  • Page 25: Determining The Current Routing State

    Routing Basics Determining the Current Routing State In the example below, the first row (OUT) represents each HDMI output on the matrix. The bottom row (IN) represents each HDMI input on the matrix. Together, these two rows display the current routing state. Starting on the bottom row, we can see that Input 3 has been routed to Outputs A, B, C, and D.
