Definitions
The following terms are used throughout this
manual:
Tie —
An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties —
An input tied to two or more outputs.
(An output can never be tied to multiple
inputs.)
Configuration —
One or more ties or sets of ties.
Current configuration —
The currently active
configuration
(also called configuration 0).
Preset —
A configuration that has been stored. One
preset
can be assigned to each input and output
button. Additional presets are available under
RS-232/422 control. When a preset is retrieved, it
becomes the current configuration.
Front Panel Controls
Input and output buttons
select and identify
inputs and outputs. The buttons also select
presets.
Enter button
saves changes when you change the
configuration.
Preset button
saves a configuration as a preset or
recalls a previously-defined preset.
Input and output buttons
can hold text or icon
inserts that can be created easily with Extron’s
label software.
LCD Displays
To view the status (Detected or No Sync) for a
specific input and then the current configuration,
press and release the button for the desired input.
The LCD displays the source status message for
approximately 1 second and then the current
configuration for approximately 10 seconds. To
check the status of another source, press and
release another Input button. The LCD displays
