Location and Function of Parts
3 Source/destination select buttons
These buttons can be used as source select buttons or
destination select buttons. The control terminal or the
setup function of this unit defines the function of these
buttons.
When the LEVEL lamp is lit, the upper eight buttons
function as level select buttons. For details, see
LEVEL button/lamp.
The source select buttons normally light in dim green,
and the destination select buttons normally light in dim
amber. When you press one of the buttons, the pressed
button lights in bright green or amber to show that it is
selected.
Note
When the source select button is lit in bright amber,
the source has been selected on another level in the
break-away function.
For details on defining the button functions, refer to the
Installation Manual supplied with the routing switcher.
Source selection function (lit in green)
When you press a button, the signal fed to the switcher
(source) corresponding to the pressed button is
selected and is supplied to the output connector
(destination). If a phantom has been set on the button,
the crosspoints set on the phantom are switched.
If the prompt lamp-light mode has been set, the
pressed button lights in bright green to show the
selected source. If status display mode has been set,
the system checks that the selected crosspoint has been
switched, and the button lights in bright green.
For details, see page 15(E).
Note
When the PROT lamp is lit, source switching is
disabled.
Destination Selection function (lit in amber)
When you press a button, the output connector of the
switcher (destination) corresponding to the pressed
button is selected. The pressed button lights in bright
amber to show the selected destination.

source names appear in sequence in the preset display
window. When the DEST lamp is lit, a destination
name appears.

down, the type name appears in sequence in the preset
display window. When you release the TYPE button
and turn the SELECTOR knob only, only the source

5 PROT (protect) button/lamp
This button has two functions; to set and release
protection for the output connector (destination) and to
indicate whether the currently selected destination is
protected or not.

When the currently selected destination is protected,
the lamp is lit, and the source select buttons are
disabled.

lit and the currently selected destination (output) is
protected. When a destination is protected, switching
of sources for the destination is disabled.
To release protection, press the PROT button so that
the lamp goes out.
Note
If the protection has been set to ON AIR mode at the
control terminal, switching is enabled independent of
protection setting. Normally set the protection to
NORMAL mode.
6 LOCK button/lamp
Press and light this button, and the buttons on the front
panel other than this button are disabled. This
prevents switching by touching the select buttons
accidentally.
If you press a button while the LOCK lamp is lit, the
following message appears in the preset display
window.

"XXX" is the station number of this unit.
When you press the button while it is lit, the lamp goes
out and the lock is released.
7 TYPE button/lamp
This button is used for the selection of the type name.
The lamp is lit while the button is being pressed down.
While holding down this button, turn the SELECTOR
knob, and the type names appear in the preset display
window in sequence. When the desired name appears,
release the button, and turn only the SELECTOR
knob. The sources or destinations belonging to the
selected type name will appear on the preset display
window in sequence.
