Defi nitions
The following terms, which apply to Extron matrix switchers, are used throughout
this manual:
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.)
Confi guration — One or more ties or one or more sets of ties.
Current confi guration — The confi guration that is currently active in the
switcher (also called confi guration 0)
Global memory preset — A confi guration that has been stored. Up to 64 global
memory presets can be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned to
the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. All presets can be
selected from the front panel for either saving or retrieving. When a preset is
retrieved from memory, it becomes the current confi guration. All presets are
also accessible under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.
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 confi guration consisting of outputs in a single room
that has been stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it
becomes the current confi guration. The switchers support up to 10 presets
per room.

Input and output buttons
