Switcher
Each section beginning with Switcher defines a logical video switcher device. In order to specify the type of
signal to be switched, select one of the following keywords as videotype : composite, svideo, rgb, rgbc, rgbhv .
Data with need of fewer channels may as well be transmitted; if for example rgbhv is selected as well data of
type rgb and rgbc may be transmitted.
Video switchers can be divided into a master- and a sub-device; i.e. the inputs are affiliated to the master device,
the outputs are divided in multiple logical video switchers. This enables the use of one physical video switcher
for video- as well as RGB-sources or just in order to provide a clearer logical structure to the distributed signals.
Switcher The name inserted in quotes is the user accessible name.
Device Name of the video switcher, see Table 6-15 and text above, please! Sub-devices are numbered
with an appended index, starting with [1] counted up successively if more sub-devices are
used.
Connection Determines the serial port of the server.
Inputs Determines the number of available inputs of the video switcher. Needs to be indicated for
