Reclocking
NOTES:
• Laser board reclockers are set on a per SFP basis. If an SFP is reclocked, the corresponding input and output reclockers reclock at
the same rate.
• HD-SDI reclockers are set on a per output basis only.

Save, recall, and directly write presets
NOTES:
• If you try to recall a preset that is not saved, the matrix switcher responds with the error code E11.
• The following characters are invalid or not recommended in preset names: + - , ` @ = [ ] { } ‘ “ ; : | \ and ?.

Recall preset 5, to become the current configuration.
Direct write process —
NOTE: The direct write of a global preset should always be preceded by a clear global preset ties command of that same preset number.
In a directly-written preset, the tied input of each output position (or no tied input) remains unchanged unless overwritten or cleared.
If you do not clear the ties in a global preset number before you directly write a global preset to that number, ties that are part of the
previous version of the specified preset with the same number can unexpectedly become part of the newly-created preset.
