Configuration Worksheets
Rather than trying to remember the configuration for each preset, use worksheets to
record this information. Make copies of the blank worksheet on page 3-59 (32-input
buttonand-outputbuttonswitchers)andpage3-61(16-buttonswitchers)and
use one for each preset configuration. Cross out all unused or inactive inputs and
outputs. Use different colors for video and audio.

VTG 300
Figure 3-77 — Worksheet example 1: System equipment
Inputs include PCs, an audio CD player, cameras, and an Extron VTG 300.
Output devices include monitors, projectors, a stereo, and a VCR for recording
presentations.
The VTG 300 video test generator connected to input 12 enables a video test pattern
to be sent to one, several, or all output devices for problem isolation or adjustment
purposes. An audio test tape or CD could be used in a similar manner to check out
the audio components.
