NOTES: • Video ties can only be made within the following groups, never

between the groups:

• The computer video group (inputs 1 through 8 and outputs 1

through 6)

• The low resolution video group (inputs 9 through 14 and outputs 7

through 12)

• Audio can be tied only to outputs 1 through 6. If you make a video and

audio tie from the low resolution video group (inputs 9 through 14),

audio is automatically redirected to tie it and output in the computer

subgroup (outputs 1 through 6).

• See “Creating a Configuration,” on page 24 to identify the outputs to which audio inputs are tied.

• When audio is broken away between groups, the audio tie is shown in crosshatched red boxes ().

Icons in I/O Boxes — Erases any numbers in the I/O boxes in the Control Program window (see figure 34). You can place icons in the boxes.

Numbers in I/O Boxes — Erases any icons in the I/O boxes in the Control Program window and fills each box with the associated input or output number.

Catch FPC/others changes — When checked, sets the switcher to report all configuration and setting changes to the serial port or Ethernet connection that turned this selection on. These reports allow the Matrix Switchers Control Program to track the changes that occur in the configuration and settings of the switcher, whether commanded via the front panel, either serial port, or the Ethernet port.
