Definitions
The following terms apply to Extron Matrix Switchers, and are used throughout
this manual:
Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never
be tied to more than one input.)
Configuration — May consist of one tie or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently being used
(also called configuration 0).
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to
twelve global memory presets can be stored in memory. The input buttons
select the desired preset memory location to load or retrieve a preset.
When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current
configuration. One preset can be assigned to each input button.
Input buttons, output buttons, and LEDs
If the switcher has fewer inputs and outputs than input and output buttons
and LEDs, only the applicable buttons and LEDs perform the function of
selecting and identifying an input or output.
1
Input 1 through 12 buttons and LEDs — The input buttons have two
independent functions: to select an input and to select a preset. The input
LEDs identify selected inputs. A more detailed explanation of the two
functions is included in Front Panel Operations beginning on page 3-4.
2
Output 1 through 8 buttons and LEDs — The output buttons and LEDs
select and identify outputs. On audio models the output LEDs also display
the user-adjustable audio level of the selected input. A more detailed
explanation of the two functions is included in Front Panel Operations
beginning on page 3-4.
Control buttons and LEDs
3
Enter button — The Enter button saves changes when you set up a new
configuration. To create a simple configuration, specify video, audio, or both
[see I/O selection buttons (
7
) and (
8
)], press the desired input button (
1
),
press the desired output buttons (
2
), and press the Enter button.
