MSC-DE1616L Product Manual
The MSC-DE1616L is equipped with a 16x16 button panel which provides one of several options for
controlling and viewing the status of the routing matrix.
This panel interface provides separate input and output buttons. One output button is active at a time, indicated
by it being lit. The current connection status for the active output is indicated by the relevant numbered input
button being lit. Pressing an input button will cause that input to be connected to the current active output.
1.3.1 Audio Breakaway
An audio breakaway is performed by first selecting the desired output, by pressing the relevant output button,
then pressing and
holding
an input button, followed by pressing another input button. The 1st input button
pressed selects the source of the primary level. The 2nd input button pressed will become the secondary (audio)
source and will flash, indicating a breakaway.
1.4 Web Page Interface
All Matrix Switch Corporation router and panel devices come with a built-in web page interface.
This is the recommended interface for configuration and is also a convenient way to control the matrix routing
of the device.
Devices come factory configured with default settings, unless a pre-configuration request is made during
purchase, an example being a multi device application.
