4. Control Operations
4.1. Front Panel Button control
Users can control MMX3232 rapidly and directly with its front panel buttons. To switch
AV/A/ V signal, please operate the buttons under the following format:
Format: “Input Channel” + “AV” +“Output Channel”+“Enter”
Note:
1) “Switch Mode”: Audio & Video synchronal (AV) or separate switching mode (Audio/
Video)
2) “Input Channel”: Fill with the number of input channel to be controlled,
3) “Output Channel”: Fill with the number of output channels to be controlled. Press
“All” to select all the outputs.
4) Use “,” button to separate multiple I/O channels, and press “ENTER” button to
confirm the operation.
5) The input/output channels on the rear panel are counting from left to right, top to
bottom.
6) The input delay time between two numbers of every input& output channel must be
less than 5 seconds; otherwise the operation will be cancelled.
Example:
1. To transfer input 1 to output 11, press input “1”, output “0” “1” and “Enter”.
2. To transfer signals from input 1 to all output channels, press buttons in this order:
“1”, “All”.
Other Functional Buttons:
Buttons Description Operation
UNDO return to the previous
status Status 1: Input 6 -> output 6
Press input “6” + “AV”+ output 4 to change
the connection. Press “Undo” to return to
Status 1.

Backspace the last
operation If you press buttons “1”, “AV”, “2”, “” in order, then “2” will be canceled.
THROUGH Get straight I/O
connection, e.g. input 1->
output 1, input 2-> output
2.
Format: “Input Channel”+”Through”
If you press buttons “ALL”, “THROUGH” in
order, then the result will be like input 1
output 1, input 2output 2, input 3output
3 … input 16output 16.
