Definitions
The following terms, which apply to all Extron matrix switchers, 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 more than one input.)
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the
switcher (also called configuration 0 )
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global
memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned
to the input buttons and output buttons. When a preset is retrieved from
memory, it becomes the current configuration .
All 32 global presets can be selected from the front panel for either saving or
retrieving.
Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as
determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms , each of
which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.
Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room
that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it
becomes the current configuration .
