Definitions
The following Extron matrix switcher terms are used throughout this guide:
Tie
— An input-to-output connection
Set of ties
— An input tied to two or more outputs.
NOTE:
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 matrix 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
(where necessary) output buttons. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the
current configuration.
Power
Apply power by connecting the IEC power cord between the matrix
switcher and an AC source. The matrix switcher performs a self-test
that blinks the front panel button indicators red, green, and amber and
then turns them off. An error-free power-up self-test sequence leaves
all input, output, and control buttons either unlit or showing background
illumination and the
Video
button and the
Audio
button lit.
The current configuration and all presets are saved in non-volatile memory. When power is
applied, the most recent configuration is retrieved. The previous presets remain intact.
If an error occurs during the self-test, the matrix switcher locks up and does not operate. If
your matrix switcher locks up on power-up, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support
Hotline. See
for the phone number in your region of the world.
Front Panel Security Lockouts
In the procedural descriptions that follow, it is assumed that the matrix switcher is in Lock
mode 0 (fully unlocked). The following two Lock modes are also available:
•
Lock mode 1
— All changes are locked from the front panel (except for setting Lock
mode 2). Some functions can be viewed.
•
Lock mode 2
— Advanced features are locked and can be viewed only. Basic
functions are unlocked.
NOTE:
The matrix switcher is shipped from the factory in Lock mode 2. See
the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes)
on page 59 for a detailed list of basic
and advanced functions and the procedure to set the various front panel locks.
