end digit. If you have 15 cameras, you’ll have to do CAM1-9, then do it again this time start with
“CAM|10” and it will auto-name CAM 11-15.
• If a source has two characters or less, the display will show very large text. This is handy when
you want to identify a camera as just “1” instead of “CAM 1”.
Lastly, on each input you can change the color of the LCD. You have a choice of Orange, Green and
Yellow. This is typically set by the operators, as are the names.
Please take a moment to label any sources you may have wired into the switcher. For now, avoid
changing the names of the internal sources and only rename physical BNC inputs.
VIDEO/KEY and Table Assignments
Next, we need to set the Main Video/Key pair assignments. Think of this assignment as the “back” of a
patch-panel. Please press “Main, V/K Pair Assign” which will take us to Menu 7322.5.
The left table is showing us what are called Video/Key (V/K) pair assign numbers. These numbers aren’t
really important to the end user, but each of these pairs needs to be accounted for. Again, think of the
back of a patch panel… we need to set what’s “normal.” The right table is a combination of physical
inputs (BNC connectors) in the switcher and other internal signals. This table can be quite large. If this
is a brand-new switcher fresh from the factory, these tables will be initialized. If not, let’s clear the table
out. Please press the purple “Default Recall” button and say YES. We have now set the Main V/K (or the
back of our fictitious patch panel) to factory default. Notice that V/K pair #1 is Black. V/K Pair #2 is
CAM1, V/K pair #3 is CAM2, etc. (the names are for examples only. Yours will likely say “IN1”, “IN2”, etc.
Please take a moment to scroll the left table and see what’s there.
After you’ve had a chance to look at the left table, take a look at the right table of sources that can be
placed in the Main V/K pair table. A couple of notes here: You will find all the primary inputs here (if it’s
