Connecting the Remote Connector In addition to its automatic switching function, the VS-24xl can operate as a remote controlled video and audio 2x1 switcher, by connecting contact closure switches to the appropriate REMOTE input terminal block connector pins thus forcing the routing of one of the two inputs to the output by remote control.
