3. Front Panel Control
3.1. Front Panel Button Operations
The following section describes the crosspoint switching possibilities using the dedicated buttons on front
panel of the matrix frame.
3.1.1. Take / Autotake Mode
The matrix switcher 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.

Take Mode
DEFINITION:
The Take mode allows the user to connect or disconnect multiple outputs to an
input at once but the layout must be confirmed (executed) by the Take button as a final step.
The commands are only realized when the Take button is pressed. If no button is pressed for two seconds,
all preselected actions (which were not realized with the pressing Take) will be ignored, and the router returns
to its idle state.
Autotake Mode
DEFINITION:
The Autotake mode means the switching actions are executed immediately (without
user confirmation).
The switching occurs immediately upon pressing one of the input selector buttons. This mode is useful
when time delay is not allowed between multiple switching.
3.1.2. 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.
