Appendix C – Advanced Configuration: Modifying Virtual Matrices
Sequential Grouping Pattern
Although using a spanning pattern is more common for Optima Distribution Matrix enclosures, a
sequential pattern can be used to group connectors. When this pattern is selected, each of the standard
(component) signals in an aggregate signal is assigned to an adjacent connector on the same board.
Example
In the RGBS system in FIG. 88 the first input channel of VM 0 (audio-follow-video) includes each
component of the RGBS signal, plus the stereo audio signal. The R, G, B, and S components are assigned
to the first four input connectors on the wideband board. The stereo audio signal is assigned to the first
input connector on the stereo audio board. When you switch Input 1 on VM 0, the RGBS and stereo
audio signals are routed simultaneously. On VM 0 either of the grouped video input channels (RGBS)
and their corresponding stereo pair channel can be routed to either or both of the available corresponding
output channels.
Video and audio breakaway signals can also be routed by using virtual matrices that are configured to do
so. In the example below, when you switch Input 1 on VM 1, the RGBS signal is routed. When you
switch Input 1 on VM 2, the stereo audio signal is routed.
Note: The DVI signals for the system in FIG. 88 switch on a separate virtual matrix.
VM 0 = switches 2 channels of RGBS with Stereo Audio
VM 1 = switches 2 channels of RGBS
VM 2 = switches 8 channels of Stereo Audio
Virtual Inputs: RGBS + Stereo Audio = 1st input channel of VM 0
