I/O Grouping - Extron electronics 6400s User Manual

I/O grouping

I/O grouping is a matrix switcher feature that allows you to subdivide the front
panel controls of the matrix into up to four smaller functional sub-switchers
(figure 3-4) and limit tie creation from the front panel only. Inputs and outputs
can be assigned to one of four groups or not assigned to any group.

Figure 3-4 — I/O grouping of incompatible video formats
When you are creating ties on the front panel, inputs and outputs that are assigned
to a group can be tied only to other outputs and inputs within the same group. For
example, a front panel operator cannot tie an input that is assigned to group 1 to an
output that is assigned to group 2. Ungrouped inputs and outputs can be switched
to outputs and inputs in any group. Ties between groups (an input in group 1 tied
to an output in group 2) can be created under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet control.
