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, pixel
clock, and audio channel configuration 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 preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global presets can
be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned first to the input buttons, then if
when all input buttons have presets assigned, to the output buttons. All models have
16 presets available from the front panel and 32 through RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet.
When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
