that was active.

format, or both) to tie by touching the desired Signal Type button. On
the dual-keypad screen the first virtual output among the selected signal
types is displayed in the Virtual Output field.
NOTE: On Matrix 12800 systems, available signal types are indicated by a green
circle. Selected signal types are indicated by a red ring around the green
circle.

audio plane (if there is one in your system). The Audio Only signal type
does not include any video planes.
