Matrix 12800 Operation, cont’d

In the following procedures, access to a specific screen is described by assuming you are beginning at the startup screen and listing the color of the buttons and their displayed message, in order, separated by a > symbol. For example, to access the Make Ties screen, touch the blue User > amber I/O > green Make Ties buttons.

The button progression lists all buttons that may be necessary to access a specific screen. You will frequently find that you do not need to touch one of the buttons listed, either because it is selected by default or it is selected because you are already in that family of functions and screens. You can omit touching those buttons, but there is no effect if you do touch them.

User Screens

The User family of screens include the I/O screens (four View Ties and two Make Ties screens — the most-recently-viewed I/O View Ties screen is the default screen), the Preset screens (Global Preset and Room Preset), the Mute screen, and

the DSVP screen.

I/O screens

There are six I/O screens: four for viewing ties and two for making ties. When you touch the amber I/O button, the FPC displays one of the View Ties screens by default. The green Make Ties button on the screen changes when touched; it is labeled Make Ties on the View Ties screen and View Ties on the Make Ties screen. To toggle between the two screens, touch the green Make Ties/View Ties button.

Each screen has a Signal Type field that indicates in green those signal types for which the Matrix 12800 has been virtualized. If the switcher is not configured for a given signal type, that indicator remains white.

Each I/O screen automatically updates every few seconds to ensure that the configuration that is displayed reflects ties created from other control points (such as other FPCs, the Windows Matrix 12800/6400/3200 Virtualization/Control software, or an RS-232 connection).

Viewing ties

There are three ways to view ties (figure 3-8):

•View which input is tied to a selected output on the View Ties: input-by- output-selection screen ( 1 ).

•View which output(s) is/are tied to a selected input on the View Ties: outputs-by-input selection screen ( 2 ).

•View all ties on either View Ties: alternate view screen ( 3 and 4 ).
