In This Chapter This chapter provides comprehensive operating instructions for the UTAH-200 routing switcher. All procedures are accomplished through a simple control panel with an integral LCD display, soft keys, buttons and a scroll knob. Whether the control panel is mounted on the main frame or installed as a standalone unit (for example, in an edit suite), all operating procedures are identical.

Control Panel Overview All UTAH-200 control panels send and receive commands across the U- Net bus from the controller (main frame). In addition to the ability to program input-to-output routes, each panel has the ability to display status and matrix information, control monitor outputs, plus provide information on breakaway, lock, and protect status.
