Configuration Worksheets
Rather than trying to remember the configuration for each preset, use worksheets to
record this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on page 3-51 (32-input
button and -output button switchers) and page 3-53 (16-button switchers) and
use one for each preset configuration. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and
outputs. Use different colors for video and audio.
N
All of the equipment in the following examples is connected through the
appropriate MTP transmitter or receiver.
Worksheet example 1: System equipment
Figure 3-68 shows a worksheet for an MTPX in a fictional organization with
the system hardware annotated. Inputs 10 and 11 have no connection in this
organization, so they have been crossed out on the worksheet. Similarly, outputs 7
and 9 through 16 are crossed out.

VTG 300
Figure 3-68 — Worksheet example 1: System equipment
Inputs include PCs, an audio CD player, cameras, and an Extron VTG 300.
Output devices include monitors, projectors, a stereo, and a VCR for recording
presentations.
The VTG 300 video test generator connected to input 12 enables a video test pattern
to be sent to one, several, or all output devices for problem isolation or adjustment
purposes. An audio test tape or CD could be used in a similar manner to check out
the audio components.
