3. Move the slider up (increase gain), or down (decrease
gain) for selected audio input. Use the ALL slider control
to change all input settings simultaneously. Settings are
changed in 1 dB increments between -18 dB and +24 dB,
and affect both left and right channels equally.
4. Click the Take button (in Verify mode) to make the entered
changes effective.
The Changes: Immediate or Changes: Verify buttons
control how the audio configuration changes are applied
to the switcher. In Immediate mode, every change
(including each audio gain step) is instantly written to the
unit. In Verify mode, the changes made on screen are not
applied until you click the Take button (which is enabled
when verify mode is chosen) and may be cancelled at any
time before pressing Take.
5. Click on the Close button to close the Audio Configuration
window. If there is an audio configuration change
pending, the Close button changes to a Cancel Chgs
button. Clicking it as Cancel Chgs restores the screen to
the current switcher audio configuration (cancelling the
pending changes).
6. To set the switcher’s audio configuration back to factory
defaults, click on the Use Defaults button.
Executive mode
If the switcher is installed in an accessible area, where operation
by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, a security lock-
out feature called Executive mode can be implemented. When
Executive mode is enabled, the front panel is locked and either
an RS-232 command or front panel command (press and hold
the Output and Config buttons for 3 seconds) is required to
unlock the front panel before it can be operated.
