The Independent Switchers AFV Mode
In the independent switchers AFV mode, the four matrix switchers of the
VP-26
operate independently of each other. For each matrix switcher, you
can select any input to switch to the outputs, as illustrated in
Figure 15
.
The audio input signal follows the video signal and the last audio signal
selected is outputted to the master audio output
You can route any combination of:
•
Two of the four VGA/UXGA inputs to the VGA/UXGA
4
outputs
•
Two of the four CV inputs to the CV outputs
•
Two of the four Y/C inputs to the Y/C outputs
•
The COMP inputs to the COMP outputs
For example

, in the CV matrix switcher section, you can switch IN 1 to
OUT 1 and IN 4 to OUT 2 by pressing the VIDEO (CV)-AUDIO
SELECTOR button 1 on the OUT 1 set, and button 4 on the OUT 2 set.
The same applies to the other matrix switcher sections (CV, Y/C and
COMP).
Each pressed button illuminates

, indicating selection and outputting of that
video and audio source.
You can choose not to use one or more of the matrix switchers
1 This is, the pre-installed factory default. The default can be modified via the Windows®-based Kramer control software
2 Audio-Follow-Video, in which all operations relate to both the video and the audio channels
3 In which video and audio channels switch independently
4 The OUT 2 signal is also routed to the CAT5 VGA 2 OUT connector
