3.4 Operating SWM Matrix via front panel
Note: Using front panel you can operate only ‘Matrix Switch’ features.
1. Check the current route:
To check which input is currently connected with chosen output, simply press correct output key
and look which inputs button comes up.
Example:
OUT 1 pressed –IN 2 lit up (means the output 1 current input is input 2)
2. Change route:
Select output key from outputs key, after it lit up choose an input source you would like to appear on
that output, after lit up press enter.
Example:
OUT 1 + IN 1 + ENTER (video from input 1 will come up on screen connected to output 1)
3. All outputs broadcast one input
Press all key from the menu and after choosing the input, press enter to execute Example:
ALL + IN 1+ ENTER (video from input 1 will appear on all connected screens)
4. Save a route mode:

SD-MA-025
10
Press save key, next one of the output keys (OUT 1/2/3/4/5/7/8 is valid mode number), press enter to
execute.
Example
SAVE + OUT 1 + ENTER (current route is saved as mode 1)
5. Recall saved route
Press recall key, next one of the output keys (which one represents saved mode number) press enter
Example:
RECALL + OUT 1 + ENTER (route saved as a mode 1 is on the screens)
3.5 About DVI-U daughter card
DVI-U daughter card support CVBS/YPbPr/VGA/DVI/HDMI signal. User can select the exact signal
by PC Tool (refer to chapter 4.8 Signal Setting)
User need use different adapter to meet different signal, for example when YPbPr in, user need use
YPbPr/DVI adapter
Note, YPbPr/DVI adapter and CVBS/DVI adapter are the same one

The UI after connected successfully will be as follows：
Note:
1. The baud rate is 9600 bps, and no manual configuration is required.
2. Click the drop-down list of COM port after serial port cable is connected to the PC, then it will
be updated automatically. If there’s no COM port showing, please make sure the driver is
installed correctly and then reboot your PC and try again.
3. If the button which is right to the combo box shows ‘Connected’, and the software showing
a message of ‘device response timeout’, please check the COM port whether is correct, the
cable whether is connected properly or the device whether is powered on, and then
reconnect again.
