Definitions

The following terms, which apply to all 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 (where necessary) output buttons. When a preset is

retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.

All models have 32 presets; on models with fewer than 32 input and output

buttons, preset numbers that are too high to be available from the front panel

are still accessible under serial port or Ethernet 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.
