Definitions
The following terms, which apply to Extron digital matrix switchers, are used in this guide:
• Tie — An input-to-output connection
• Set of ties — An input tied to two or more outputs. (An output can never be tied to
more than one input.)
• Configuration — One or more ties or sets of ties
• Current configuration — The configuration that is currently active in the switcher (also
called configuration 0)
• EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) — Resolution, refresh rate, pixel clock,
and audio channel configuration information for a display device. This information
is stored in memory at system power-up and each time a new display device is
connected. The EDID is then made available to be assigned to any input. This feature is
available only through PCS (see the DXP HD 4K PLUS Series Help File).
• Global preset — (DXP 44, 84, and 88 only) A configuration that has been stored,
consisting of a complete map of all input and output connections. When a preset is
retrieved from memory, it becomes the current configuration. The DXP HD 4K PLUS
can store up to 16 global presets in memory.
• Room — (DXP 44, 84, and 88 only) A subset of outputs that are logically related to
each other, as determined by the operator. The switchers support up to 10 rooms, each
of which can consist of 1 to 16 outputs. Each room can have up to 10 presets.
• Room preset — (DXP 44, 84, and 88 only) A configuration consisting of outputs in
a single room that has been stored. When a room preset is recalled from memory, it
becomes the current configuration for the outputs assigned to that room only (none of
the other outputs are affected). Room presets can be saved and recalled only via SIS
commands or the PCS software.
