Configuring a System of Interconnected Switchers
A major advantage of the
VS-162V
is that it belongs to the series of 16x16
matrix switchers that can interconnect with other switchers in the series.
This series includes, but is not limited to,
VS-1616A
(a 16x16 analog
balanced stereo audio matrix switcher),
VS-1616SDI
(a 16x16 digital video
matrix switcher),
VS-1616AD
(a 16x16 digital audio matrix switcher), and
VS-1616RS
(an RS-422 control signal matrix switcher).
The block diagram in
Figure 11
illustrates how to assemble an
interconnected varied-format 16x16 series switcher that consists of a 32x32
composite video matrix switcher, a 32x16 digital video matrix switcher, a
32x32 balanced stereo audio matrix switcher, and a 16x16 digital audio
matrix switcher.
Note that each group of switchers has a unique MACHINE # that is shared
by all members of the group. In
Figure 11
, the 32x32 composite video
matrix switcher is MACHINE # 1, the 32x16 digital video matrix switcher
is MACHINE # 2 and so on. Control of the system is via the MACHINE #s.
