I/O grouping
I/Ogrouping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.
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 serial port or Ethernet control.
SuggestedapplicationsfortheI/Ogroupingfeatureinclude:
• Segregatingspecicvideoformatstopreventaninputinonevideoformat
from being inadvertently applied to an output device that supports another
video format (figure 3-29)
• Segregatinginputandoutputdevicesthatareinseparaterooms
• Isolatingvideofrombeingdisplayedonspecicoutputdevicesfor
operational security reasons

I/O groups are protected when front panel lock mode 2 is selected. You can view
the groups in lock mode 2, but you cannot change them from the front panel. See
“Setting the front panel Locks (Executive modes)” on page 3-52.
