Extron Electronics Matrix 200 - Manual (Page 50)

Chapter 4 • Using the Front Panel Controller
Another way to choose a menu is to use the Up/Down buttons to step through
the list of menus, and then press Enter when the desired menu appears.
The last menu# used is stored. For example, if menu 3 was used last, the next
time the menu button is pressed, menu 3 appears in the display. To select it
again, the steps are Menu, followed by Enter.
e.g. The fastest way to select a menu, when the Matrix 200 is in the default menu,
is to press Menu followed by the number key for the desired menu. See keypad
picture.
Using the Copy Menu (1)
This menu is used to copy settings from one Plane, or module, to another. This
is especially useful when the system is completely broken away, since it
eliminates the need to set up different Planes with similar programs. For
example, after doing a “Tie Individual” for the Red Plane, as described earlier in
this chapter, that program for the Red Plane can now be copied to the Green and
Blue Planes, etc. This eliminates having to do the same program more than
once.
Making Changes
1. Copy from - Use Left/Right keys to move the cursor at position 0,5 (under the
> in the top line). Use Up/Down keys to step through available Planes (I/O
modules) until the desired source name is displayed. The example shows
Red.
2. Copy to - Use the Left/Right keys to move the cursor to position 1,6 (under the
> in the bottom line). Use Up/Down keys to step through the available Planes
until the destination (copy to) name is displayed. The example shows Grn.
3. Press Enter to accept the copy source and destination, and execute the copy.
4. Repeat steps 1 thru 3 for any other modules you wish to copy. For example,
copy the Red Plane to Green Plane, and then to the Blue Plane, etc.
5. Press Escape to return to the default menu.
Using the RGB Sync Delay Menu (2)
This menu programs the Matrix 200 for “glitch-free” switching of Sync and RGB
signals by establishing a fixed time delay between them. A time delay can be set
for each output. When switching takes place, the Sync connects to the output
right away, but the RGB signals connect after the time delay. This means the
projector is already in sync when the picture arrives. The sync delay range is
from 0 to 9.9 seconds, in increments of 0.1 seconds.
To select this menu, press Menu, followed by “2”, or use the Menu Selection
procedure on page 4-6.
_______ The “1” shown in the picture will be the number 1 to 8 of the output sync to be
affected, (this number is 1 to 4 for 4 x 4 or 8 x 4 switchers) or “All” to delay
switching all outputs by the same amount.
