    ROUTING Routing Inputs to Outputs The following example illustrates the routing process. An input may be routed to a single or multiple outputs. Multiple inputs cannot be routed to a single output. For this example, we will route Input 6 to the following outputs: Output 3, Output 6, Output 7, and Output 9. Press the Set button on the front panel.

  • Page 20: Presets

    PRESETS Saving the Current Routing State The 16x16 DVI Matrix w/ Push Button Control allows routing (and masking) states to be saved to internal non-volatile memory. Each routing state can be recalled at a later time (see Recalling a Saved Routing State). Even if the matrix is powered OFF, the presets will be retained in memory.

  • Page 22: Recalling A Saved Routing State

    PRESETS Recalling a Saved Routing State The 16x16 DVI Matrix w/ Push Button Control allows saved routing (and masking) states to be recalled from memory for instant access. In this example, we will recall the routing preset that we stored in the previous example. In order to clearly see how this process works, try changing the routing state of Input 6 to Output 2.

  • Page 24: Masking

    MASKING Masking Outputs “Masking” prevents the output device (display, etc) from receiving an output signal. Instead of powering-down or disconnecting the output device, individual or multiple outputs can be masked. Inputs cannot be masked. To illustrate masking, we’ll use our original routing example from the section Routing Inputs Outputs.
