Configuration Worksheets
Rather than trying to remember the configuration for each preset, use worksheets to record
this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on page 50 and page 51 and use
one for each preset configuration. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and outputs.
NOTE: All of the equipment in the following examples is connected through the
appropriate fiber optic transmitter or receiver.
Worksheet Example 1: System equipment
Figure 28 shows a worksheet for a switcher configured as a 24‑input by 24‑output matrix
in a fictional organization with the system hardware annotated. Inputs 10 and 11 have
no connections in this organization, so they have been crossed out on the worksheet.
Inputs 25 through 32 do not exist on this model, so they are crossed out. Similarly,
outputs 7, 14, 15, 16, and 25 through 32 are crossed out on the worksheet.

Figure 28. Worksheet Example 1: System Equipment
Inputs include PCs, an audio CD player, cameras, and an Extron VTG 400D. Output devices
include monitors, front and rear projectors, a stereo, and a VCR for recording presentations.
The VTG 400D video test generator connected to input 12 enables a video test pattern
to be sent to one, several, or all output devices for problem isolation or adjustment
purposes. An audio test tape or CD could be used in a similar manner to check the audio
components.
