MSC-XV1616L Product Manual

The right side of the Routing tab interface under the title “Connections” displays the current state of the routing 
matrix.  Each destination is depicted as a box containing the destination number/label followed by one or more 
source numbers/labels of the currently connected sources for each level of the destination.  The currently 
selected destination is highlighted in red (

#7

 in Figure 1).  For multi-level systems either the destination or one 

of the levels can be individually selected for changing all levels or a single level.

The left side of the Routing tab under the title “Connect Source” (

#5

 in Figure 1) displays all the available 

sources and Mute (if available) to connect from.

2.2.1 Changing a connection

To change a routing connection, select the desired destination by clicking on the Destination label or an 
individual level source label (multi-level systems only).  Then click on a Source button or Mute (if available) 
from the “Connect Source” section.  The clicked source will be connected to the selected Destination for one or 
more levels (depending on if the Destination or a single level is selected).

2.2.2 Loading a preset

Presets store connection states for one or more Destinations.  Loading a Preset on the Routing tab consists of 
simply clicking on the “Load preset” drop down selector (

#4

 in Figure 1) and selecting the desired preset, which

is then loaded and applied to the current routing matrix.  More information on Presets is contained in the 
following Presets tab section.

2.3 Presets Tab

Figure 2: 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
