Operation Operation, cont’d Front Panel Controls and Indicators The front panel controls (figure 3-1 and figure 3-2) are grouped into two sets. The input and output buttons and LED indicators are grouped on the left side of the control panel. The control buttons and input/output (I/O) selection buttons and indicators are grouped on the right side of the panel. -

Current configuration — The configuration that is currently being used (also called configuration 0). Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 16 global memory presets can be stored in memory. The input buttons select the desired preset memory location to load or retrieve a preset. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. -
Page 24: I/O Controls
Operation, cont’d As a secondary function on HVA models, the Esc button increments the audio level of the selected input. In audio adjust mode, the Esc LED indicates a positive (+) gain value. A more detailed explanation of audio level adjustment is included in Viewing and adjusting the input audio level (HV A models only) on page 3-15. -
Page 25: Front Panel Operations
Front Panel Operations The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample procedures for creating ties, sets of ties, and configurations; changing a configuration; viewing ties, sets of ties, and configurations; saving a preset; recalling a preset; and viewing and adjusting the audio level. Power On all models, power is automatically applied when the power cord is connected to an AC source. -
Page 26: Creating A Configuration
Operation, cont’d The I/O groups can be set up only by using the RS-232/422 port and either the SIS or the Windows control program. Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2) can be created under RS-232/422 control. Presets can also be created under RS-232/422 control that tie inputs and outputs across group boundaries. -
Page 27: Example 1: Create A Set Of Video And Audio Ties
If the input button for a grouped input is pressed, and then the output button for an output in a different group is pressed, the associated output LED blinks twice and goes out to indicate that output cannot be tied to the input. -

Page 45: Switcher Error Responses
The switcher does not expect a response from the host, but, for example, the host program might request a new status. Switcher Error Responses When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. -
