Operating instructions
3.1
Powering on/off, Standby-operation
When DXS-XX is connected to a hot wall socket, it will start and boot automatically. All button LEDs will flash for
a short period of time and the text display will show a short welcome message (from the bootloader). After that,
the unit trys to reach a TCP/IP network (if cable connected).
After 10 seconds max., the unit is up and ready for operation. The text display will switch to a “status display”
mode (see figure 3). You can read all active routing connections from that status display. All outputs available are
written in the top row, starting with “OUT:”. The lower row displays the number of the input connected to the
output above. A minus sign says, that the output has NO connection to any input. Reading a number gives the
number of the input channel, that is actually connected to the output.
Figure 4: Routing status display (example)
The example in figure 5 reads:
•
Outputs # 1,4 and 6 are off
•
Output #2 shows video connected to input #6
•
Output #3 shows video connected to input #4
•
Output #5 shows video connected to input #5
•
Output #7 shows video connected to input #3
•
Output #8 shows video connected to input #1
By pressing the “O/I”-button on froint panel longer than 3 seconds, the DXS-XX will quit active mode and go to a
standby mode of operation. All active connctions break and the unit will turn off most of its internal functions.
If the unit is in standby, you can activate it by pressing the “O/I”-button longer than about 1 second. Then, all
previous routing connections are re-established (both video and EDID-connections).
3.2
Outline of operation
As mentioned shortly in chapter 1, the DXS-XX can be operated by different methods. These methods differ in
complexity and level of control, so rookies and professional users will find their appropriate control method.
To ease handling of the DXS-XX and have a quick start, let’s outline the next sections:
•
make and break video routing connections
•
save and recall setups scenarions with “presets”
•
control system’s menu tree
•
control system’s features through remote interfaces like console or web interface

Set up video connections between inputs and outputs
3.3.1
Making a connection
First, select the output number of the connection you intend to make by pressing one of the numeric buttons “1”
to “8” (resp. „1“ to „4“, if you only licensed 4 Outputs). Now, the LED of the selected output will flash slowly. And
the cursor in the text display will flashg the number of the selected output channel.
Now pressing one of the numeric buttons “1” to “8” (resp. “1” to “4”, if you licensed only 4 inputs) will make the
connection to the selected input number. The former flashing LED will blank and the status text display will show
the newly established connection.
3.3.2
Modifying or breaking an existing connection
An existing connection can be modified by re-establisting a new connection/routing, just like described in the
previous section. If you intend to break an existing connection, just press the number of the output you want to
turn off (break connection), after the LED light flashing, press the “P”-button. This will break the connection and
