Configuration Worksheets
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 sets of ties
Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also
called configuration 0)
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) — Resolution, refresh rate, pixel clock,
and audio channel configuration information for a display device. This information
is stored in memory at system power-up and each time a new display device is
connected. The EDID is then made available to be assigned to any input.
Global preset — A configuration that has been stored. Up to 32 global presets can
be stored in memory. Preset locations are assigned first to the input buttons, then if
when all input buttons have presets assigned, to the output buttons. All models have 16
presets available from the front panel and 32 through RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet.
When a preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
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 1 to
16 outputs. Each room can have up to 10 presets.
