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 32 global memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to the input buttons and output buttons. Up to 20 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 models have 32 presets; preset numbers higher than 21, too high to be available from the front panel are still 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.
