Viewing a configuration
The current configuration can be viewed using the front panel buttons. The
View-Only mode prevents inadvertent changes to the current configuration.

“Muting and unmuting video and/or audio outputs” on page 3-31.
View the current configuration as follows:
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. All of the buttons for outputs that are not
tied light:

• Green : No tied video input
• Red : No tied audio input
3 . Select video, audio, or both to view by pressing the Video button and/or the
Audio button.
4 . Select the desired input or output(s) whose ties you wish to view by pressing
the input and output buttons.

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.
• To see all ties of the current configuration, press and release each input and
output button, one at a time, with the Video button and the Audio button lit.
