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 3-39 and use one for each preset configuration. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and outputs. Use different colors for video and audio.

NAll of the equipment in the following examples is connected through the appropriate fiber optic transmitter or receiver.

Worksheet example 1: System equipment

Figure 3-5 shows a worksheet for a 48-input by 32-output Fiber Matrix in a fictional organization with the system hardware annotated. Inputs 10, 11, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 through 48 have no connections in this organization, so they have been crossed out on the worksheet. Inputs 49 through 64 do not exist on this model, so they are crossed out. Similarly, outputs 7, 14, 15, 16, and 33 through 64 are crossed out on the worksheet.

Inputs include PCs, an audio CD player, cameras, and an Extron VTG 300. Output devices include monitors, front and rear projectors, a stereo, and a VCR for recording presentations.

The VTG 450 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.
