1. Log-in
To operate the Matrix Switcher System, a registered
operator must first supply his/her Operator Number and
Password to the system.
The operator number and password are established by
using the REGISTRATION table, See page 39 for more
details on operator number registration.
If an attempt is made to enter an operator number and
password that do not match with the registered operator
numbers and passwords, entry into this system is
denied.
As shown in the examples below, there are two (2) additional attributes associated with an operator: operator
level and priority. These items are described in more
detail on page 11.
Note:
Initially,
Operator Number: 1
Password: 12345
are registered at the factory to allow access for first
time system programming.
2. Camera and Monitor Selection
After logged in, the desired camera and monitor combination can be selected.
Basically, any combination of camera and monitor,
which are connected to the Switcher, can be selected
as shown below.
Operator Name: Mike
Operator Number: 1
Operator level: 1
Password: 07171
Priority: 1
Operator Name: Robert
Operator Number: 15
Operator level: 3
Password: 11524
Priority: 8
General Procedures
1. Select the desired monitor. (Monitor and Switcher

(ESC) button to select the desired monitor.
For example:
When selecting Monitor Number 5:
Press 5, then press the MON (ESC) button.
Note: The desired monitor selection may not be avail-
able due to one of the following reasons:
1. The system controller used for selecting a particular
monitor is not allowed access to that monitor
because of controller partitioning.
See page 13 for more details.
2. The desired monitor is currently selected by another
operator who has a higher operator priority, and
therefore, control over that monitor.
In this case, the BUSY Indicator blinks.
2-2. Camera Selection

14. System Controller-Monitor Partitioning
This feature is used to prevent specific System Controllers from controlling the outputs of specific monitors.
It prevents an operator from unintentionally gaining control over a monitor that may not be associated with his/her station.
This table shows the system status in real time.
Possible Active modes, as indicated in this table, are
defined below.
A : Alarmed
SP : Spot
TMM : Tour Sequence
GMM : Group Sequence
P : Paused Sequence
CAMERA : Camera Setup
SETUP : System Setup
RECALL : Alarm Recall Display
STATUS : System Status Display
Note: The sequence number is inversely displayed on
the table when a sequence runs in the reverse
direction.
For example:
The following example demonstrates the use of
both system controller-monitor partitioning and
operator priority.
• Camera: 8 sets
• Monitor: 3 sets
• System Controller: 3 sets
• Operator: 3 persons
Setting Procedure
1. Operator Number 1 has the first priority. Cameras 1
- 8 can be selected by Monitor 1.
2. Operator Number 2 has the second priority.
Cameras 1-5 can be selected by Monitor 2 (limited
access due to operator partitioning).
3. Operator Number 3 also has the second priority.
Cameras 4 - 8 can be selected by Monitor 3.

CAMERA SITE CONTROL
1. In the above system, when Operators 1 and 2 both
select camera 3 simultaneously, the selection of
Operator 1 is allowed because Operator 1 has a
higher priority.
2. Operator 2 cannot select camera 6 because operator's partitioning limits access to cameras 1 - 5 by
Operator 2.
3. Operator 2 cannot control Monitor 3 because controller partitioning prevents access to Monitor 3 by
Operator 2.
15. Synchronizing the Sequence with External Timing
The camera switching interval (Sequence Dwell Time)
can be synchronized with the time lapse mode set in the
associated Time Lapse VTR.
Select the On or Off mode to meet each monitor’s
requirements on the EXT TIMING setup table.
Caution: Set the interval time for the external timing sig-
nal of the external equipment to one (1) second or
more.
If the interval is set to less than one (1) second, the
system will not work properly.
16. RS-485 Site Communication
The parameters for communication with the Camera Site
can be set on the RS485 CAM COM. setup table.
Usually, the Baud Rate is set to 9,600 bps, with a Wait
Time of 100 ms.
(The WV-RM70 Camera Controller or a modem may be
required in the system.)
Note: Be sure to select the correct Baud Rate when
using a modem.
17. Clock
On-screen clock display is available.
The date and time can be set on the CLOCK SET setup
table.
18. RS-232C Port
This port is used for connecting with a Personal
Computer. The memory of the WJ-SX350 Matrix
Switcher can be loaded or saved.
Also, a Personal Computer can be substituted for the
Switcher to control the system.
Note: For using a Personal Computer, you will need
special software offered separately.
