Operating Modes

A DM switcher can operate in the Route mode, the View mode, or the Info mode.
The DM switcher can also be controlled from Crestron Toolbox. For more
information, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
The Route mode uses the front panel controls to route input signals to outputs. Press
the ROUTE button to activate the Route mode.
When in the Route mode, pressing an input button will show the outputs
that are connected to the input.
Audio, video, and USB portions of an input can be routed independently.
For more information, refer to "Route Mode" below.
The View mode uses the front panel controls to view routing information for inputs
and outputs.
Routing information for audio, video, and USB portions of an input can be viewed
independently. For more information, refer to "View Mode" on page 70.
The Info mode uses the front panel controls to view data about signals that are
passed through the inputs and outputs of the DM switcher. For more information,
refer to "Info Mode" on page 71.
