  • Page 41: Reset.button

    Reset button Reset button — The Reset button initiates various levels of reset to the matrix switcher. Press and hold the button while the switcher is running or while you power up the switcher for different reset levels. See “Rear panel Operations” in chapter 3, “Operation”, for details. N The CrossPoint 450 Plus and MAV Plus 2412, 2424, 3216, and 3232 do not have the Reset LED shown in the figure at right. External sync (MAV Plus video models) The MAV Plus switcher switches between inputs during the vertical interval period, resulting in glitch-free video switching. The MAV switcher can use an external signal to synchronize switching during the vertical interval. Without the external sync locking feature, switching between inputs can result in a brief rolling (sync loss) or a brief change in the picture size. Ext(ernal) Sync connector — Connect an external sync signal to this BNC connection for genlocking the video signal in broadcast or other sync-critical applications. Figure 2-23 shows a basic external sync configuration. The Ext Sync connector receives the timing signal. A tee connector on the connector allows the signal to be passed on to another video device, if required. Terminate the tee connector if desired.

  • Page 184: Ethernet.connection

    Ethernet Connection Ethernet Link The rear panel Ethernet connector on the CrossPoint or MAV switcher can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a computer connected to the same LAN. Ethernet connection The Ethernet cable can be terminated as a straight-through cable or a crossover cable and must be properly terminated for your application (figure A-1).
