Definitions

The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout this manual:

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 — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.

Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also called configuration 0)

Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 64 global memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. All presets can be selected from the front panel for either saving or retrieving. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. All presets are also accessible under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.

Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.

Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of 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 presets per room.

Input and output buttons

NIf the switcher has fewer inputs or outputs than input or output buttons, only the buttons for which the switcher has an input or output perform the function of selecting and identifying that input or output.
