    All connectors are on the rear panel. Figure 4 shows the CrossPoint Plus 128HVA. The CrossPoint Plus 84, 88, and 124 are housed in the same 3U enclosure, but have fewer input and/or output connectors to accommodate the different matrix sizes each provides.

  • Page 15: Video Input And Output Connections

    Video input and output connections All video input and output connections to the CrossPoint Plus switchers are made with female BNC connectors. Some types of video output devices do not have BNC video output connectors. For these cases, a suitable cable or connector adapter is necessary between the device output connector and the BNC input connector of the CrossPoint Plus.

    While the number of inputs and outputs varies depending on the size of the matrix, there are only two front panel arrangements. The CrossPoint Plus 84, 88, 124, and 128 have 12 input buttons and 8 output buttons (figure 19). The CrossPoint Plus 168 and 1616 have 16 input buttons and 16 output buttons (figure 20).

  • Page 23: Input Buttons, Output Buttons, And Leds

    When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. One preset can be assigned to each input button. (On CrossPoint Plus 84, 88, 124, and 128 models, presets 13 through 16 can only be stored and retrieved via the RS-232 link.)

    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 (HVA models only)”...

  • 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 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 control. Presets can also be created under RS-232 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 31: Using Presets

    Each CrossPoint Plus switcher has as many presets available from the front panel as input buttons. On the CrossPoint Plus 84, 88, 124, and 128, the extra presets can be saved or stored via the RS-232 link only.

  • Page 32: Example 5: Save A Preset

    Operation, cont’d The current configuration and all presets are stored in non-volatile memory. When power is removed and restored, the current configuration is still active and all presets are retained. When a preset is recalled, it replaces the current configuration, which is lost unless it is also stored as a preset.
