56. When using Smart Routing, a black screen may appear when switching inputs.

SmartRouting is a function that virtually increases the maximum number of inputs.

This function automatically pulls in the necessary signals, but if the maximum bandwidth is exceeded when switching signals, the video is disconnected in advance and connected to the new video.

Therefore, when switching video under conditions that exceed the maximum bandwidth, a black screen may appear and a clean switch may not be achieved.

During operation, use the system so that the total of the current IP input and the next IP input does not exceed the maximum bandwidth, or input a signal to the preview bus in advance before switching to the program bus.
