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.

Figure 44. Worksheet Example 1: System Equipment

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.
