Mode
and Debug Mode. When connecting to the DVR16x16 via RS-232, it
will start in Command Mode (see Command Mode on p. 19 for options).

includes instructional menus. The following section details the use of the
Debug Mode.

When you connect to the DVR16X16 to a computer via an RS-232 connec-
tion, you will see the following screen (results from HDR16X16 shown):

USING THE SMARTCONTROL SOFTWARE (continued)

Main Routing Window

The Main Routing Window enables you to control the router connections by
means of the cross-point panel, the button panel, or with the pre-recorded
routes called macros.

Cross-point Panel:

Simply click on the cross point itself. The input on the

left will then be routed to the output above.

Note: Inputs can be routed to several different outputs, but each output
can only have a single input at any one time. So you can have several con-
nections horizontally but not vertically.

The Button Panel:

To broadcast all outputs to an input, hold the CTRL key

down and click on an input.

Macros:

This section of the window is used to save and play black macros.

Macros store a set sequence of routes.
