6.2 Assembling a System of Interconnected Switchers
A major advantage of the
VS-1616SDI
is that it belongs to the series of
16x16 matrix switchers and, as such, can interconnect with other switchers
in the series. This series includes, but is not limited to,
VS-1616A
(a 16x16
analog balanced stereo audio matrix switcher),
VS-1616V
(a 16x16 analog
video matrix switcher),
VS-1616AD
(a 16x16 digital audio matrix
switcher),
VS-162V
(a 16x16 video matrix switcher), and
VS-162AV
(a
16x16 audio-video matrix switcher).
The block diagram in Figure 4 illustrates how to assemble an interconnected
varied-format 16x16 series switcher that consists of a 32x32 composite
video matrix switcher, a 16x16 digital video matrix switcher, a 32x32
balanced stereo audio matrix switcher, and a 16x16 digital audio matrix
switcher.
Note that each group of switchers has a unique MACHINE # that is shared
by all members of the group. In Figure 4, the 32x32 composite video matrix
switcher is MACHINE # 1, the 16x16 digital video matrix switcher is
MACHINE # 2 and so on. Control of the system is via the MACHINE #’s.
