Switching Page - AMX DGX1600-ENC Hardware Reference Manual

Switching Page

The Switching page is used to route the system's inputs to its outputs during system setup. Each input and output can be labeled
by filling in the Input Name or Output Name field on the Configuration page. The one exception to this statement is the audio input
"Downmix" button, which cannot be renamed.
NOTE: The number of available video and audio inputs and outputs depends on the Enova DGX 100 Series model and the number and
type of boards it contains.
Color-coded Switch Selection and Switching Orientation
Yellow buttons indicate they have been selected but not switched; blue buttons indicate an already routed switch.
TIP: When disconnecting switches, selecting an input or an output in an already routed switch will turn the button from blue to white,
but will leave a thin blue line around the button to indicate it is still active until Take is pressed.
From a cleared state, switching is accomplished from either an input-orientation or an output-orientation depending on whether an
input or an output is selected first. When an input is selected first, the Inputs title bar turns yellow (see FIG. 105) and
"input-orientation switching" is enabled. Multiple outputs can then be selected for the input followed by Take to execute the
switch(es). When an output is selected first, the Outputs title bar turns yellow and "output-orientation switching" is enabled. A
single input can then be selected for the output followed by Take to execute the switch.
Pressing Clear before pressing Take allows you to start over.
NOTE: The default selection (input button highlighted blue) for the Switching pane is Input 1, which also appears in the Input section
of the vertical "Selected" bar to the right. All output buttons that the default selection is routed to are highlighted and also appear in
the Outputs section of the Selected bar. FIG. 105 shows the factory default switch of one-to-all.

Switching Page Components
The Switching page features the following components (labeled alphabetically to correspond to FIG. 105 on previous page):
A
Auto Take button (default is unselected) – when checked, this button persists the Auto Take function and remains illuminated until
unchecked. Once an input or output is selected, a click on an output for the input or on an input for an output will execute a switch.
This allows for quick cycling through several inputs for a selected output. Note that when a button is selected, it also appears in the
Configuration page with signal details (for button/signal details, click the Legend button).
Legend button – click to open an additional browser tab (Audio/Video Legend) which displays the legend key with details regarding
the state of the input (source) and output (destination) connections. The browser tab opens in a tearaway tab/window that can be
dragged and dropped as a standalone desktop window for side-by-side reference with the Switcher/Configuration pages.
NOTE: The label on the title bar can be edited in the Input or Output Name field on the Configuration page.
