AT-OME-MS42

21

Device Operation

This mode is desirable when integrating the AT-OME-MS42 with a video conference system.  In this mode, both 

static input and output routing are specified.  

Auto-Switching (page 23)

 must be enabled.  However, the specified 

static input will be removed from the auto-switching pool.  For example, if the 

HDMI IN 3

 port is specified as a static 

input, then auto-switching will “skip” this port when auto-switching.

Matrix Mode w/ Static Route

 drop-down list and select the output that will be “static”.  This is the output 

that will not change.
