The
MtxProfiles Command
defines an array of matrix profiles and consists of a JSON array of virtual matrix
objects.
4.2 Virtual Matrix Types
Virtual Routing is defined by a
Virtual Matrix
which consists of one or more Levels. Each Level routes a
single media type (video or audio) and is further defined by the number of Sources and Destinations it has.
Each Level in a Virtual Matrix can be independently defined from one of the matrix types
Remap
,
Duplicated
Sources
and
Chained
further described below.
Name
Remap
Description
Defined by maps of arbitrary Sources and Destinations.
Uses
Re-order Sources/Destinations. Create a subset Matrix for controlling less
Sources/Destinations than the device provides.
Constraints
1 device only. The resulting Virtual Matrix will have the same number of Sources and
Destinations or a subset thereof.
Name
Duplicated Sources
Description
Sources are duplicated externally using Distribution Amplifiers (DAs) or other means
and routed to the inputs of 2 or more routing devices.
Uses
Destination expansion (combined Destination count of all devices).
Constraints
2 or more devices each making use of the same number of Sources. The resulting
Virtual Matrix will have the same number of Sources as a single device and the sum of
Destinations of all devices.
Name
Chained
Description
The outputs of 2 or more “Secondary” routers are connected to the inputs of a
“Primary” router.
Uses
Source expansion (combined Source count of all Secondary routers).
Constraints
3 or more routers, one is the final Primary router and all others are Secondary routers.
The number of used Destinations for each Secondary router should be the same as the
Primary router Destination count. The sum of all Secondary router Destination counts
should not exceed the Primary router's Source count.
The Remap virtual matrix type can specify whether the panel is the master controller of different router data
resources, including level information (name, media type and feature flags), current matrix routing state,
destination/source/preset labels and preset data. Duplicated and Chained virtual matrix types always use the
