NOTES:

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

between the groups:

z

The computer video group (inputs 1 through 8 and outputs 1
through 6)

z

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 ( ).
