Virtual Matrices
The Virtual Matrix is a software construct created to allow you to:
■
Split a single Frame into more than one Level; each block of crosspoints
will form one Virtual Matrix.
■
Set up any Frame in such a way that a Take on a given Level will
change more than one crosspoint (for example, the R, G and B
crosspoints on a Component Analog Video Level; the R, G and B blocks
of crosspoints will form 3 Virtual Matrices).
The configuration of most Frames, will only require one Virtual Matrix.
Simple Frames, Virtual Matrices, Levels, Sources, and Destinations
1. Select
NEW
to create a configuration file.
a. Select
FRAME
to access the Frame Actions window.
b. Select
NEW
to access the New Frame window.
c. Select the appropriate Frame Type.
d. Default Frame Name and Address will appear (you can change the
Address and Frame Name if desired).
e. Select
OK
to return to Frame Actions window.
NOTES:
Stereo Analog Audio Frames should be configured as Simple Frames.
Serial Video Frames can contain GVG PCB Input Simms, Quartz PCB Input
Simms, or both types of Simms on a single frame (newer frames contain only GVG
PCB Input Simms). If your frame has mixed Simms; click on
SET MIXED TYPES
;
then check all Inputs that contain Quartz Simms.
Data matrix frames allow the frame's “disconnect” behavior to be configured.
Normally, if you select a source that lacks the Data Matrix level, and Take it to a
destination that has the Data Matrix level, the Take will not affect the status on the
Data Matrix level of the destination. If the
DISCONNECT IF SOURCE LACKS INPUT
checkbox is checked, this same Take will cause a disconnect on the Data Matrix
level of the destination (even though the disconnect occurred, the “taken” source
will still appear as status on this level of the destination).
3. When configuring more than one Frame of the same type:
a. Highlight an existing Frame entry in the Frame Actions window.
b. Select
COPY
. The Frame Name, Address, and Type will appear with
defaults.
c. Select
