Figure 4-7. Grouping Tab (sample)
The MatrixPRO routers can be set up to "lock-out" input sources that are incompatible with
certain output display devices.
S
Example : Input channels 1, 2 and 3 are all SD-SDI sources, and output
channels 1, 2 and 3 are SD-SDI display devices. Input channels 4, 5 and 6
are HD-SDI sources and output channels 4, 5 and 6 are HD-SDI devices.
Establishing groups like these prevents an input from Group 2 from being accidentally
switched to a Group 1 output. The type of route and the input source must still be
established using the
Video Switching page.
„
Use the following steps to establish a group:
1. Define the Group Number by selecting a Group index from the Groups column.
2. Select the output channels that will be associated with this Group (e.g., outputs 1,
2 and 3).
3. Select the input channels that will be associated with this Group (e.g., inputs 1, 2
and 3). As these keys are clicked, they will turn yellow.
