The current configuration can be viewed using the front panel buttons. The view-
only mode prevents inadvertent changes to the current configuration.
To view the current configuration, do the following:
1 . Press the Esc button to clear any input button indications, output button
indications, or control button indications that may be on.
2 . Press and release the View button.
3. (TPX 88 A only) Select video, audio, or both to view by pressing the I/O
button. The Video and/or Audio LEDs light to indicate that video and/or
audio are selected.
4 . Select the desired input or output whose ties you wish to view by pressing the
input or output buttons.
• To see all ties of the current configuration, press and release each input
and output button, one at a time, (TPX 88 A only) with the Video and
Audio LEDs lit.
• (TPX 88 A only) In view-only mode, you can view video and audio,
video-only, or audio-only ties. Pressing and releasing the Video and
Audio buttons toggles each on and off.
• When you enter view-only mode, the output buttons light for all outputs
without ties. Likewise, when an output button for which there are no ties
is pushed, the output buttons turn on for all outputs without ties.
(TPX 88 A only) The output buttons’ colors indicate audio breakaway for
one or more of those outputs.
