Executing a Test Switch with the XBar

We recommend executing a test switch with the XBar Controller (see below) or with BCS commands
(see page 73).

Before executing the test switch, make sure the first source device and the first destination device are
connected to the input and output connectors as indicated in the “Octaire AutoPatch Connector Guide.”
(Depending on the signal and connector type, you may need to attach more than one input and output for
a signal (e.g., a Y/c signal will be routed over a BNC connector on the enclosure that routes “Y” and over
the corresponding BNC connector on the enclosure that routes “c”).

Note: For complete information on the XBar Controller, see page 82.

The test switch below routes Input (source channel) 1 to Output (destination channel) 1 on VM 0 (the All
routing level of audio-follow-video).

To execute a test switch with the XBar:

1.

Install the Java Plug-in* if necessary. (The plug-in is required before the XBar Controller can be
used.)

2.

From any page in the site, click the Controller link.
The XBar launches.

3.

Click the blue crosspoint for routing Input 1 to Output 1.
(Inputs are on the left; outputs are across the top.)
The blue crosspoint image turns red as the switch is routed.

* The Java Plug-in must be installed on your PC before the XBar Controller will work. This free Java
software may be downloaded from http//www.java.com (administrative login to the PC may be required
to install the Java Plug-in).
