SWITCHERS
5
There are two sections on the front panel of the
MX2436RM: input select and switcher control. The
buttons within the input select section allow for the
actual switching of the source signals. The buttons
within the switcher control section allow access to
the switcher setup features.
4.1. VIDEO SELECT MODE
Default video and audio inputs connect to video
and audio outputs simultaneously, but if needed the
user may select video and audio inputs separately
using AUDIO BREAK AWAY mode. The user can
select any video input by using the input select
buttons located on the front panel.
4.2. AUDIO BREAK AWAY MODE
This mode allows independent selection of video
and audio inputs. After choosing AUDIO BREAK
AWAY mode the user may select any audio input
for switching when the power is turned ON.
4.3. EQUALIZATION MODE
With video signals connected from input to output
through a video amplifier along with an equalization
circuit, the user can equalize video signals for each
of the inputs according to the distance (cable
length) from the video source (PC) to the switcher.
4.4. AUTO SWITCH MODE
If AUTO SWITCH mode is turned ON, the input
which was previously selected by the incoming
video signal will automatically connect to the
output.
If the user does not previously select the AUDIO
BREAK AWAY mode, the same number of audio
inputs will be connected to the audio output.
4.5. AUTO ROTATION MODE
The user may select AUTO ROTATION mode with
a preset rotation time. If this mode is selected, then
all video inputs connected to the video output will
be selected alternately. Audio inputs will
simultaneously connect to the audio output along
with video inputs if the user did not previously
select AUDIO BREAK AWAY mode.
4.6 AUDIO VOLUME CONTROL
This feature allows the user to control the audio
volume using the UP or DOWN buttons. To
increase the volume, push the UP button and to
decrease the volume, push the DOWN button.
4.7. VERTICAL INTERVAL SWITCHING MODE
The VERTICAL INTERVAL SWITCHING mode will
be activated automatically if the house sync BNC
connector is connected to the house sync source or
composite video is connected to Input 1. If House
Sync is not connected and the Composite Video
signal is present on Input 1, then the vertical
interval switching process will be controlled by
Vertical Sync from the composite video signal.
4.8. BEEP ON/OFF MODE
If the BEEP ON/OFF mode is selected, each
control on the control panel, except the RESET
mode will be without an accompanying beeper
sound.
4.9. RESET MODE
RESET mode sets the memory for the MX2436RM
Switcher. To reset the switcher, press the RESET
button. In the reset mode, video input 1 and audio
input 1 will be active. Auto Switch mode will be
disabled if previously active. Beep On/Off mode will
return to the ON position if previously in the OFF
position. The Reset mode button does not affect
Audio Volume, Video Equalization, Auto Rotate or
the Sync Delay mode.
4.10 FACTORY RESET MODE
This mode clears all data from memory, which was
previously set by the user and returns the switcher
to the factory-preset position. To return the switcher
to the Factory Reset mode, turn OFF the power,
press the Reset button, turn power ON and then
release the Reset button.
