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. When a preset is retrieved from memory,

it becomes the current configuration.

The switchers have 32 presets. Up to 20 presets can be selected from the

front panel for either saving or retrieving. Preset numbers larger than 20 are

accessible via serial port or LAN port 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.
