I/O Grouping

I/O grouping (see figure 22) is a matrix switcher feature that allows you to subdivide the front
panel controls of the matrix into four smaller functional sub‑switchers and limit tie creation
using the front panel only. Inputs and outputs can be assigned to one of four groups or
not assigned to any group.

NOTE: The I/O grouping feature is tied into the Switch Reference connectors on the
switcher. Ties to any input in I/O group 1 use the tri‑level sync reference. Ties to any
output in I/O group 2 use the bi‑level sync reference. Assign sync‑critical inputs and
outputs to the appropriate I/O groups.
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.
