I/O Grouping - Extron electronics DXP DVI User Manual

I/O Grouping

I/O grouping allows you to subdivide the front panel control of the matrix into four smaller
functional sub-switchers. Inputs and outputs can be assigned to one of four groups or not
assigned to any group.
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,
you 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 (for example, an input in group 1 tied to an output in group 2)
can be created via SIS commands, the control software, or the web pages.
Figure 46 gives an example of input and output grouping of DVI Pro and HDMI devices on
a DXP.

Suggested applications for the I/O grouping feature include:
•
•
•
I/O groups can be set up using the front panel, SIS commands via RS-232 or RS-422
control (see the
embedded web pages (see the
the Matrix Switchers Control Program via RS-232, RS-422, or IP control (see the
Software" section, beginning on page 72).

I/O Grouping of Incompatible Video Formats
Segregating specific video formats to prevent an input in one video format from
being inadvertently applied to an output device that supports another video format
(see figure 46).
Segregating input and output devices that are in separate rooms.
Isolating video from being displayed on specific output devices for operational security
reasons.
