The MatrixPRO 8x8 DVI Router enables you to set up groups of input and output channels,
in order to prevent certain inputs from being switched to selected outputs. Once
established, routes can only be performed within the group.
The following rules apply:
• A minimum of two inputs and two outputs are required to form a group, but up to 8
can be included in a group.
• Multiple groups can be configured on the panel (e.g., 2 groups of 4 outputs each).
• Inputs and outputs can only be in one group at a time.
• When an output within a group is selected, you can only route the inputs currently
assigned to that group. Inputs “outside” the group cannot be selected.
• To check the “members” of a group, press and hold a button in the Output
Selection Section. All assigned group input and output buttons will light. If no
buttons light, that output is not included in a group.
Use the following steps to create an input/output group:
1. In the Output Selection Section, press and hold the first output that you want to
be in the group.
2. While holding the output, press the buttons for the other inputs and outputs that
you wish to be in the group. Each button remains lit after it is pressed.
3. Release the output button (that you pressed in step 1). The group is now
configured, and routes can now only be performed within the group.
4. Repeat from step 1 to configure additional groups. Note that pressing and holding
any output button within the group lights all group member buttons.
Use the following steps to add an input or output to an existing group:
1. In the Output Selection Section, press and hold any output within the selected
group. All group member buttons light.
2. While holding the output, press the buttons for the other (unlit) inputs and outputs
that you wish to add to the group. Each button remains lit after it is pressed.
3. Release the output button (that you pressed in step 1). The group is now re-
configured.
4. Repeat from step 1 to add additional members to the group.
Use the following steps to remove an input or output from an existing group:
1. In the Output Selection Section, press and hold any output within the selected
group. All group member buttons light.
2. While holding the output, press the buttons for the (lit) inputs and outputs that you
wish to remove from the group. Each button turns off after it is pressed.
3. Release the output button (that you pressed in step 1). The group is now re-
configured.
4. Repeat from step 1 to remove additional members from the group.
Note
Grouping inputs and outputs does not establish a route. The
input source for a particular output still must be established
using the standard “take” procedure.
