Video Switching
(continued)
Default Tracking Mode
For many systems, 1-to-1 audio/composite video
switching may be all that is required. Default Tracking
Mode is the default audio/video switching mode for
the S12, and requires no additional programming.
By default, the first twelve video inputs of the S12 are
directly tied to, or 'track' with, the twelve audio inputs.
This means that the audio and composite video
signals of sources 1-12 will switch simultaneously
when selected from a zone without any additional
programming. Additionally, in DefaultTracking Mode,
video inputs 13-16 remain available for additional
Composite video sources such as CCTV cameras.
These inputs can be programmed for selection in any
zone.
In Default Tracking Mode, there are two pre-config-
ured video outputs for each zone. The first output is
pre-configured for a VIA!
®
Touch Panel, the second
output for a TV/monitor. When a video source is
selected in a zone, both of these video outputs will
automatically route the selected source video to that
zone ( see
Video Zone Output Connections
, page
51 for further details).
