Section 4. Software control
– Using Lightware Matrix Controller
When the Lightware Matrix Controller finds the hardware, it determines the product
type, and the control menu appears. The current state of the crosspoint switch is
displayed.

4.3. Control menu
This menu contains the crosspoint area and the preset area. After connecting to a
new device, this menu appears by default.
This view adapts to the input and output numbers of the router. I1; I2; I3... columns
represent the inputs, the O1; O2; O3...rows represent the outputs. Each green
square represents a valid connection. Since an input can be routed to more outputs
simultaneously, there can be one or more green squares in one column. However
an output can be switched to only one input, so there can be only one green
square in any row.
4.3.1. Switch, mute and lock
For making a connection click on the desired square. If the output port is not locked
or muted, the connection will be made. For switching an input to all outputs, click
with the left mouse button on
the input label, and click “Switch to all outputs” from
the popup menu.
Outputs can be easily muted by clicking on the button titled ‟M‟ beside the output.
This means that no signal is present at this output. If mute is active, the color of the
button‟s background changes to black.
Outputs can be locked to any input. After locking an input to an output, no
switching is permitted to this output unless it is unlocked again. If output lock is
active, the color of
the button‟s background changes to red.
Info:
Loading a preset doesn’t alter either the lock state or the switch state of a locked
output. If an output is locked to an input before preset loading it will also be locked
to that input after preset loading, so locked outputs ignore the preset.
