Global preset — A configuration that has been stored. FOX3 matrix supports up to 16
Global Presets. When a global preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current
configuration.
Room preset — A configuration consisting of virtual outputs in a single room that has been
stored. When a room preset is retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration.
FOX3 matrix supports up to 80 Room Presets, and for each room, up to 10 room presets
are associated.
SFP — Small form-factor pluggable. The SFP is an interface used in fiber optic connections
for direct signal connections or packet switched networks.
The number of rooms and presets that are available depends on the matrix
switcher that is connected to the FPC 6000. See the user guide for the matrix switcher at
