Choosing the Follow-System or Breakaway-from-System
Mode
The terms audio-follow-video
Sometimes signals other than audio signals need to switch simultaneously
and at other times, need to switch independently. For example:
•
Non-linear editing systems, that sometimes combine video with
analog audio and at other times combine video with digital
audio
•
Duplication systems, that make Master tapes from programs
with different formats: composite analog, component analog
and component digital
When the VS-1616A functions in the:
•
Follow-SYSTEM mode, the VS-1616A switches with other
16x16 matrix switchers
simultaneously
•
Breakaway-from-SYSTEM mode, the VS-1616A
independently, implementing an action independently of the
others
The VS-1616A unit will function
one other VS-1616A unit
units interconnect via an RS-232 and/or RS-485 communication line.
To set the VS-1616A unit to function in the Follow-SYSTEM mode:
1.
Press the MENU button twice.
The MATRIX Display shows the message:
1 Video and the audio channels switch simultaneously in the same way
2 Audio channels switch independently from the video channels
3 16x16 matrix switchers in the same series, that include, for example, the VS-162V (16x16 video matrix switcher) units
4 Also applies to a VS-162V unit
5 The VS-1616A unit changes its status immediately and goes to the Follow-system mode
6 Or VS-162V (as well as other 16x16 matrix switchers in the same series)
