Signal Assignment and Selection
Assigning signals to buttons
Each of the 32 cross-point buttons and reentry buttons has a corresponding 
button number, to which you assign a signal.
In addition to the signals input to the PRIMARY INPUTS 1 to 80 connectors 
(1 to 34 connectors for the MVS-8000SF/8000ASF/8000GSF) on the rear 
panel of the switcher, you can also select signals generated within the switcher.
Each button has assigned to it a video signal and a key signal, forming a pair. 
You can set these video and key combinations in a Setup menu. 
For details of Setup menu operations, see “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign 
Menu)” in Chapter 19 (Volume 3).
