For stand-alone MLS 100 A Switchers
If an MLS 100 A switcher is used without a MediaLink Controller, the User Mode screen, shown below, emulates the MLS front
panel input selection buttons and also provides a means of volume control.

Special features

•
Audio/video breakaway switching — To switch the audio signal separately from the video signal, check the Audio
checkbox (at the right side of the I/O Switching area) and uncheck the Video checkbox, then select an input. The MLS
switches to that input audio and leaves the previously selected video source active. Audio breakaway is shown above: the
video is from input 1 and the audio is from input 2. (The corresponding SIS command is 1&2$.)
To switch the video signal without changing the audio source, check the Video check box and uncheck the
Audio checkbox (see the image on the right).
Selecting Mute selects input 0 (no input).
•
Volume Mute — Check this box (shown at right) in the lower left corner of the software window to activate
the audio mute (Amt) command. See
•
Disable Switcher Front Panel Menus — This feature (near the bottom of the screen) toggles the executive
mode on or off to prevent or enable making changes (input selections) via the MLS front panel.
For MLS 100 A switchers controlled by an MLC
If the MLS 100 A switcher is connected to and controlled by an MLC, the User Mode screen will look something like this:
