Executing Presets
Global & Local Presets Overview
Global and local presets are predefined sets of switches that can easily be executed.
Local Presets
A local preset is a predetermined set of switches on a particular level (virtual matrix) that are routed
simultaneously. They are stored in each enclosure’s configuration file and can be executed at any time.
Local presets are not programmed (defined) at the factory. To program them, use XNConnect (see the
XNConnect Help file) or contact your AMX representative (for contact information, see page 18). Once
the local presets have been defined as part of the configuration file, the new file must be loaded to the
system’s CPU (see the XNConnect Help file).
Global Preset
A global preset is a snapshot of an entire system’s state which enables that system state to be replicated
at a later time. The system state includes all current signal routings (regardless of the number of levels
involved) and any digital gain and/or volume settings. Before defining a Global Preset, route the system
to the desired state (including audio settings if applicable). A global preset number is assigned to a
system state during runtime using the CP-10 Control Panel (or BCS commands) and is stored in the
switcher’s non-volatile memory. That system state can then be restored at any time by selecting the
assigned global preset number.
Note: Global presets cannot be defined (created) in XNConnect.
Since the CP-10 Remote Control Panel can be used to operate different types of matrix switchers, check
the product documentation for any limitations to the number of supported global presets.
We strongly recommend keeping track of the number used and the system’s routing state for each global
preset. If another system state is assigned a previously used number, the former state will be
automatically overwritten.
Caution: If the system is reconfigured, global presets may be lost, depending on the method used to
load the new configuration file (see the XNConnect Help file).
