Sequence Control

Run a Sequence
To run a sequence currently loaded on a monitor, press Start Sequence [Run]. If the 
sequence is stopped, the command starts sequencing. Direction of the sequencing is 
indicated in the monitor status display (if enabled), by a directional arrow and the 
letter R to the right of the sequence number. If Start Sequence [Run] is pressed 
while a sequence is already running, the switcher goes immediately to the next step 
in the sequence. Holding down Start Sequence [Run] produces a quick-scan effect. 
If Start Sequence [Run] is depressed when no sequence is loaded, an error results. If 
the monitor is in alarm, Start Sequence [Run] controls switching of alarm video 
rather than a loaded sequence.
Stop a Running Sequence
To stop a sequence that is currently running, press Hold Sequence [Hold]. The mon-
itor status display shows a S to the right of the sequence number. If the sequence is 
already stopped, pressing Hold Sequence [Hold] has no effect. If no sequence is cur-
rently loaded, pressing Hold Sequence [Hold] results in an error condition. If the 
monitor is in alarm, Hold Sequence [Hold] stops the alarm switcher rather than a 
loaded sequence.
Controlling Sequence Direction
The direction of a sequence can be set to run either forward or reverse. It is also 
possible to manually step forward or reverse through a stopped sequence. 
These actions work as follows:
If Next Sequence Step [Next] is pressed with the sequence in the stop state, the 
sequence switches forward and remains stopped. If the sequence is running when 
Next Sequence Step [Next]
 is pressed, it immediately goes to the next step and con-
tinues to run. The same is true for the Previous Sequence Step [Prev] button, but in 
the reverse direction. If either Next Sequence Step [Next] or Previous Sequence 
Step [Prev]
 is held down, quick-scan switching at a rate of approximately two steps 
per second will take place. When sequences are first loaded, their direction defaults 
to forward.
If Previous Sequence Step [Prev] is pressed while a camera sequence is running, it 
reverses the sequence. If Previous Sequence Step [Prev] is pushed while in a hold 
mode, and the display is showing the forward prompt, the first push changes the 
direction only, and a second push then switches to the previous step. 
The same is true for Next Sequence Step [Next] in the opposite direction. The mon-
itor status display shows an arrow pointing either up or down to indicate the 
sequence direction. The arrow will be to the right of the sequence number, either 
above or below the sequence run R or stopped S indicator. If the monitor is in 
alarm, Previous Sequence Step [Prev] and Next Sequence Step [Next] control the 
alarm switcher rather than the loaded sequence.
If no sequence is loaded, pressing Next Sequence Step [Next] or Previous Sequence 
Step [Prev]
 automatically steps the switcher through the camera numbers in numer-
ical order.
