BrightEye NXT 430-X, 430, 415, 410-H, 410 Compact Routers Configuring Ports Some of the BrightEye NXT Router ports are fixed as inputs or outputs, whereas the flexible I/O ports are configured as inputs or outputs from the Ports menu. Naming the ports can make router operation more intuitive.
Quick Start Guide Adjusting Audio Levels When the signal is output through a Clean Switch, you can adjust audio levels on a per-input and per-channel basis. The BrightEye NXT compact routers can apply gain or attenuation from +12.0 dB to -70 dB. When the Clean Switch is in Mix mode, the audio output will properly mix between the adjusted settings of one input to the adjusted settings of the new source.

BrightEye NXT 430-X, 430, 415, 410-H, 410 Compact Routers Clean Switching on Models 430 and 410 The BrightEye NXT 430 and 410 have two clean switches that are useful when switching between asynchronous sources or taking a router output directly to air. To switch cleanly between different sources, the sources and the clean switch must share the same format and standard.

Clean Switching and Up/Down/Cross Converting on Models 430-X and 410-H The BrightEye NXT 430-X and 410-H have two clean switches with which you can switch between asynchronous sources without glitches or pops. Both clean switches also have up/down/cross converters. Simply by setting the output standard of each clean switch, configured independently, they automatically convert any SMPTE broadcast resolution source to your chosen output standard, regardless of the signal’s incoming format.
