Power
Apply power by connecting one or both power cords between the Primary and Redundant
AC power connectors and the AC sources. The switcher performs a self‑test that flashes
the front panel button indicators various colors and then turns them either off or to
background illumination. An error‑free power‑up self‑test sequence leaves all input, output,
and control buttons either unlit or showing background illumination.
The current configuration and all presets are saved in non‑volatile memory. When power is
applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact.
If an error occurs during the self‑test, the switcher locks up and fails to respond to
commands or button pushes. If your switcher locks up on power‑up, call the Extron S3
Sales and Technical Support Hotline. See the
your region of the world.
Creating a Configuration
The current configuration can be changed using the front panel buttons. Change the current
configuration as follows:
1.
Press the Esc button to clear any front panel button indications that may be lit.
2.
Select the desired input and output(s) by pressing the input and output buttons.
•
To indicate potential ties, output buttons blink when an input is selected.
•
To indicate current ties, output buttons light steadily when an input is selected.
•
To clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated lit output buttons. To
indicate potential unties, output buttons blink when an output is deselected but not
untied from the input.
3.
Press and release the Enter button to accept the tie or to break an existing tie.
4.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 to create or clear additional ties until the desired configuration
is complete.
NOTES:
•

•
Only one input can be tied to an output.
If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output was
previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the newer tie.
If an input with no tie is selected, only the button for the selected input lights.
As each input and output is selected, the associated output button blinks to
indicate a tentative tie. Buttons for outputs that were already tied to the input
light steadily. Outputs that are already tied can be left on, along with new
blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the associated output button.
If you press the input button for an input that is I/O grouped (see
on page 33) and then try to select an output in a different group, you cannot
select the associated output button. The associated input button remains lit.
An optical input can be tied to one or more of both the optical and
SDI/HD‑SDI outputs, and an SDI/HD‑SDI input can be tied to one or more of
both the SDI/HD‑SDI and optical outputs.
