4.Select the desired inputs and outputs to assign to the group by pressing their buttons.

5.Press and release the Video and Audio buttons to exit I/O group mode, or allow the mode to time out after approximately 30 seconds.

NOTES: • Ties between groups (for example, an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2) can be created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.

•Ties that existed before I/O groups were created to include them remain in effect, even if they include inputs and outputs in different groups.

•Presets that tie inputs and outputs across groups can be created via

Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422. These presets are selectable from the front panel.

•An input or output can be assigned to only one group. If an input or output is already assigned to a group and you assign it to a different group, the older grouping is discarded in favor of the new grouping.

•You can break audio away from the video for a given input or output that are assigned to different groups by pressing the Video or Audio button after you select I/O group mode (between steps 2 and 3, above) to isolate the video or audio.

•Audio breakaway across different groups can be confusing when you are operating the front panel. Breakaway grouping is not displayed by the Matrix Switchers Control Program, HTML pages, or SIS commands and is not recommended (after they are created, breakaway ties are displayed).

•For I/O groups to function, at least two groups must be created.

•I/O groups are protected when front panel lock mode 2 is selected. You can view the groups in lock mode 2, but you cannot change them from the front panel (see “Locking and Unlocking the Front Panel (Executive Modes)” on page 39).
