4. Operations of the Front Panel
There are two parts in the front panel.
1) System monitor: the system switching and status monitor.
2) Crystal buttons: with green back-light indicating, including I/O buttons and function
buttons.
Buttons
Function Description
INPUTS
Input buttons. It is the number of every input channel (64 channels
in total), ranging from "0" to "9".
OUTPUTS
Output buttons. It is the number of every output channel (64
channels in total), ranging from "0" to "9".
AV
AV synchronal button: To transfer video and audio signal
synchronously by the switcher.
Operation: Press buttons in this order “3”, “AV”, “4”.
,
Division button: to divide the output channels when switching to
more than one channel.
Example: To transfer input 1 to output 1,8,15, you need to press
this button between each two output channels.
ENTER
Confirmation button: Confirm the switching operation. The
operation will not be executed by the matrix without confirmation.
ALL
All button: To transfer an input channel to all output channels.
Example1: To transfer video and audio signals from input channel
No.12 to all output channels
Operation: Press buttons in this order “12”, “ALL”

Modular Matrix Switcher 64x64
PTN Electronics Limited 7 www.PTN-electronics.com
Example2: To transfer all input signals to the corresponding output
channels respectively. In another word, to switch to this status:
1->1, 2->2, 3->3, 4->4…64->64.
Operation: Press buttons in this order “ALL”, “THROUGH”
THROUGH
Through button: To transfer the signals directly to the
corresponding output channels
Example: To transfer the signals from input channel No. 3 to their
corresponding output channels
Operation: Press buttons in this order “3”, “THROUGH”
UNDO
Undo button: To resume to the status before the command just
performed
Backspace button: To backspace the latest input button
Switching Operation:
With the front control panel, the MMX matrix could be control directly and rapidly by
pressing the buttons under below format.
“Input Channel”+ “Switch Mode”+“Output Channel”+“Enter”
1) “Switch Mode”: Audio & Video synchronal or break away switching mode, which
includes button “AV”.
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 control
4) MMX6464 needs to use “,” button to separate multiple outputs, and “ENTER”button
to confirm the operation.
5) The input/output channels on the rear panel are counting from left to right,
top to bottom. And if the input/output channel is two digits number, the input
delay time between two numbers must less than 5 seconds; otherwise the
operation will be cancelled.
