Suggested applications for the I/O grouping feature include:
• Segregating specific video formats to prevent an input in one video format
from being inadvertently applied to an output device that supports another
video format
• Segregating input and output devices that are in separate rooms
• Segregating incompatible fiber signals, such as those from an FOX 500 system
and a FOX HD-SDI system
• Isolating video from being displayed on specific output devices for
operational security reasons
The I/O groups can be set up on the front panel or by using either serial port
and/or the LAN port and either the SIS or the Windows control program (see
chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, and chapter 5, “Matrix Software”).
Create I/O groups on the front panel as follows:
1
.
Press the Esc button to clear any front panel button indications that may be lit.
2
.
To enter
I/O Group
mode, press and
hold
the Input 1 and Output 1 buttons
until the input and output buttons light to display the ungrouped inputs and
outputs.
3
.
Press and release one of the Control buttons to select a group:
• Press the Enter button to select group 1.
• Press the Preset button to select group 2.
• Press the View button to select group 3.
• Press the Esc button to select group 4.
4
.
Select the desired input(s) and output(s) to assign to the group by pressing the
input and output buttons.
5
.
Allow the
I/O Group
mode to time out after approximately 30 seconds.
N
• Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2)
can
be created under either serial port or Ethernet control.
• Ties that were created before I/O groups were created remain valid, even if
they include inputs and outputs in different groups.
• Presets can be created under serial port or Ethernet control that tie inputs
and outputs across group boundaries. These presets
are
selectable from the
front panel.
• An input or output can be assigned to only one group. If you assign an
input or output to a group and that input or output is already assigned to a
different group, the older grouping is discarded in favor of the new grouping.
• For I/O groups to have any function, at least two groups must be created.
