IR CONTROL
The MAX Switcher can be equipped with an
optional RC5251IR, Infra-Red Remote Control.
To have the MAX Switcher recognize the Infra-
Red Remote Control Receiver attached to RS-
232 port1, please press and hold the IR-
Control key (INPUT section key#8) while
turning the power ON. The switcher will beep a
couple of times and an ON LED next to IR-
Control key will verify that the MAX Switcher is
ready to be controlled by RC5251IR. To
disable the IR-mode, the switcher has to be
reset.
SET UNIT ID NUMBER
When the same control equipment or PC
controls more than one MAX Switcher, then it
is convenient to address each MAX Switcher
separately by RS-232 commands, by assigning
different unit ID numbers.
Press and hold Output 1 and turn the power
ON. Then wait for a long and short beep to set
the unit ID to 1. If the unit ID is 1 then MAX
Switcher responds to all commands that are
sent.
To set the unit ID to 2, press and hold the
OUTPUT2 key while turning the power ON.
Wait for a long and short beep, to allow the unit
ID to change to 2.
Press and hold Output 3 and turn power ON.
Then wait for long and short beep to set the
unit ID to 3.
Press and hold Output 4 and turn power ON,
then wait for long and short beep to set the unit
ID to 4.
RECALL PRE-SET MEMORY
If any connection configuration of inputs to
outputs is stored into the switcher’s memory, it
can be recalled using this option. To switch to
RECALL mode, press and hold the RECALL
key in switcher/projector control section on the
bottom right corner of the front panel. The unit
beeps once and all input switch LEDs will flash.
Select the memory location to recall from 1
through 8. After the selection, all stored input
to output connections will be restored.
SELECT SIGNAL
AUDIO & VIDEO keys allow break away
switching of the audio and video signals
through the front panel.
By selecting AUDIO and deselecting VIDEO,
only the audio portion of the input and output
channels will change by subsequent
input/output connections. If the AUDIO switch
is de-selected and only the VIDEO switch is
selected, the audio portion of the signal will not
change with subsequent connections.
Normally, both the AUDIO and VIDEO switches
are selected and both LED’s are ON to provide
Audio-follow-Video switching.
STATUS
When the STATUS key is pressed and held,
the Front Panel will show system settings of
the MAX Switcher such as Baud rate, Unit ID,
SYNC Delay time, and IR-Control Status.
SOUND
This switch is used to enable/disable audible
response (beep), whenever any key is pressed
on the Front Panel. The default is SOUND on.
To disable Sound (Beep), press and hold the
SOUND key for approximately 2 seconds until
all LED’s flash. The sound function is now
disabled. This is a toggle function, so to enable
the sound, repeat the same step.
