Level Deselect Method
1. Select a source.
The available level mnemonics appear in the Level windows; applicable level buttons will illuminate in “high” green.
2. Deselect levels by pressing the appropriate level button.
The button lamp will change to “low” green, and the corresponding level window will be blanked. To move beyond the
first four levels, use the UP and DOWN arrow keys. Pressing CLEAR will cancel the operation.
3. Press TAKE.
The selected levels will switch to the new source. The deselected levels will remain at the previously selected source.
The level displays will indicate status of the first four levels of the switcher; the Preset window will return to the pre-
viously selected source. This permits flip−flop switching.
Multi−Source, One−Take Splits
The CP 3808 will allow operators to perform complex split switches using multiple sources on levels not defined for all
sources, similar to a salvo switch to a single destination. For example, assume the user has defined Camera−1 with Video and
TimeCode only levels. However, he or she desires CD−1 for audio. To perform this switch in one take:
1. Select all levels to be switched.
In this example, the operator would press the buttons corresponding to Video, Left, Right, and TimeCode. The buttons
will light in “high” green, indicating they are selected.
2. Select the first source.
In this example, Camera−1 would be selected.
3. Deselect the levels that apply to the second source.
In this example, Left and Right.
4. Select the second source.
In this example, CD−1 This source will automatically be assigned to the remaining levels, Left and Right audio.
5. Press TAKE.
