The example in
Figure 6
illustrates a 4-channel 16x16 configuration
consisting of 2
VS-1616A
units. Broadcasting applications often use 4
channels, to broadcast stereo audio sound in 2 languages (say, English
and French) or to produce surround sound (in which the sound is supplied
to 4 speakers arranged in each corner of a room).

Assembling an Expanded Matrix Switcher
You can expand the number of inputs and outputs using several
VS-1616A
units

6.6.2
. Set the MACHINE ADDRESS # (see section
) on
each
VS-1616A
unit to define which inputs and outputs are configured to
that particular unit when expanding, as the chart in
Figure 7
illustrates.
For example, to connect a 48x64 switcher (48 inputs and 64 outputs), you
would configure using MACHINE ADDRESS # 1, 2, 3, 4; 7, 8, 9, 10; 13,
14, 15 and 16. You can only choose a rectangular

configuration from the
chart in
.
1 For example, a 32x32 switcher and a 32x16 switcher. In fact, you can connect up to 36 units to form a switcher with 96
inputs and 96 outputs
