Card Control and Status
Card Status
The card has an LED that indicates whether Dashboard remote control is enabled, or if the switch bank
controls the card. See description of switch 1 below.
The first bank of four LED’s indicates the routing mode. There will be one LED illuminated for output
A and one illuminated for output B, indicating from which input each output is being routed.
The card also indicates the status of each of the outputs signal with the two banks of four LEDs labeled
with the different supported formats. When the card has locked to a particular output format, that LED
will be illuminated. When the card has not locked to a particular video format, the card will search all
possible formats, and the lights will cycle rapidly.
Switches
There is a bank of eight switches (S1) on the front edge that controls the card.

* Switch 1 controls the behavior of the rest of the switches. With switch 1 set in the up position,
Dashboard remote control software can change the settings of the card. Consequently the rest of the
onboard switches will have no effect. With switch 1 set in the down position, Dashboard remote control
software is prevented from making changes to the card settings. Consequently the onboard switches 2-8
control the settings.
The factory default settings are as follows
1) Remote Control is disabled.
2) Routing is In 1 ->Out A, In 2 ->Out B.
3) Rates A and B are set to Auto.
Note:
This card is default set with remote control set to disabled. If DashBoard or a Cobalt
Remote Panel is to be used with card, enable remote control on card before installing card.
