Appendix B – Advanced Configuration: Modifying Virtual Matrices

Precis HT Instruction Manual
Creating a Joined Virtual Matrix (Level)
Levels (virtual matrices) are defined in XNConnect and stored in the system’s configuration file.
Precis HT Default VMs (Levels)
VM 0 = all VMs
VM 1 = video
VM 2 = digital audio
VM 3 = stereo audio
Normally, the Precis HT will have either digital audio or stereo audio connected. In which case, selecting
VM 0 when executing switches will route audio-follow-video signals using whichever audio is
connected. If the Precis HT system has both analog audio and digital audio equipment attached, a switch
executed on VM 0 will include both digital and stereo audio signals with the video. To avoid this and to
take advantage of the additional audio capability of the Precis HT, you can create a new joined virtual
matrix that allows one of the audio VMs to be switched simultaneously with the video VM, and the other
audio VM can still be switched independently.
The information in the instructions below is based on the following scenario:
You want to switch RGsB (VM 1) and digital audio (VM 2) together and switch analog audio (VM 3)
independently. To allow video and digital audio to be switched together, create a new joined virtual
matrix (VM 4) combining VM 1 and VM 2. Since analog audio is already on its own VM, no additional
action is required for switching analog independently.
Note:
For additional information on joining virtual matrices, see the XNConnect Help file. To
access the Help file topic for an open dialog box, press F1
.
To create a new virtual matrix joining RGsB (VM 1) and digital audio (VM 2):
1.
Launch XNConnect (see page 47).
2.
In the Virtual Matrix view, from the Virtual Matrix menu, select Join Virtual Matrices.
3.
Select VM 1 and click Add.
4.
Select VM 2 and click Add.
5.
Optional – Under Virtual Matrix Identifiers, change the number and name.
6.
Check the Sources and Destinations check boxes so that both are joined in the new VM.
Click OK.
7.
Load the configuration file onto the system; see page 53.
