Getting Started

The switcher might seem intimidating with all the connectors and buttons, however the unit is actually very

easy to set up and use. Each feature serves a specific function and it won’t take long to get familiar with it

and know exactly what each feature does.This section of the manual will show you how to get started with

your switcher.

Plug in power using the supplied power adapter.

Connect your video sources to the inputs of video switcher - see tips below

Connect your monitor to the HDMI outputs of N8 via HDMI Cable for viewing program video

Connect your microphone/audio mixer to the 6.35mm or R/L audio inputs.

Connect amplifier to the R/L audio out or headphone to the 3.5mm port on the left upper corner of

Panel for audio monitoring

Connect mouse and keyboard to USB2.0/3.0 port of N8 if you want to use mouse and keyboard

control.

Turn on the power rocker switch at the rear of N8. At this point, the LED display will illuminate. (If this

does not happen, check your connections and retry)

Using Multi-view

The multiview is a powerful feature that lets you monitor the 8 inputs, together with the program and

preview outputs as a group of views on one screen. The multi-view also displays the media player,

streaming status, disk recording status, audio levels, logo, subtitle and other dynamics indicators.This

feature provides a comprehensive overview so you will always know exactly what is happening with your

broadcast!

Initially, as you have not yet configured inputs or added content, the Multi-view screen looks a bit barren.

Take a quick look around, but then let’s continue to configure your devices.
