Definitions of Port Configuration Choices
Port configuration choices are described below, followed by detailed examples.
Unassigned
For all Port Types
A port can be set to Unassigned when it is not in use. This will remove it from the list of Sources and
Destinations that can be assigned to a Control Profile.
Source
For Fixed Input and Bi-directional Ports
When configured as a Source, a port is an input to the switching matrix. The Source can be given
a name, and under that name it will be available for assignment in a Control Profile. Making this
selection on bi-directional ports will cause them to operate as inputs.
Destination
For Fixed Output and Bi-directional Ports
Configuring a port as a Destination makes it available for use in Control Profiles under its assigned
name as a Router output. A bi-directional port configured as a Destination will cause it to operate as
an output.
Follow
For Fixed Output and Bi-directional Ports
Output capable ports can be configured to Follow, or duplicate, the signal on any Source or
Destination. The Follow configuration essentially makes a port into a DA. Ports that are configured to
Follow will not appear on the list of Sources and Destinations that can be assigned to a Control Profile.
Paired
For all Port Types
This is used to create pairs of Inputs or Outputs to support signals such as Key & Fill, RGB444 Link A & B,
or 3D Left & Right. Pairing associates the port to an existing Source or Destination assignment.
Note:
While the Paired configuration is valid on all port types, only input capable ports can
be paired to a Source, and only output capable ports can be paired to a Destination.
Primary TSG
For Fixed Output and Bi-directional Ports
This Primary TSG configuration delivers the test signal being generated in the Primary TSG to an
output port, independently of any user control of the switching matrix.
