Matrix 50 Series Switchers • Operation

2.

Select to configure video, audio, or both by pressing the Video and/or
Audio buttons.

3.

Select the desired input and output(s) by pressing the input and output
buttons.

4

.

Press and release the Enter button.

5

.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 to create additional ties until the desired
configuration is complete.

1.

Only one video input and one audio input can be tied to an output.

2.

If a tie is made between an input and an output, and the selected output
was previously tied to another input, the older tie is broken in favor of the
newer tie.

3.

To indicate current ties, output LEDs light when an input is selected. To
clear unwanted outputs, press and release the associated output buttons.

4.

If, when you configure video and audio ties, the Audio LED blinks and
the Video LED is on after you select an input or output, the LEDs
indicate audio breakaway, meaning that the audio ties are not the same
as the video ties for that input.

5.

If an input with no tie is selected, only that input’s LED lights.

6.

When the Video and Audio LEDs are on, if an input with an audio tie
but no video tie is selected, the input’s LED lights and the Audio LED
blinks.

7.

As each output is selected, the associated output LED blinks to indicate a
tentative tie. LEDs for output(s) that were already tied to the input light
steadily. Outputs that are already tied can be left on, along with new
blinking selections, or toggled off by pressing the associated output
button.

Example 1: Creating a set of video and audio ties

See figure 3-3 and the following steps for an example in which input 5 is tied to
outputs 3, 4, and 8 on a 12x8 Matrix 50 switcher with audio.

This example assumes that there are no ties in the current configuration.
