Self Address
This switch controls the self address of the machine. When the machine works stand-alone, it's self address is 1.
When this key is pressed, the number shown on the display is the self-address of the machine.
The address may be changed by pressing the UP or DOWN keys. When finished, press the ENTER switch.
When operated as a stand-alone machine, the self-address must be set to 1. When more machines are connected
to the system, the numbers should be set in contiguity - e.g., 2, 3, 4 etc. The maximum number of machines that
can be chained is 15.
8.1.5
UP and DOWN Switches
These switches operate when the machine works as a Switcher (manual mode). Pressing the UP switch moves to
the next (higher numbered) input (moving from 4 to 5 for example). Pressing the DOWN switch does the
opposite operation. When you reached the required input, press the ENTER key, then this input will be routed to
the output. The switching in the
VS-16N
machine takes place during the Vertical Interval derived from source
number 1. The switching in the
VS-16A
takes place immediately when the button is touched or when an internal
or external command is given
8.1.6
ENTER Switch
Pressing this switch in Switcher mode will display input 1 on this machine. Pressing the UP switch will move to
the next input etc. To form the connection, press the ENTER key again.
The connected switchers recognize each other in the chain. For example, if you press the ENTER switch in
machine no. 2, and press twice the UP key, and then ENTER again, the display will show input 9 which
corresponds to input 3 on machine 2 (6+3=9).
8.1.7
Remote connectors (rear)
When a wire connected to one of the remote connectors is shorted to ground (available on two additional
connectors on the REMOTE bank) the corresponding input will be connected to the output.
8.2
RS-485
Via this connector bank, the machine can control or be controlled via RS-485 control. When several machines
are connected to form a large switcher/scanner setup, the RS-485 connectors should be all connected in parallel,
i.e., A to A, B to B and G to G (Ground). Please double check the wiring, as reversing a connection may damage
the machine or the controller.
