Executing Switches
A switch is an active connection between an input (source) device and one or more output (destination)
devices. The signals routed in a switching operation are individual signals or groups of individual signals
coming through the connectors on the rear of an enclosure. Executing a preset is a quick way to execute
multiple switches at a time. For information on presets, see page 18.
Switches are executed on the default virtual matrix unless otherwise specified. When specifying a virtual
matrix, be sure it includes all the signals you want to route. The number of the virtual matrix (VM) that
operations are currently being performed on is displayed in the upper-right of the display. If you need to
change the virtual matrix, see “Changing the Virtual Matrix” on page 8.
You can return to the Main Menu screen at any time by pressing the Function key.
Note
:
In each switch command, you can enter multiple output signals, but only one input signal.
However, you must select the input first in order to select multiple outputs. The Take key must be
pressed for the switch operation to execute.
