• Front Lock button
  The front panel control buttons can be locked to prevent accidental use or operation by unauthorized persons. Press the LOCK button for two seconds to lock or unlock the front panel. When the panel is locked, all buttons except the LOCK button will not function until the front panel is unlocked. The LOCKED/UNLOCKED state is shown on the LCD panel and by the LED above the LOCK button, which is lit when the front panel is fully LOCKED. When the unit is UNLOCKED, press and hold down the LOCK button for six seconds – The LCD panel will show the following (any exiting numbers indicates that those buttons are already locked):
  Output: ——-
  Input: ——-
  Pressing any of the numbered Output or Input buttons will toggle the lock status of that button. The button will become locked when the respective button number is shown on the LCD panel. When all selections are done, press the ENTER button to set the new LOCK/UNLOCK states of those buttons. Whenever a locked Output or Input button is activated, the LCD panel will show that the button is locked. In this mode, the LOCK LED is not lit. To unlock those buttons, repeat the above steps to remove the button numbers from the LCD panel before pressing ENTER to accept the changes.

Rear Panel

• LAN (10M/100M), RS232 are for PC control

• Analog Audio IN/OUT ports bind to corresponding HDMI ports.
  For example: If HDMI 1 audio source is selected with External LR, then analog AUDIO IN LR1 (with phoenix connector) will be selected to replace the embedded audio of the HDMI input 1 data stream. If HDMI 1 audio source is selected with AUTO by PC TOOL or command, then will use the original embedded audio of input HDMI 1 as its audio data stream. If the input is DVI signal, no matter how it is set up, system will get external analog audio input. Analog AUDIO OUT n will always output the same audio content with HDMI OUTPUT n Analog Audio IN/OUT connection

• IR IN and IR OUT
  IR IN/OUT routing follows video matrix routing, no need to separately control IR matrix

• Audio Input
  4 3-way Phoenix connectors to input external analog LR audio, user can select this audio to replace the corresponding embedded HDMI audio

• Audio Output
  4 5-way Phoenix connectors to output balanced LR audio, and 4 mini Toslink jackets to output analog LR audio and digital S/Pdif audio The 4 Audio output (LR and Toslink) channels can be independent of video and switched by PC Tool or commands

RS232/LAN Control
