When two or more Outputs will always have the same Input source, grouping the Outputs simplifies switching control.
An Output Group is defined as two or more Outputs that are configured to receive a common Input source. Before
grouping any Outputs, it is important to select the desired A/V Mode. Groups for Audio, Video and A/V Follow modes
can be separately defined.
1) To group Outputs, press and hold one of the desired Outputs to be grouped.
2) While holding the Output button, press and release an additional Output to be grouped, the corresponding key will
light up. Continue selecting Outputs in this fashion until all of the desired outputs have been added to the group. To
de-select an Output, simply press the key of the Output a second time, the key lamp will then go out.
3) Once all of the desired Outputs are grouped release the Output button you have been holding down.
Grouping and Ungrouping Input/Output Groups
An Input/Output group (I/O Group) defines the Inputs that can be switched to a specific Output or Output group. This
prevents incompatible Input sources from being routed to an Output. For example if the Output device is a computer
monitor, you may wish to enter an I/O grouping to ensure only computer video is routed to the output device. Before
grouping any Outputs, it is important to select the desired A/V Mode. Groups for Audio, Video and A/V Follow modes
can be separately defined.
1) To form an I/O Group, first select the desired Output or Output Group. If the Output is part of an Output group the
other Outputs of that group will light.
2) ) While holding the Output button, press and release an additional Inputs to be grouped, the corresponding keys
will light up. Continue selecting Inputs in this fashion until all of the desired inputs have been added to the I/O Group.
To de-select an Input simply press the key of the Input a second time, the key lamp will then go out.
3) Release the Output button, the I/O group is now configured.
4) Additional I/O groups can be edited in a similar manner.
Muting
Individual Muting control is provided for all outputs. Mute status is indicated by LED indicators (Muted =LED on.
Active = LED off).
1) To Mute or de-Mute audio for an output channel, press and hold Mute, then press the desired Output to be Muted
or de-Muted. The LED under the selected Output will change toggle.
2) Select any additional channels to be muted or activated in the same manner.
3) Muting takes place in real time as the Mute buttons are pressed.
Status
There are two ways to view the status of the MatrixPRO. For both operations, ensure the MatrixPRO is in the desired
A/V mode.
To manually see which Input is associated with an Output, press and release the Output key. The current Input
assigned to the Output will be illuminated. If a source change is pending (the Take button has not been pressed), the
selected source will be indicated by a blinking key indicator.
To automatically see the inputs associated with each output, press the Esc/Status Button.
The MatrixPRO will automatically cycle through the outputs to provide the operator with status information. Note that
Outputs that are grouped will light at the same time. The MatrixPRO will cycle through the Outputs will continue to
cycle through until the Status button is pressed again.
Saving and Recalling Presets
Save and Recall in combination with the Input buttons Store and Recall the entire configuration of the Matrix switcher
including all Inputs linked to Outputs, Audio Trim Levels, Mute, and port status.
1) To Save a setting, configure the MatrixPRO to the desired settings, press the Save button.
2) Press any of the Input buttons to store the configuration in that memory space.
1) To Recall a configuration, press the Recall button.
2) Select desired Input button.
3) Press Take to Recall.
4) During Recall, to preview memory configuration and before pressing Take, press the Output buttons to view
routing.
