Tie — An input-to-output connection.
Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to
more than one input.)
Configuration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher
(also called configuration 0)
Global memory preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global
memory presets can be stored in memory. When a preset is retrieved from memory, it
becomes the current configuration. Presets can be saved and recalled from the front
panel and any of the serial or LAN ports. For front panel operations, preset locations are
assigned to the input buttons.
Room — A subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as determined by
the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each of which can consist of from
1 to 16 outputs.
Room memory preset — A configuration consisting of outputs in a single room that
has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current
configuration.
