Controlling Paralleled Inputs - AMX Modula Instruction Manual

Controlling Paralleled Inputs

For control purposes, each split of the source signal is treated as a separate input signal. To control
paralleled inputs, the system must be configured in XNConnect so the enclosures are on different virtual
matrices (levels). For more information on system configuration using XNConnect, see the Help file.
Control Panel
To execute switches on paralleled inputs using a control panel:
1.
Follow the instructions for executing a switch on the control panel, using the virtual matrix (level)
for which the first board is configured and selecting the paralleled input (source) and the desired
output(s) (destinations).
2. Repeat Step 1 for the second board, using the virtual matrix (level) for which it is configured and
selecting the paralleled input and the desired output(s).
For more information on executing switches with a control panel, see the applicable control panel
instruction manual on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at www.amx.com.
APControl or APWeb
To execute switches on paralleled inputs using APControl or APWeb:
1.
Using the CrossBar (APControl) or XBar (APWeb) for the VM (level) associated with the first
board, select the crosspoint for the paralleled input and desired output(s).
2.
Repeat Step 1 for the second board using the CrossBar or XBar for the second VM (level).
For more information on executing switches using APControl or APWeb, see the APControl Help file or
the Instruction Manual – APWeb Interface on the AMX AutoPatch CD or at www.amx.com.
BCS Commands
To execute switches on paralleled inputs using BCS commands:
1.
Enter the command for the first enclosure using its level and selecting the paralleled input and the
desired output(s).
2.
Enter the command for the second enclosure using its level and selecting the paralleled input and
the desired output(s).
Example:
For a system where the paralleled enclosures are configured as Level 1 and 2, entering the commands
below switches paralleled Input 2 to Output 3 on the first enclosure (Level 1) and also switches
paralleled Input 2 to Output 15 on the second enclosure (Level 2).
