1.3 Front Panel Button Interface
The MSC-HD84AAL is equipped with a 8x4 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
This panel interface has dedicated Video and Audio toggle buttons. When both Video and Audio buttons are not
lit, the panel is in audio follows video mode, where both video and audio levels are switched. To make routing
changes to video only, toggle the Video button on, select the desired output by pressing its output button and
then press the desired input button. The same procedure can be used to switch audio only by toggling the Audio
button on. To return to "audio follows video" mode, toggle the applicable Video or Audio button off by pressing
it.

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

Devices come factory configured with default settings, unless a pre-configuration request is made during
purchase, an example being a multi device application.
