B.2 Creating Virtual Matrix Breakaways
Breakaway virtual matrices can be created from an existing virtual matrix,
allowing signals to be switched independently. The most common reason for
creating virtual matrix breakaways is to configure a system so that video and
audio signals can be switched separately.
The information in the dialog boxes for this section is based on the following
scenario. The original system was configured to switch composite and stereo
signals together on Virtual Matrix 0, and now they need to be switched
independently. Two additional virtual matrices, VM1 (for composite) and VM2
(for stereo audio), are created to allow the video and audio to switch
independently (breakaway).
Note:
