TRANSITION

Video Line Sync

line sync:off

line sync on

This menu allows the user to control the video line synchronizer function on the
SoftSwitch



and Embedded SoftSwitch



equipped routers. The Line

Synchronizer control only affects the V1 video buss output.

When the line synchronizer is set to

Off

, the router will provide a hard switch on

the V1 buss.

When the line synchronizer is set to

, the router will provide a clean switch on

the V1 buss when the input signals are within the line synchronizer range. If the

input signal is outside the line synchronizer range the router will attempt to
synchronize the signal but may cause timing shifts in the output picture.

3.7.3. Enabling The AES Audio SoftSwitch

This menu allows the user to enable the Audio SoftSwitch



on the

SoftSwitch

equipped routers. When Audio

SoftSwitch is On, the router will provide a clean AES switch on the AES audio
busses associated with the V1 buss.

This function can be turned

and should be

Off

when switching non-

linear audio sources such as Dolby E.
