Switching Routes
Step 1. Select the DEST button and then a numbered pushbutton. Alternatively, you can use the
rotary knob to scroll through the Destination numbers. The lower half of the LCD displays
the Destination and will change accordingly. If you have already customized your labels, the
device name eg: "SmartView1" will be displayed.
Step 2. Select the SRC button and then a numbered pushbutton. Alternatively, you can use the rotary
knob to scroll through the Source numbers. The numbers will scroll in alphabetical order
and not the numerical order. The top half of the LCD displays the Sources and will change
accordingly. If you have already customized your labels, the device name will be displayed.
The CLEAR button will flash white and the TAKE button will flash red. Press the TAKE button
to confirm the route change. Or, you can press the CLEAR button to discard the route change.
The pushbuttons override any existing routes, including destinations locked with Videohub software.
