HDXP Plus Series Switchers • Matrix Software 84
Windows Buttons, Menus, and Trash Can
The buttons, drop-down menus, and trash can icon on the right side of the program
window perform the following functions:
Power — This button is unavailable for HDXP switchers, because the HDXP cannot
be powered on and off via software.
Executive mode — Allows you to lock out front panel operations, except for the
view-only mode functions.
Room menu — Displays a list of up to 10 rooms. From this list you can select a room
to display in the window.
NOTE: A room is a subset of outputs that are logically related to each other, as
determined by the operator. The HDXP switcher supports up to 10 rooms, each
of which can consist of from 1 to 16 outputs.
Presets menu — Displays a list of up to 32 global presets and up to 100 room
presets (10 rooms with 10 presets per room). From this list you can select a preset
to display in the window. You can either activate the selected preset by clicking Go or
delete it by clicking Delete.
Go — Activates the selected preset as the current configuration.
Save as — Allows the current set of ties to be saved as a preset. Enter the preset
number when prompted to do so.
Delete — Removes the selected preset.
Take — Allows you to save to file any changes made to the displayed configuration.
Cancel — Returns to the previous screen, undoing any changes you have made.
Trash can — Drag and drop from an input or output button to the trash can to undo
all ties associated with that input or output.

File menu
The File menu contains the following options:
Save MATRIX settings as — Saves a complete set of up
to 132 presets (32 global and 100 room presets), plus the
last active setting (preset #0), to a file. Saved settings include
assigned icons and icon captions.
Restore MATRIX settings from — Loads and activates a
previously saved settings file.
Save This-Session’s settings — Performs the same function as Save MATRIX
settings as, but you are not able to specify a file name to which it will be saved.
Restore Last-session’s settings — Loads the icons and icon captions that
were saved during the last session. If you saved the changes to the settings from the
previous session the last time you exited the program, the ties from that session are
loaded.

Print Tie Map — Prints the tie set that is displayed on the screen.
