Video Signal Routing Methods
Signal routing can be controlled in four distinct ways and are all reflected in the Matrix
View window as visual feedback. Methods include:
Output Settings window
– Individually select an Input to connect to an Output as
covered earlier in this document.
Remotely
– Using functions from the list of serial commands via Ethernet or RS232
from a 3
rd
party control system.
Command Line Interface
– Entering command strings direct to the unit from the
CORIOmatrix software. This will be covered later in this document.
Matrix View
– Using the CORIOmatrix software GUI via mouse, stylus or
touchscreen.
This section will cover routing and switching Video signals using the CORIOmatrix Matrix
View GUI. This will include the use of the six shortcut command buttons at the bottom of
the Matrix View tab:
BLACK ALL
(set all the Outputs to Black/Mute);
BLANK
(remove
signal);
ALL
(all outputs);
CLEAR
(clear last function);
LINK
(join) and
TAKE
(execute)
located below the Input/Output buttons.
Please note:
To select an Input or Output you must click on the main body of the button
as clicking the colored or white square will open the Settings page. Selected buttons are
highlighted blue, clicking a button a second time will deselect it and will revert to grey.
The use of the term
LINK
refers to a non-finalised or executed connection from an Input.
Video Routing Configurations
This section will outline the different ways of managing or routing Video signals through
the Matrix, this will include:
1. One-to-one
– Connect one Input to one Output
2. One-to-many
- Connect one Input to many or several Outputs
3. One-to-all (broadcast)
– Broadcast any Input to all available Outputs.
4. Mute all video Outputs
– Temporarily turn off all active Outputs
5. Clear a function
– Remove a non-finalised/executed function before doing a ‘
TAKE
’
6. Blank and Output
– Remove a link between an Input and an Output
