3.1.4 Function Keys

CPX provides four operation modes for controlling Q16pro Gen2:

ButtonMode
Matrix Mode: Route input signals to output ports.
OSD Mode: Load OSD 1 or OSD 2 to output ports.
Switch Mode: Group output ports and switch the input signal assigned to the group.
Scene Mode: Load saved scenes.

3.1.4.1 Matrix Mode

CPX enters Matrix Mode automatically after startup.

The ALL key is enabled in Matrix Mode, as shown in the figure below.

In Matrix Mode, select an input signal from IN 1-16 and assign it to one or more output ports from OUT 1-16.

Check the input-output relationship on the LCD screen.

Route an input signal to an output port

For example, route input 1 to output 5 when input 1 is not assigned to any output port.

  1. Press IN 1. The IN 1 indicator lights up.
  2. Press OUT 5. The OUT 5 indicator lights up, and output 5 displays input 1.

Route an input signal to additional output ports

For example, input 1 is already assigned to output 5. Route input 1 to outputs 7 and 8.

  1. Press IN 1. The IN 1 and OUT 5 indicators light up to show the existing assignment.
  2. Press OUT 5 to remove input 1 from output 5. The OUT 5 indicator turns off.
  3. Press OUT 7 and OUT 8. The OUT 7 and OUT 8 indicators light up, and outputs 7 and 8 display input 1.

3.1.4.2 OSD Mode

Press SAVE to enter OSD Mode. The SAVE indicator lights up, as shown in the figure below.

In OSD Mode:

  • IN 1-16 loads OSD 1 to output ports 1-16.
  • OUT 1-16 loads OSD 2 to output ports 1-16.

CPX automatically detects the current OSD-to-output relationship after entering OSD Mode.

For example, if OSD 1 is loaded to output 3 and OSD 2 is loaded to output 5, the IN 3 and OUT 5 indicators light up, as shown in the figure below.

Load OSD 1 and OSD 2 to output ports

For example, load OSD 1 to output 10 and OSD 2 to output 12.

  1. Press IN 10. The IN 10 indicator lights up, indicating that OSD 1 is loaded to output 10.
  2. Press OUT 12. The OUT 12 indicator lights up, indicating that OSD 2 is loaded to output 12.

3.1.4.3 Switch Mode

Press ENTER to enter Switch Mode. The ENTER indicator lights up, as shown in the figure below.

In Switch Mode, selected output ports form a synchronous output group. Press an IN key to route an input signal to all output ports in the group.

When entering Switch Mode, CPX automatically detects the current synchronous output group.

For example, if outputs 1, 3, and 5 are in the synchronous output group, the OUT 1, OUT 3, and OUT 5 indicators light up, as shown in the figure below.

Configure a synchronous output group

For example, add outputs 9, 12, and 15 to the synchronous output group, remove output 1 from the group, and then route input 1 and input 5 to the group.

  1. Press OUT 9, OUT 12, and OUT 15 to add the outputs to the synchronous output group. The corresponding indicators light up.

  1. Press OUT 1 to remove output 1 from the group. The OUT 1 indicator turns off.
📢  Notes

Removing an output from the synchronous output group does not change its current input assignment. For example, if outputs 1, 3, and 5 display input 8 before output 1 is removed from the group, output 1 continues to display input 8.

  1. Press IN 1 to route input 1 to the synchronous output group. The IN 1 indicator lights up.

  1. Press IN 5 to route input 5 to the synchronous output group. The IN 5 indicator lights up.

3.1.4.4 Scene Mode

Press LOAD to enter Scene Mode. The LOAD indicator lights up, as shown in the figure below.

Press LOAD again to exit Scene Mode and return to Matrix Mode.

In Scene Mode, press OUT 1-16 to load the corresponding saved scene.

📢  Notes

Load only one scene at a time.

Load a scene when no scene is active

For example, load Scene 1 when no scene is currently active.

  1. Press LOAD to enter Scene Mode. The LOAD indicator lights up.
  2. Press OUT 1 to load Scene 1.
  3. Check the status on the LCD screen.

Switch to another scene

For example, Scene 5 is currently active. Switch to Scene 1.

  1. Press LOAD to enter Scene Mode. The LOAD indicator lights up.

  1. Press OUT 1 to load Scene 1.
  2. Check the status on the LCD screen.

Save a new scene

After setting the required input-output relationships, press TAKE to save the current configuration as a scene.

For example, save the current configuration to Scene 2.

  1. Press OUT 2 to select Scene 2.
  2. Press TAKE to save the current configuration to Scene 2.
