DXP DVI, DXP DVI Pro, and DXP HDMI Series • Operation 33
To set up I/O groups using the front panel:
1. Press the Esc button to clear any input, output, or control buttons that may be lit.
2. To enter I/O group mode, press and hold the Input 1 and Output 1 buttons
simultaneously until the buttons light to indicate the ungrouped inputs and outputs,
then release the buttons.
3. Press and release one of the control buttons to select a group:
• Press the Enter button to select group 1.
• Press the Preset button to select group 2 (shown at
right).
• Press the View button to select group 3.
• Press the Esc button to select group 4.
4. Select the desired inputs and outputs to assign to the group by pressing their buttons.
5. Press and release the Video and Audio buttons to exit I/O group mode, or allow the
mode to time out after approximately 30 seconds.
NOTES: • Ties between groups (for example, an input in group 1 tied to an output in
group 2) can be created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.
• Ties that existed before I/O groups were created to include them remain in
effect, even if they include inputs and outputs in different groups.
• Presets that tie inputs and outputs across groups can be created via
Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422. These presets are selectable from the front
panel.
• An input or output can be assigned to only one group. If an input or output
is already assigned to a group and you assign it to a different group, the
older grouping is discarded in favor of the new grouping.
• You can break audio away from the video for a given input or output that are
assigned to different groups by pressing the Video or Audio button after you
select I/O group mode (between steps 2 and 3, above) to isolate the video
or audio.
• Audio breakaway across different groups can be confusing when you are
operating the front panel. Breakaway grouping is not displayed by the Matrix
Switchers Control Program, HTML pages, or SIS commands and is not
recommended (after they are created, breakaway ties are displayed).
• For I/O groups to function, at least two groups must be created.
• I/O groups are protected when front panel lock mode 2 is selected. You can
view the groups in lock mode 2, but you cannot change them from the front
panel (see “Locking and Unlocking the Front Panel (Executive Modes)”
on page 39).
