layer is missing (i.e. external routing switcher), the V button will blink instead of being a

A (Audio levels) button will enable the Audio level(s) to switch. If any configured audio
layer is missing (i.e. external routing switcher), the A button will blink instead of being a
steady on.
In normal operation with at least one audio level configured:
• The V button will be on by default.
The A button will be on by default.
• The V and A buttons will toggle on/off when pressed.
In normal operation with no audio level configured
:
• The V button will remain on and will not respond to any selection of this button.

Destination based Switching
1. Select an output
2. Select (enable level) to be switched by toggling the “A” and “V” button.- see above
3. Select an input (In auto take mode, the switch will occur immediately.)
4. If auto take mode is not enabled the “Take” button will blink RED- press take to initiate
the switch.
Break-away Switching
After selecting an output the “A” and “V” buttons may light indicating that both audio and
video are preset to switch. Pressing the “A” or “V” button toggles the button on and off.
On= enabled, Off= disabled. If video is only to be switched, press the “A” button turning it
off so that only the video will switch.
Destination based Status
When an output is selected, the input currently connected to that output will light. When
video and audio(if available) are routed from the same source then only that source
button lamp will be lit.
Selected output button will be GREEN.
Input button colors:
CYAN to indicate video and audio.
GREEN to indicate video only.
BLUE to indicate audio only.
When a crosspoint switch is initiated from a point of control other than the local
pushbutton interface, AND it involves the currently selected destination, THEN the source
button tallies will be updated automatically.
