Managing Ties
On the Matrix window, you can create, dissolve, and view input-to-output ties as follows:
To create a tie, click and drag from an input box to an output box.
If Hold/Verify Changes has been selected from the Preferences menu:
A broken line appears, connecting the two boxes. (If you want to undo the
preliminary tie at this point, click the Cancel button. The broken line disappears.)
Click Take to confirm the tie. The broken line becomes solid.
If Immediate Changes has been selected from the Preferences menu:
The tie is made immediately (no Cancel button is displayed).
To remove a tie, drag the output box to its tied input box or to the trash can.
If Hold/Verify Changes has been selected from the Preferences menu:
The tie line becomes broken. If you want to reinstate the tie at this point, click
Cancel. The broken line becomes solid again. Click Take. The broken tie line
disappears.
If Immediate Changes has been selected from the Preferences menu:
The tie is undone immediately.
To view information on a specific input or output device, position the cursor over
that device in the Matrix window. A pop-up window opens, showing the input and
output numbers, names (if captions were specified), details on the connections to that
device, and the frequency of the video signal being sent to or from it.
