Extron electronic 68-1383-01 REV. E manual Configuration Worksheets

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 71 (32-input button and -output button switchers) and page 72 (16-button and 12-button switchers) and use one for each preset configuration. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and outputs. Use different colors for video and audio.

NOTE: All of the equipment in the following examples is connected through the appropriate MTP transmitter or receiver.

Worksheet Example 1: System equipment

Figure 44 shows a portion of a worksheet for an MTPX Plus 1616 in a fictional organization with the system hardware annotated. Inputs 10, 11, and 13 have no connection in this organization, so they are crossed out on the worksheet. Similarly, outputs 7 and 9 through 16 are crossed out.

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

The VTG 300 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 out the audio components.
