I/O Module Select Buttons
The four buttons on the far right side of the panel are used to select the I/O
modules to be viewed or configured. The buttons and LEDs will not operate if the
corresponding modules are not installed in your Matrix 200. For example, if your
unit does not have audio, the AUD buttons and LEDs will not operate.
When an I/O button is pressed, the associated LED for that I/O module will light
to show that it is active. This “active” state remains in effect until that button is
pressed again and the LED goes out – or power is removed. These buttons may
be used independently or in combinations. For example, if you want to view or
configure both RGBS and Audio (audio follow), press RGBS and AUD 1.
RGBS Button – This button selects the I/O modules for Red, Green, Blue and Sync
modules to be viewed or configured. Here are some examples:
• If your unit has RGsB (no separate sync), the RGBS button operates on the Red,
Green and Blue signals.
• If your unit has RGB with composite sync, the button operates on the Red,
Green, Blue and Sync signals.
• If your unit has RGBH and V (separate sync), the button operates on the Red,
Green, Blue, Horizontal Sync and Vertical signals.
With RGBS active, switching configurations for RGB and Sync may be viewed or
set up by pressing Input and Output buttons. See example on the next page.
Video Button – If the matrix has Composite Video, or S-Video, press this button to
view or configure those signals.
AUD 1 Button – If the matrix has an audio module, this button allows Audio to be
configured or viewed.
AUD 2 Button – This button is reserved for future use.
Control Buttons
Enter Button – This button is used to save changes when setting up a
configuration. To set up a configuration, press the desired Input button, press the
desired Output button(s), and then press Enter. See examples on next page.
ESC Button – The Escape button is used to end an operation and reset all of panel
LEDs for Inputs, Outputs and Controls (active I/O Module LEDs remain on).
The ESC button does not reset any configurations that have been entered.
Preset – All current (active) configurations in the Matrix 200 may be stored as a
Preset. To do this, press Preset twice (or hold the button for two seconds) and
the Preset LED will blink. While the preset LED is blinking, press the Input button
for the Preset number to be stored. The LED for that Input will light briefly, and
then both the Input LED and the Preset LED will go out. (No output buttons will
light.) The Preset has now been stored. There can be one preset for each Input
button, for a total of eight – regardless of the number of available inputs or
outputs.
______ The Input buttons and LEDs have two independent functions – as Input numbers
and as Preset numbers. When using them to store or load a Preset, this has
nothing to do with which inputs are switched to which outputs.
To load a preset that has been stored, press Preset once (briefly). The LED will
light steady (not blinking). Press the Input button for the desired Preset number.
That LED will light briefly, and then both it and the Preset LED will go out.
With Presets stored, the Matrix 200 can be configured again without affecting the
stored Presets. This means that there can be eight matrix configurations stored
as Presets, and a ninth one active. However, when a Preset is loaded, it
destroys the active configuration.
