5.2.3. Source and destination buttons
Normal I/O ports have dedicated buttons on the front panel. These buttons are labeled
with numbers and have backlight to indicate active or selected ports. These are referred
as Source and Destination buttons.
However the MX-CPU2 has a Test input and a Preview output port which does not have
dedicated buttons with backlight.
Test input and Preview output
To access the Test input and Preview output ports from the front panel, the up ▲ and
down ▼ buttons can be used which are next to the front panel LCD.
To use this function navigate to the 'Switch In## Out##'
menu (## can be 17 or 33 depending on the frame type).
If any of the source or destination buttons are pressed,
this menu activates for three seconds to give quick
access to the additional I/O ports. An asterisk indicates if
the port is selected just like the backlight LEDs for normal
I/O ports.
See LCD menu operation section for more information.
5.2.4. Viewing crosspoint state
User can check the current switching status on the front panel using front panel buttons.
This status view feature is slightly different in TAKE or AUTOTAKE modes because of
different switching philosophy of the two modes.
Info
Status view occurs whenever the router has to be switched. After entering the view state,
the user can change the routing configuration. Viewing and switching can be done after
each other, or if nothing is pressed for three seconds, the router returns to idle state.
View current state in TAKE mode
If all source and destination buttons and TAKE button are unlit (the unit is in TAKE mode,
and no input was selected in last 3 seconds), user can verify both input and output
connections. This informative display will remain for 3 seconds, and then all button lamps
go out. In TAKE mode no accidental change can be done unless TAKE button is pressed.
For viewing input connections, press and release a source button. Now the selected
source button and all destination buttons will light up which are currently connected to the
selected source.
For viewing output connections, press and release a destination button. Now the source
button which is connected to the selected destination will light up. If no source button is
lighting, the selected destination is in muted state.
View current state in AUTOTAKE mode
In AUTOTAKE mode only states of destinations can be viewed.
Press and release the required destination button. Now the source button which is
connected to the selected destination will light up. If no source button is lighting, the
selected destination is muted or disconnected. By pressing another destination button,
the state of that destination can be seen.
Info: Muting or disconnecting an output cannot be done in AUTOTAKE mode.
Info: Be careful, as in AUTOTAKE mode if a source button is pressed, it is immediately
connected to the last selected destination.
