I.e., should I not touch the buttons on the HDMI 6×2 switcher and only route things with the touch panel? That might explain why touching the switcher buttons don't seem to effect anything.

Are the camera presets (1-6) on the touch panel the same as the camera presents (1-100) available in the camera's web interface?

If so, does changing them on the camera's web interface have the effect of changing them on the touch panel?

I think this must be programmable because the two cameras move at different speeds when controlled from the touch panel. It seems like each camera is receiving different parameters about how fast to move.

I know where Mon2 and Mon3 attach, but not Mon1. How did this used to be set up before I hijacked the monitors for the PC?

Answer: The Mon1 cable is dangling unattached in the cabinet. Its length suggests it used to be attached to the Mac mini. I thinks cables Mon1 and Mon2 used to run from the Mac mini to the Left and Center desk monitors. Cable Mon3 used to run from the cabinet to the right desk monitor and display whatever was being output to the sanctuary monitors.

It takes 6 HDMI inputs and has 2 HDMI outputs. The inputs come from the Blueray player, Mac mini, Apple TV, and PTZ cameras (via the two DM-RMC-100-STR receivers). I don't know where the outputs go.

Answer: One output goes to the DM Splitter and the other goes to the BlackMagic UltraStudio.

Answer: Yes they do, as inputs 1 and 2.

The signal chain goes Mac mini –> 4K scaler –> HDMI-to-DM sender –> Mon3 cable. Does that Mac mini output ever get fed back into the 6×2 switcher? If the only thing that ever appears on the sanctuary monitors is the output of the DM sender then what does the 6×2 switcher do?

Answer: The second video output of the Mac mini goes directly to the HDMI Switcher.

The signal chain listed in the question is wrong. I thought the output went from the Mac mini directly to the Scaler but I missed a step. The correct signal chain goes Mac mini –> HDMI Switcher –> 4K Scaler –> DM Splitter –> Mon3 cable and sanctuary monitors.

If the HDMI-to-DM box feeds the sanctuary monitors, and the only input into this box is the output of the iMac-and-scaler, how does the apple tv etc ever get up there?

Answer: I missed a step in the signal chain. The Mac mini plugs in to the HDMI Switcher along with the Apple TV, Bluray, and cameras. The output of the Switcher goes to the 4K scaler and DM splitter. Whichever input is chosen as the output of the HDMI Switcher gets passed along to the monitors via the splitter.

These components are listed in order of their place in the signal chain. This is not how they appear top-to-bottom in the cabinet. Indeed, the components' location in the cabinet has more to do with making them all fit nicely than with how they appear in the signal chain. Wires are running every which way.

• Crestron TSW-760 touch panel – turn on cameras and monitors, select input source to monitors, pan and zoom cameras.
• Crestron CP-3 Control Processor – I assume the touchscreen talks to this controller and it talks to the HDMI Switcher, cameras, sanctuary monitors, etc.
• Bluray player
• AppleTV
• Mac mini
• Streaming Receivers Allows the camera feed to be sent to the sanctuary monitors by converting the IP streaming video from the PTZ cameras into HDMI.
• HDMI 6x2 Switcher – Signal forwarded to monitors is selected from 6 HDMI inputs.
• HD Scaler – High def video scaler sits between the 6×2 Switcher and the multi-monitor DM Splitter.
• DM Splitter – Forwards the output signal to the desk right monitor and all sanctuary monitors.
• Whirlwind DI of some kind – It has balanced cables as input and output but I've never traced where the signal comes from or goes to.
• Blackmagic UltraStudio video processor – which I was never trained to use.

Our video cameras are Panasonic AW-HE38.

Note: Nothing in the video cabinet connects to the vMix PC or its monitor in any way.

• USB strip carrying keyboard and mouse input

• HDMI cable (labeled Mon2) that runs directly to the desk center monitor.
• HDMI cable (labeled PC1 I think) that connects to the Mac mini via a Thunderbolt port adapter and runs into the HDMI 6×2 Switcher. The output of the Switcher runs into a 4K Scaler. That output runs to the DM Splitter. That has an HDMI output (labeled Mon3) that runs to the desk right monitor, and has several ethernet cables that carry Digital Media format to the sanctuary monitors.
• Thunderbolt cable that runs to the BlackMagic UltraStudio.

This touch panel controls which HDMI input is sent to the sanctuary monitors, power on/off for the sanctuary monitors and cameras, and pan/zoom for the cameras.

These receivers convert streaming video from the PTZ cameras to HDMI that is sent to the 6x2 Switcher. There are 2 of these, one for each camera.

You don't need them to record the cameras, but you do need them to run the cameras into the HDMI switcher to display them on the sanctuary monitors.

HD Streaming Receiver

This device switches between 6 HDMI sources to send one of them to 2 HDMI outputs. We are currently only using 5 of the inputs:

1. Camera 1
2. Camera 2
3. Mac mini
4. Bluray player
5. Apple TV

Output 1 runs to the 4K Scaler and then on to the sanctuary monitors.

Output 2 runs to the BlackMagic UltraStudio.

HDMI 6x2 Switcher

This splitter receives the output signal of the HDMI switcher and sends its along to the sanctuary monitors over IP in DirectMedia (DM) format. It also has an HDMI output that we run to the desk right monitor.
