For each display scheme, the input buttons blink or light sequentially to indicate the
approximate volume of the selected output. Volume is defined as a percentage of the input
audio signal that is applied to the output. From 0% of volume, the first Esc (>) button push
applies 5.5% of the input audio signal. From 5.5% on, each Esc (>) push applies 1.5% more
of the input audio signal to the output:
• Push Esc (>) button again — 5.5% + 1.5% = 7% volume
• XTP CrossPoint 1600 — The Input 1 button blinks slowly
• XTP CrossPoint 3200 — The Input 1 button lights steadily
• Push Esc (>) button twice more — 7% + 1.5% + 1.5% = 10% volume
• XTP CrossPoint 1600 — The Input 1 button lights steadily
• XTP CrossPoint 3200 — The Input 1 and Input 2 button light steadily
• Push Esc (>) button 19 times more — 10% + (19 times 1.5%) = 38.5% volume
• XTP CrossPoint 1600 — The Input 1 through 5 buttons light steadily and the
Input 6 button blinks
• XTP CrossPoint 3200 — The Input 1 through Input 11 buttons light steadily and
the Input 12 button blinks
When all input buttons are lit for any switcher model, the audio output is 100% of the audio
input level.
Another way to view the volume level is to think in terms of the attenuation that is applied to
the output. Attenuation reduction is indicated by the lit or blinking input buttons: when fewer
input buttons are lit, attenuation is greater (and the volume is quieter).
• At minimum volume, all input buttons are unlit or background illuminated and 76 dB of
attenuation is applied to the output. The audio output is effectively muted.
• The first step of volume increase causes the Input 1 button to blink. Attenuation is
reduced by 13 dB (63 dB of attenuation is applied to the output).
• The second step of volume increase reduces the attenuation by an additional 1 dB
(62 dB of attenuation is applied to the output). (On the XTP CrossPoint 3200, the Input
1 button lights steadily.)
• Successive steps of volume increase cause consecutive input buttons to first blink and
then light steadily. (On the XTP CrossPoint 3200, each consecutive button indicates a
1 dB attenuation reduction when blinking and a 2 dB attenuation reduction when lit.)
For example: When lit steadily, the Input 3 button indicates the following, depending
on the switcher model:
• XTP CrossPoint 1600 — 52 dB of attenuation when compared to the Input 3
button blinking (53 dB to 55 dB of attenuation). The blinking Input 4 button (49 dB
to 51 dB of attenuation) is at least 2 dB less than the blinking Input 3 button (53 dB
minus 51 dB) and at most 6 dB less (55 dB minus 49 dB).
• XTP CrossPoint 3200 — 58 dB of attenuation when compared to the Input
3 button blinking (59 dB of attenuation). The blinking Input 4 button (57 dB of
attenuation) is 6 dB less than the steadily-lit Input 2 button (60 dB minus 57 dB).
• On the XTP CrossPoint 3200, the volume indications of the buttons are additive.
For example: Input 1 lit (23 dB [22 dB + 1 dB] of attenuation reduction), Input
2 lit (2 dB [1 dB + 1 dB] of attenuation reduction), and Input 3 blinking (1 dB of
attenuation reduction) indicate that the output attenuation has been reduced
by a total of 25 dB (22 dB + 2 dB + 1 dB = 25 dB).
• At full volume, no attenuation is applied to the output and all input buttons are lit
steadily.
