Front Panel Functions — DXP 44, 84, and 88

Configuration

A configuration consists of one or more inputs, each tied to a set of one or more outputs.

This section contains the steps to follow to create or change a configuration. The following
subsections contain some examples of configurations that can be created on the DXP, and
instructions for setting them up. To create or change a configuration:

A tie is an input-to-output connection.
A set of ties is an input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to
more than one input.)
A configuration is one or more ties, one or more sets of ties, or a combination.
Press the Esc button to clear any input, output, or control indicators that may be lit.
Select to configure video or audio by repeatedly pressing the I/O button until the
desired LED is lit (green LED for video or red for audio).
Select the desired input and outputs by pressing the input and output buttons.
• The input LEDs light one of the following colors:
• Green — Video only ties
• Red — Audio only ties
The output LEDs light or blink one of the following colors:
•
• Green — Video only ties
Red — Audio only ties (output 2 only)
•
NOTES:
• To indicate potential ties, output LEDs blink in the appropriate color when
an input is selected.
• To indicate current ties, output LEDs light steadily in the appropriate
color when an input is selected.
• To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated output buttons whose
LEDs are lit. To indicate potential unties, output LEDs blink the appropriate color
when an output is deselected (muted) but not untied from the input.
Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie or to break an existing tie.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create or clear additional ties until the desired configuration
is complete.
NOTES:
• Only one input can be tied to any output. If you tie an input to an output that is
already tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.
• If an input with no tie is selected, only the LED for the selected input lights (no
output LEDs light).
• As each input and output is selected, the associated output LED blinks the
appropriate color to indicate a tentative tie. LEDs for outputs that were already
tied to the input light the appropriate color steadily. Outputs that are already
tied can be left on, along with new blinking selections, or toggled off by
pressing the associated output button.
