8.5 Modifying Configuration Files

Modifying a configuration file with X

Connect involves entering

information in one or a series (depending on the modification) of dialog

boxes. A brief look at the Help file Contents provides an overview of the

modifications possible with X

Connect.

Note: If you have questions regarding a dialog box you have open,

Connect provides a context-sensitive Help file that can be accessed by

pressing the F1 key.

When modifying a configuration file, it is helpful to keep in mind the

following definition of a virtual matrix. A virtual matrix is a set of virtual

source (input) channels and destination (output) channels in which the

channels’ component signals (such as R, G, B, H, and V) are grouped

into a single channel to permit the simultaneous switching of them as an

aggregate signal (RGBHV). Each component signal must have all

sources and destinations within the same physical matrix. The resulting

single channel constitutes a source or destination number on the Local

Control Panel.

The remainder of this section focuses on two of the most common uses

for X

Connect, configuring local presets and modifying groupings (see

the X

Connect Help file for assistance with other configuration related

tasks).

Configuring Local Presets

The process for configuring local presets takes you through three dialog

boxes. Start with the Manage Local Presets dialog box to access other

dialog boxes that allow you to name a new preset, modify presets, and

delete presets.
