode, like in figure 6.
Figure 7: Saving a preset
The display now shows eight available preset banks (storage locations) in the top row, the lower row shows
the usage status of the bank. A carret says, that the preset bank is already used, but can be overwritten, a
minus sign says, the preset bank is free.
The cursor and the eight LEDs (on the eight numeric buttons) invite you to select the preset bank you de-
sire, by pressing the appropriate numeric button. After sucessfully selecting a preset bank, the text display
will return to the status display of figure 8 and all flashing LEDs will stop flashing.
If you like to cancel saving instead, just press the “P” button instead of one of the numeric buttons. Then
preset save dialog will be canceled and text display will return to standard status display of figure 9.
Attention:
•
Only the actual routing information will be stored into a preset bank. No EDID-content will be
saved (and recalled later) using the preset functions!
3.4.2
Recalling a preset setup
To load (recall) a saved preset , just press the „P“-button shortly. The text display will switch to a “PRE-
LOAD” mode, as printed in figure 10.
Figure 11: Loading a preset
Like when saving (see section 3.4.1), the top row will display all eight preset banks, the lower row will show
all used banks with carets, unused free banks are shown as minus sign.
All LEDs of those numeric buttons will flash slowly, that represent used banks, i.e. those banks that can be
recalled. Just choose the preset number desired by pressing the numeric button on the front panel. The
load process is immediate, i.e the video routing is modified immediately according to the saved routing
configurations. After successful loading, the text display will return to status display mode like in figure 12.
If you like to cancel the recall process, just press “P” button instead of one of the numeric buttons, then the
text display will return to standard status display and LEDs will stop flashing.
