    You can switch in an “all-follow” mode (where audio and video switch together), or in a “breakaway” mode (where audio is taken from one source and video from another). • Routing switchers can be switched manually from control panels (such as the SCP series), or automatically via computer control. Switching Matrix A switching matrix is the internal array of inputs, outputs and crosspoints that allows a routing switcher to perform the task of moving signals from sources to destinations.
