7 VS-3232A 32x32 Audio Matrix Switcher Configurations
The
VS-3232A
belongs to a series of 32x32 matrix switchers, including the
VS-3232V
and the
VS-3232Vxl
, and as such, can interconnect with them. The
following sections describe:

configuration setups (see

7.1 The VS-3232A Configuration Setups
)
The
VS-3232A
includes two configuration setups: the Follow-System setup
(see
Section 7.1.1
) and the Master/Slave setup (see
Section 7.1.2
).
7.1.1 The Follow-System Configuration Setup
The Follow-System configuration allows communication between the connected
units via a common control line.
In the Follow-System configuration setup:
•
Any type of signal can follow one or more signals within the setup at your
choice
•
Any unit can be turned ON or OFF at any time
•
The LCD display on each unit shows the switching operations
independently
Each unit within this configuration can be switched in the FOLLOW or
BREAKAWAY state (via the FOLLOW or BREAKAWAY front panel
buttons) at any time, depending on the current application requirements.
When the:
•
FOLLOW button is pressed, signals are switched simultaneously
•
BREAKAWAY button is pressed, each machine in the configuration setup
is switched independently
By default, the matrix switchers are set to the BREAKAWAY state (meaning
that each machine switches independently from the other machines in the
configuration setup).
Pressing the FOLLOW button on one machine and then on other machines,
sets them searching for other machines, and they can follow each other
without reference to the order in which they are connected. In this state,
