Searching Mode
The panel indicates that it is in ‘searching mode’ by flashing the source and destination
buttons and LEDs in a back and forth pattern. Button presses will have no effect whilst
searching.
The panel will remain in ‘searching mode’ until it has established communications with a
SW808 board. If communication with a SW808 is lost, it will return to ‘searching mode’.

present Shows which paths
have signals The eight LEDs under the source buttons show video in to the SW808,
and the eight LEDs under the destination buttons show video out of the
SW808 and are therefore routing dependent.
Changing crosspoint assignments
To change routing, first press the destination button and then the new source button. The
new source button will flash and the TAKE button will light. Then press the TAKE button
and the new routing will be updated on the SW808. Where the output selection remains
unchanged any source may be selected and routed to that output by simply selecting the
source and pressing TAKE.
Tip: Always assign sources to destinations by first selecting a destination followed by a source to
route to that destination.
To undo routing that hasn’t been ‘taken’ press the destination and then the original
source. This will be the source button that is lit and not flashing.
Viewing crosspoint assignments
To see which source is connected to which destination, press the destination button and
the source connected to it will light. One source can go to more than one destination.
