fast switching is needed between sources on a particular destination.
In this mode switching occurs immediately upon pressing one of the
input selector buttons.

Using Lightware routers it is possible to lock a destination. This feature
prevents an accidental switching to the locked destination in case of an
important signal. Locking a destination means that no input selection
MX8x8-HDMI-4K-A
or muting action can be executed on that particular destination.
Destinations can be independently locked or unlocked. Locking a
destination does not affect other destinations.
