Definitions

The following terms apply to Extron Matrix Switchers, and are used throughout this guide: Tie — An input-to-output connection.

Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to more than one input.)

Configuration — May consist of one tie or one or more sets of ties.

Current configuration — The configuration that is currently being used (also called configuration 0).

Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. The FOX Matrix 3200 can store up to 32 global memory presets in memory and the FOX Matrix 7200 can store up to 64 presets. When a global preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

Room — A Room consists of a smaller subset of virtual outputs that are logically related to each other, as determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 32 rooms, each of which consists of 1 to 16 virtual outputs.

Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of virtual outputs in a single room that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. The switchers support up to 10 room presets per room. Selecting a room preset only changes the ties to outputs that are assigned to that room. All other ties outside the room are not affected.
