Chapter 4: On-Screen Display
For an introduction to the DEVICE CONTROL PROTOCOL (DCP), see Appendix E.
DCP synchronize
Use this mode to keep several ServSwitch 4site Flex devices in the same mode.
Every change in settings initiated in the first ServSwitch 4site Flex by hotkeys, hotmouse, front-panel buttons, or a controlling
device synchronizes the modes of all connected devices via DCP messages.
Use special Y cables for the synchronization.
Figure 4-20. System>Control, DCP mode Synchronize selected.
IMPORTANT: Each time you restart a ServSwitch 4site Flex set to synchronize, it will send all its settings to the next connected
device. This process also takes place after activating synchronize in the OSD menu.
When starting a chain of devices, always start by first switching on the device at the end of the chain. When the device has
completed its startup phase and sent its DCP messages, switch on the next device in the chain.
Finally, switch on the first device in the chain, which synchronizes the settings of all other devices in the chain with its own
settings as it starts up.
