Front Panel Operations; Definitions - Extron electronics CrossPoint 450 Plus Series User Manual

Front Panel Operations

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then provide sample
procedures for the following actions:
• Creating ties, sets of ties, and configurations
• Changing a configuration
• Viewing ties, sets of ties, and configurations
• Assigning inputs and outputs to an I/O group
• Setting the RGB delay
• Saving a preset
• Recalling a preset
• Muting and unmuting outputs
• Viewing and adjusting the input audio level
• Viewing and adjusting the output volume
• Locking the front panel
• Performing front panel resets
• Setting background illumination
• Reading and setting the RS-232/RS-422 port settings

Definitions

The following terms, which apply to all 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.)
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. Preset locations are assigned to
the input buttons and (where necessary) output buttons. When a preset is
retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
All models have 32 presets; on models with fewer than 32 input and output
buttons, preset numbers that are too high to be available from the front panel
are still accessible under serial port 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 anywhere 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.
