MX2-8x8-HDMI20 series – User's Manual
4.1. Powering on
Connect the power cord to the AC input connector; the matrix is
immediately powered on. After the self-test (about 30 seconds), the
last configuration is loaded automatically.
INFO: The router has an internal emergency memory that stores all
current settings and tie configurations. This memory is independent
from presets and invisible for the user. This built-in feature helps
the system to be ready immediately in case of power failure or
accidental power down.
4.2. Front Panel Operations
Take / Autotake Mode
The router has two different switching modes: Take and Autotake. If
the Take button is unlit, Take mode is active. When the Take button
continuously illuminates green, Autotake mode is selected. Press and
hold the Take button for two seconds to change between Take and
Autotake modes.
4.2.1. View Crosspoint State
The current switching status can be checked on the front panel by
using the front panel buttons. The crosspoint state is displayed slightly
different in Take or Autotake modes because of the different switching
methods.
INFO: View mode does not mean, that the router has to be switched
in different modes, viewing and switching can be done after each
other, without pressing any special buttons.
View Current State in Take Mode
If the router is in Take mode, the user can verify both input and output
connections. In Take mode no accidental change can be done unless
Take button is pressed.
Press and release a source button. Now the selected source button and
all destination buttons which are currently connected to the selected
source will light up. This informative display will remain active for
three seconds, then all buttons turn to dark.

4.2.2. Switching Operations
Switching in Take Mode
Take mode allows the user to connect or disconnect multiple outputs
to an input at once. This mode is useful when the time delay is not
allowed between multiple switching. The commands are only realized
when the Take button is pressed.
