Menus, Configuration, and Adjustments
Switcher configuration and adjustments can be performed by using the Windows-
based control program (see chapter 4 for details) or by using the front panel
controls and the menus that are displayed on the LCD screen. These menus are
used primarily when the switcher is first set up.
Moving through menus by using front panel controls
Menu button — Press the Menu button to activate menus and to move to the four
main menus.
Next button — Press the Next button to move between the submenus of a selected
main menu. Pressing the Next button during video configuration causes the
current input’s number and video format type to be displayed on the LCD.
Volume/Adjust knob — In configuration mode rotate this knob to scroll through
submenu options and to make selections and adjustments. Settings and
adjustments are stored in nonvolatile memory.
Input selection buttons — When a menu or submenu is active, press an input
selection button to select that input for configuration.
Menu overview
The default menus appear on the LCD when no adjustments are actively being
made. They cycle between the screen showing the name of the switcher and the
screen that shows the active input’s number, as shown below.
From any menu or submenu,
after seven seconds of
inactivity the MLS will save all
adjustment settings and time-
out to the default menus.
The main menus are as shown at right. Use
the Menu button to scroll between them.
To return to the default screens,
let the MLS time-out for 7
seconds, or press the Menu button
until Exit Menu appears, then
press the Next button.
