Crosspoint operations
Switching
For making a connection click on the desired square. If there is no connection between
the desired input and output (the square is dark grey), the mouse pointer becomes a hand
(link pointer) before the clicking. If the output port is not locked, the connection is made, the
square becomes white and the cursor changes back to a pointer.
For example, input 33 is not connected to output 2 according to the first picture above. After
the connection is established the square becomes light grey.
Muting outputs
Outputs can be easily muted by clicking on the button figured a crossed monitor beside the
output. This means that no signal is present at this output. If mute is active, the color of the
button's background changes to white.
INFO
Outputs can be disconnected from any inputs (by protocol command). In this case, the
crosspoint view will not show any white square for the disconnected output and the output
will have no signal just like when muted. Click on a crosspoint square to connect the output
again to an input.
Locking outputs
Outputs can be locked to any input. After locking an input to an output, no switching is
permitted to this output unless it is unlocked again. If output lock is active, the color of the
button's background changes to white.
INFO
Loading a preset does not change either the lock state or the switch state of a locked
output. If an output is locked to an input before preset loading it will also be locked to that
input after preset loading, so locked outputs ignore the preset.
