Annunciation (Optional)

The Matrix Switcher has the capability of announcing the name of

an input source whenever it is selected. Annunciation provides

instant feedback when changing the source selection using a C-Bus

switch, amplifier or remote control.

Annunciation is broadcast through the speakers in the zone where

the input source has changed. Using MARPA configuration

software, the installer can disable this feature.

D. HI Priority Level Adjustment

The following actions may vary depending on how the installer

configures the Matrix Switcher.

 Audio connected to the low priority input is broadcast at the

currently set volume, to all amplifiers that are switched on and

have Source Input 1, 2, 3 or 4 selected.

 The installer uses MARPA configuration software to set the

volume of the audio connected to the high priority input that is

broadcast to all amplifiers.

 Any amplifiers in standby mode are switched on to ensure the

audio is broadcast as widely as possible. Five seconds after the

broadcast audio ceases, amplifiers return to standby (if

applicable) and to the previously set volume.

 A high priority (HI) broadcast uses left and right channel

speakers. A low priority (LO) broadcast uses right channel

speakers only. Audio connected to a high priority broadcast

input must be of sufficient volume to trigger a broadcast.
