Defi nitions

The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout
this manual:

Tie

An input-to-output connection.

Set of ties —

An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied

to more than one input.)

Confi guration —

One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.

Current

confi guration —

The confi guration that is currently active in the

switcher (also called confi guration 0)

Global memory preset —

A confi guration that has been stored. Up to 64 global

memory presets

can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to

the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. All presets can be
selected from the front panel for either saving or retrieving. When a preset is
retrieved from memory, it becomes the current confi guration. All presets are
also accessible under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.

Room

A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as

determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of
which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.

Room memory preset —

A confi guration consisting of outputs in a single room

that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it
becomes the current confi guration. The switchers support up to 10 presets
per room.

Input and output buttons

N If the switcher has fewer inputs or outputs than input or output buttons, only

the buttons for which the switcher has an input or output perform the function
of selecting and identifying that input or output.
