Selecting an Input for a Channel
Located in the center area of the krossfour’s top panel are 2 groups of buttons. Each group
is labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. These button groups are positioned at each side of the cross-
fader…
1. Simply press the buttons for the corresponding video sources that you want to place on each channel or side
of the cross-fader. When an input is selected the button will glow red
Note: The same video source can be used for both channels at the same time – more about this later.
Note: When a video source is selected for an input that is not connected, you will see a blue-screen.
Note: When an input button is pressed twice it will blink, and you will see a black screen.
Selecting a Source to Monitor
Located on the top panel of the krossfour is a row of buttons labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, and OUT.
This is the Monitor Select section. When a video monitor is connected to the monitor output
(located on the front panel), any of the 4 inputs or the main output can be viewed, allowing
you to “cue” up to specific points of a video source…
1. Press the button for the corresponding video source that you want to monitor in the monitor select section.
When a source is selected the button will glow red.
Note: The monitor out can be treated as a 3
rd
output for the krossfour, if OUT is selected in the monitor
select section.
Holding or Freezing a Source
Located below each of the two input groups for each channel is a HOLD button. This will
freeze any incoming source on the specified channel…
1. Press the HOLD button on either channel when a source is being viewed through it. The image will freeze and
the button will glow red. To release the frozen image press the button again.
Note: Tapping the HOLD button to match an audio source tempo will create freeze-frame/stutter type
effects with the video source.
