NOTES: • Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2)
can be created under serial port, USB port, or Ethernet control.
• Ties that were created before I/O groups were created remain valid, even
if they include inputs and outputs in different groups.
• Presets can be created under serial port, USB port, or Ethernet control
that tie inputs and outputs across group boundaries. These presets are
selectable from the front panel
• An input or output can be assigned to only one group. If you assign an
input or output to a group and that input or output is already assigned
to a different group, the older grouping is discarded in favor of the new
grouping
• For I/O groups to have any function, at least two groups must be created.
Example 5: Grouping inputs and outputs
In the following example, several switcher inputs and outputs are assigned to groups. The
steps show the front panel indications that result from your action.
1. Clear all selections: Press and release the Esc button. The button flashes once.
2. Select I/O Group mode: Press and hold the Input 1 and Output 1 buttons
simultaneously for approximately 2 seconds and then release the buttons.
