Executing Presets

Global and local presets are predefined sets of switches that can be easily executed.

Local Presets

At the time of this publication, local presets cannot be executed using the CP-20A

Control Panel. Local presets are defined in X

Connect (see the X

Connect Help

file) and can be executed using BCS commands. More information on local presets

and other operations executed with BCS commands can be found in the BCS Serial

Control Protocol section of this binder.

Global Presets

Global presets allow you to replicate an entire system state. The system state

includes all current signal routings (regardless of the number of virtual matrices

involved) and any digital gain and/or volume settings. A global preset number is

assigned to a system state during runtime using the CP-20A Control Panel (or BCS

commands) and stored by the system. That system state can then be restored at any

time by selecting the assigned global preset number.

The CP-20A stores up to 64 global presets and displays 64 numbers. Since the

panel can be used to operate different types of matrix switchers, check the product

documentation for any limitations to the number of supported global presets.

Note: We strongly recommend keeping track of the number used and the system’s

routing state for each global preset. If another system state is assigned a previously

used number, the former state will be automatically overwritten.

Global presets cannot be defined (created) in X

Connect.

Caution: If the system is reconfigured, global presets may be lost, depending on

the method used to load the new configuration file (see the X

Connect Help file).

The example on page 5-2 defines the current system state as 3: Global Preset 3.

The example on page 5-4 executes

3: Global Preset 3, which restores the

system to the state it was in when the global preset was defined.
