Switcher Indications
It is not the purpose of this manual to define
the switcher’s front panel indications, but two
of the switcher’s LEDs indicate operation by
the IR 501 remote control (figure 3).
Other indications are identified where
appropriate in the Operations section.
8
Infrared remote sensor — This
sensor receives infrared (IR) signals from the optional
IR 501 small matrix universal remote control. The IR
remote control must be pointed within 30 degrees of this
sensor for best results.
9
Power LED — This LED blinks off and on to indicate that
an IR signal has been received.
10
Audio Setup LED (A/V switchers only) — This LED lights
for a second when an improper or unexpected IR
command is received.
Operation
Most functions can be performed by pushing a similar sequence
of
{function}
and
I/O
buttons (figure 4).

• Video and audio operations require only one
{function}
button.
• Video-only or audio-only operations require two
{function}
buttons (one to identify the function, one to identify video or
audio).
• For numbers higher than 9, press the
+10
button and then
press the applicable
0
through
9
button.
• Creating a set of ties requires two sequences (the input
sequence and then the output[s] sequence) and then the
ENTER
button.
Sample Operations
The following examples show operations with specific
input, output, and preset numbers. Use your own
numbers as desired.
The switcher’s Power LED flashes whenever the switcher
receives an IR command. Other switcher indications are
identified in the following examples where appropriate.
For detailed descriptions of how the switcher indicates ties
and presets, refer to the appropriate matrix switcher’s
manual.
Many operations require a sequence of IR commands.
When multiple IR commands are required, the entire
sequence must be completed within 5 seconds. If a valid
sequence is not completed within 5 seconds, the switcher
times out and discards all received IR commands
Create ties
By default, you create video and audio (audio follow) ties using
the IR 501. By pushing one extra button you can create audio-
breakaway ties.
1. Press the
INPUT
button to specify an input selection. The
switcher's Video LED and Audio LEDs light.
To create video and audio ties, skip step 3.
2. Specify video or audio:
a. For video-only tie(s), press the
VIDEO
button to
specify a video selection. The switcher's Video LED
remains lit and the Audio LED goes off.
b. For audio-only tie(s), press the
AUDIO
button to
specify an audio selection. The switcher's Audio LED
remains lit and the Video LED goes off.
3. Press the
5
button to select input 5. The switcher's Input 5
LED lights.
4. Press the
OUTPUT
button to specify output selection(s).
5. Press the
3
,
4
, and
8
buttons to select outputs 3, 4,
and 8. The switcher's selected Output LEDs blink.
6. Press the
