FPC 6000 • Operation 30
Presets
The configuration that is currently being used by the matrix switcher is the current configuration
(or
Configuration 0 ). Extron matrix switchers allow you to save commonly used
configurations as presets, which can be recalled. Once they are recalled, they become the
current configuration, replacing the configuration that was being used.
Global and Room Presets
There are two types of presets:
•
Global preset
•
Room preset
Global Preset
When a configuration is stored as a global preset, all active inputs and the outputs tied to them
are saved. The number of global presets supported depends on the matrix switcher model.
FOX 3200 models support up to 32 global presets. Other FOX models support up to 64 global
presets. When a global preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
Room Preset
A room consists of a small subset of virtual outputs that are logically related to each other. They
do not have to be literally in the same room. They are grouped together for the convenience of
the operator.
Rooms and room presets can be recalled but cannot be created with the FPC 6000. They must
be created by SIS commands sent from a PC to the switcher (see the user guide for your matrix
switcher).
•
Depending on the model, Extron matrix switchers can support up to 10 rooms.
•
Each room can have 1 to 16 virtual outputs.
•
Each room can have up to 10 presets.
A room preset consists of virtual outputs in a single room that have been stored. When a room
preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
Saving Presets
Rooms and room presets must be saved using SIS commands (see the matrix switcher user
guide for instructions).
To save a global preset follow these instructions:
1.
Create one or more sets of ties (see Create a Tie on page 27).
2. Open the Presets menu (see figure 36 on page 32).
3.
Press Save As... .
The
