If you are using the factory installed configuration file, the local control panel is pre-configured with the
three switching levels assigned to LEVEL keys 1, 2 and 3.
Level Key 1 – Selects sources and destinations on the VIDEO switching level.
Level Key 2 – Selects sources and destinations on the AUDIO1 switching level.
Level Key 3 – Selects sources and destinations on the AUDIO2 switching level.
A breakaway switch allows you to switch source signals defined for one or more specific switching
levels of a selected source group to the output channels defined for the corresponding switching levels
of a selected destination group. For additional information on breakaway switching, refer to Paragraph
4.5.
To perform a breakaway switch, use the control panel diagram below as a quick reference guide and
follow the steps below:
•
Select Desired Output Destination:
Press the DESTINATION Select Key on the local control panel, the button will light.
Press the number key (1 – 32) corresponding to the Destination (destination group) to which
you want to route sources you specify in the breakaway selection. When you select a
destination, output ports defined through the destination group assigned to the destination
number key are selected; both the DEST key and the selected number key should be lit.
•
Select Desired Input Source for Selected Destination:
Press the SOURCE Select Key on the local control panel, the source button will light and the
number key corresponding to the source selected for the status level of the panel, and currently
routed to the destination you selected in the previous step will also light. If the button is
blinking, this indicates the switching levels are currently in a breakaway condition and one or
more of the levels is switched to a source that is different from the source assigned to the status
level of the panel.
Press the Level key(s) corresponding to the switching level(s) for which you wish to select
source signal(s) to route to the destination output switching levels. You may select any number
of switching levels for the breakaway switch. The level button(s) light, and the illuminated
number key displays current status of switching levels - depending on which level buttons are
selected. Refer to Paragraph 4-9 for information on reading the status display.
Press the number key (1 – 32) corresponding to the Source (source group) you want for the
breakaway switch on the selected switching level(s) to the destination selected in the previous
step.
