Definitions
The following terms, which apply to Extron digital matrix switchers, are used throughout
this guide:
• 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 — One or more ties or sets of ties
• Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher
(also called configuration 0)
• EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) — Resolution, refresh rate, and pixel
clock information for a display device. This information is stored in memory at system
power-up and each time a new display device is connected. The EDID is then made
available to be assigned to any input.
• Global memory preset — A conguration that has been stored. Up to 32 global
presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to the input buttons
and (where necessary) output buttons. All models have 32 presets available from the
front panel and through RS-232, RS-422, or Ethernet.
When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
