Extron electronic 3200, 7200 manual O Grouping of Incompatible Video Formats

I/O Grouping

I/O grouping (see figure 22) is a matrix switcher feature that allows you to subdivide the front panel controls of the matrix into four smaller functional sub-switchers and limit tie creation using the front panel only. Inputs and outputs can be assigned to one of four groups or not assigned to any group.

Figure 22. I/O Grouping of Incompatible Video Formats

NOTE: The I/O grouping feature is tied into the Switch Reference connectors on the switcher. Ties to any input in I/O group 1 use the tri-level sync reference. Ties to any output in I/O group 2 use the bi-level sync reference. Assign sync-critical inputs and outputs to the appropriate I/O groups.

When you are creating ties on the front panel, inputs and outputs that are assigned to a group can be tied only to other outputs and inputs within the same group. For example, a front panel operator cannot tie an input that is assigned to group 1 to an output that is assigned to group 2. Ungrouped inputs and outputs can be switched to outputs and inputs in any group. Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2) can be created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.
