Figure 6−135. Examples of CP 3864 split configurations.
In split panel applications, the buttons illuminated in green have been configured to select inputs; the buttons illuminated in
amber have been configured to select outputs.
During the configuration process, EXP (expansion) is set to “Y” on the MPK Devices Table (page 5−109). The sources are
defined in a CP Input set of type “cp3832” (page 5−74); the destinations are defined in a CP Output set of type “cp3832” (page
5−90).
Audio−follow−video switching - (PRESET off.) Check to see that the desired output has been selected (amber button); if
not, select it now. When a source (green button) is pressed, a Take* command is issued to all levels of the switcher matrix.
(It is not necessary to press the TAKE key.) A status* signal is then returned to the control panel; this confirms the action by
lighting the input button that was pressed in “high” green and displaying the name of the input in the “Current” window.
Breakaway switching − single level Take − (PRESET off.) Check to see that the desired output has been selected; if not,
select it now. To switch only a specific switcher level, the level is defined by first pressing the LEVEL button; the name of
the first level will be displayed in the “Preset” window. To advance to the next level, press LEVEL again. The TAKE command
to the switcher will be executed when an input button is pressed.
If the switch was made on level 1 (usually video) the new input will be displayed in the Current window. If the switch was
made on another level, use the LEVEL button to return to that level; the new input will be displayed in the Current window.
(To turn off the LEVEL button, press CLEAR.) Notice that only the button for the lowest level will illuminate.
