Sources And Destinations Buttons; Viewing Crosspoint State - Lightware UMX4x4-Pro User Manual

4.2.4. SOURCES and DESTINATIONS buttons

Input and output ports have dedicated buttons on the front panel. These buttons are labeled
with numbers and have backlight to indicate active or selected ports. These are referred as
SOURCES and DESTINATIONS buttons.

4.2.5. Viewing crosspoint state

User can check the current switching status on the front panel using front panel buttons.
This status view feature is slightly different in TAKE or AUTOTAKE modes because of
different switching philosophy of the two modes.
Important! Each layer has own crosspoint state. If only one layer is selected the current state belongs
to the active layer. If both of the layers are selected the showed crosspoint state belongs
to the VIDEO layer.
Info Status view occurs whenever the router has to be switched. After entering the view state,
the user can change the routing configuration. Viewing and switching can be done after
each other, or if nothing is pressed for three seconds, the router returns to idle state.
View current state in TAKE mode
If all source and destination buttons and TAKE button are unlit (the unit is in TAKE mode,
and no input was selected in last 3 seconds), user can verify both input and output
connections for any layer. This informative display will remain for 3 seconds, and then all
button lamps go out. In TAKE mode no accidental change can be done unless TAKE button
is pressed.
For viewing input connections, select the desired layer(s) then press and release a source
button. Now the selected source button and all destination buttons will light up which are
currently connected to the selected source.
For viewing output connections, select the desired layer(s) then press and release a
destination button. Now the source button which is connected to the selected destination
will light up. If no source button is lighting, the selected destination is in muted state.
View current state in AUTOTAKE mode
In AUTOTAKE mode only states of destinations can be viewed.
Select the desired layer. Press and release the required destination button. Now the source
button which is connected to the selected destination will light up. If no source button is
lighting, the selected destination is muted or disconnected. By pressing another destination
button, the state of that destination can be seen.
Info: Muting or disconnecting an output cannot be done in AUTOTAKE mode.
Info: Be careful, as in AUTOTAKE mode if a source button is pressed, it is immediately
connected to the last selected destination.
