5.11 Video multiplexer SP16C
5.11.1 Description
The SP16C allows the connection of 16 input videos, which are digitalized and shown as a composite image at
output. A spot service monitor supplies the display of one of the inputs.
Communication from keyboard to multiplexer is one-way.
It is also possible to control the multiplexer indirectly, using a new generation video matrix from the SM series
(SM42A, SM82A, SM84A, SM164A, SM328A). This type of control is described in
§ 5.12 - Controlling the
multiplexer using a video device, page 46
.

5.11.2.4 Operational test
If the keyboard is connected directly with the multiplexer set up in this way using the cable as indicated above, it
should be possible to switch the input videos immediately:

press

to select multiplexer unit 1

press

,

, to select the input videos.
Each command sent by the keyboard corresponds to the lighting up of an LED on the local multiplexer
keyboard.
Warning! If the number of the multiplexer unit does not coincide with the commands sent from the
keyboard, they will be ignored.
