The Automatic Switching Mode
You can set the machine to the automatic switching mode by simultaneously
pressing and holding the VIDEO and INPUT 8 buttons for 2 seconds.
In the automatic switching mode, the machine automatically switches to the
lowest active INPUT video channel which is connected.
The following examples clarify the automatic switching mode:
If input 6 is connected and active and input 4 is then connected (and
active), the machine automatically switches to input 4
If input 6 is connected but not active and input 7 is then connected and
active, the machine automatically switches to input 7 which is the active
input with the lowest number
If input 2 is active and connected and input 7 is then connected and active,
the machine remains switched to input 2 since it has the highest switching
priority (the lowest active and connected input number)
Other switching operations are performed manually.
7.3 Using the Audio-Follow-Video / Breakaway Modes
By default, the
VP-81K
switches in true audio-follow-video mode in which
all operations relate to both the video and audio. Both the VIDEO and the
AUDIO buttons illuminate in this mode.
7.3.1
Operating in Breakaway Mode
To operate in breakaway mode, in which video and audio channels switch
independently:
Press either the VIDEO button or the AUDIO button (only one button, the
VIDEO button or the AUDIO button illuminate at this time)
If the VIDEO button illuminates, the switching relates just to video (and
the audio remains unchanged)
If the AUDIO button illuminates, the switching relates only to audio (and
the video remains unchanged)
