Mute output X! audio (audio off). Unmute output X! audio (audio on). 1 = mute on, 0 = mute off.

Mute all audio outputs.

Unmute all audio outputs.

Save, recall, and directly write presets

NOTES: • If you try to recall a preset that is not saved, the matrix switcher responds with the error code E11.

• The following characters are invalid or not recommended or not recommended in preset names: + - , ` @ = [ ] { } ‘ “ ; : \ and ?.

Direct write process

Command character is a comma.

Save current ties as preset 9. Command character is a period.

Recall preset 5, which becomes the current configuration.

NOTE: The direct write of a global preset should always be preceded by a clear global preset ties command of that same preset number,

as shown below. In a directly-written preset, the tied input of each output position (or no tied input) remains unchanged unless

overwritten or cleared.

If you do not clear the ties in a global preset number before you directly write a global preset to that number, ties that are part of the previous version of the specified preset with the same number can unexpectedly become part of the newly-created preset.

Clear ties of a global preset

Directly write a global preset

Example:

Clear all ties in preset X1).

Enter as many ties as are valid for this configuration. The ! tie all, & tie RGB, % tie video, and $ tie audio commands are all valid. Clear all ties in preset 27.

Brackets are shown to separate ties for clarity only. Create global preset 27, which ties input 2 video and audio to output 5, input 10 audio to output 2, input 13 video to output 11, and input 3 video to output 8.

NOTE: X! = Input number (for tie)
