4. Operation
Setup Menu
The following functions are available:
• Input — selects the exact inputs that you wish to set: ALL (inputs 5 through 8), 5
(individually), 6 (individually), 7 (individually), or 8 (individually).
• Equalization — The equalization adjustment range is from 0 (short cable
equalization) to 15 (long cable equalization). The default value is 12, which
indicates “moderate” equalization.
In general, the default should be adequate for most users, unless cables longer
than 5M are used, and unless your signals are running at high pixel clock rates
(e.g., UXGA).
• Set to Default — sets the Equalization field to the default setting of 12.
• Set to Maximum — sets the Equalization field to the maximum setting of 15.
• Set to Minimum — sets the Equalization field to the minimum setting of 0.

From the System Menu, select Executive Mode to initiate a limited front-panel lockout.
Executive mode enables seamless transitions between input sources without the need to
press TAKE. In Executive lockout mode:
• Button pushes will be ignored for all buttons except the nine input buttons and
LOGO. All turns of the rotary knobs will be ignored.
• To take an input source to Program, press the input or LOGO button without
pressing TAKE. The transition is seamless, even if you have Auto Take (in the
User Preference Menu) turned off.
• All Ethernet and serial communications commands will function normally.
• All button lights will continue to reflect the proper state of the inputs.
Use the following steps to enable and disable executive lockout mode:
1. From the Setup Menu, choose the System Menu.
2. Select Executive Mode. The following submenu appears:

Note
Inputs 5 through 8 do not need to be selected on the front
panel for this menu to change, and to apply the equalization
settings.
Note
Equalization is a subjective “visual” adjustment, which
depends on three important factors: cable length, signal
quality and cable quality. If you adjust the equalization,
optimize the setting for the lowest amount of visual artifacts.
