Using this production switcher is easy. First, connect the correct power supply that comes with it to get it up and running. The manual can be a great help if you have any questions during setup. When using, you can input your signals through the 24 inputs and get the processed output from the 10 outputs. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Regularly check the connections to make sure they are secure. And don't forget about the wear spot on the panel. Just be a bit more careful around that area to avoid any further damage.
