Installing the Video Matrix Switcher

inputs and 16 outputs. However, for s-Video (Y/C) configuration you need 2
VS-1616V
units to provide 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
In a multi-channel video switcher configuration, only one unit is the Master
(with DIP 6 OFF). The other units are Slaves (with DIP 6 ON).
The front panel of each Slave unit is always locked and the
MATRIX
and
STATUS
LCD Displays do not illuminate. The Slave units follow the Master.
The Master unit operates in the regular way

, leading the Slaves in the
background.
To activate a multi-channel video switcher so that each unit is in the same
state from the outset, do not turn on the power on the Slave units after the
Master unit.

Configuring a 16x16 Y/C Switcher (2 Units)
Configure a 16x16 video matrix switcher for s-Video (Y/C) by combining 2
VS-1616V
switchers. Connect as in Figure 7, substituting the C unit for the U
unit and ignoring the V unit. Set the dipswitches as Figure 7 illustrates.
Connect the communication line via the RS-232
or
RS-485 control interface
as section 6.6 describes.
