2.3 Presets Tab
Figure 2 depicts the Presets Tab which can be used to edit presets or perform batch matrix connection
operations. Under the “Connections” title is shown the
Work Matrix
, which is a temporary area for working
with matrix routing and loading to/saving from stored
Presets
and the current
Active Routing
state. For each
Destination the Destination number and label is displayed followed by one or more drop down selection lists for
each source level. The selection lists contain all available sources (listed by source number and label) and the
special values
No Change
and
Mute
(the latter only if available for the given level). The
No Change
option
indicates that the Destination for the given Level should not be changed from its current value, when the preset
is recalled, which allows for a subset of the routing matrix to be changed.
Mute
will output blank Video or
silent Audio for the given Destination level and is not supported on all routers/levels.
2.3.1 Loading Work Matrix from a source target
The
Work Matrix
can be loaded from the current
Active Routing
matrix or a Preset. Simply select the desired
source target from the “Select target” drop down list and click the
Load
button.
2.3.2 Saving Work Matrix to a target
The
Work Matrix
can be saved to one or more targets including the
Active Routing
matrix or a
Preset
.
Simply select the desired destination target from the “Select target” drop down list and click the
Save
button.
When saving to the
Active Routing
matrix, the connections defined in the
Work Matrix
will become
immediately active for the current routing state, allowing for batch routing operations to be performed and
executed simultaneously. Saving to a
Preset
will store the Work Matrix state to non volatile memory, which
persists through device power cycles and can be recalled at a later time.
2.3.3 Usage scenarios
The flexibility of the Presets Tab interface allows for several useful scenarios, some of which are described
