MediaMatrix defines the zones which can represent single outputs or groups of outputs. PageMatrix software is used to program the button assignments on the paging stations which enables them to access one or more zones per button. We refer to the button assignments as zone presets, because these settings are set initially then downloaded to the PageMatrix controller where they become active.

With PageMatrix, there are no inherent priority settings. Any microphone may be used at any time and the ÒbusyÓ LED indication identifies when a zone preset is in use by another station. However, extensive priority levels can be configured and designed within MediaMatrix.
