6.3 Assembling an Expanded Matrix Switcher
You can expand the number of inputs and outputs using several
VS-1616V
units
1
. Set the MACHINE ADDRESS # (see section 6.5.2) on each
VS-1616V
unit to define which inputs and outputs are configured to that
particular unit when expanding, as the chart in Figure 8 illustrates.
For example, to connect a 48x64 switcher (48 inputs and 64 outputs), you
would configure using MACHINE ADDRESS # 1, 2, 3, 4; 7, 8, 9, 10; 13, 14,
15 and 16. You can only choose a rectangular
2
configuration from the chart in
Figure 8.

Assembling a 32x16 Switcher
As can be seen in Figure 8, a 32x16 switcher consists of 2
VS-1616V
units
(MACHINE ADDRESS # 1 and MACHINE ADDRESS # 7). To assemble,
as Figure 9 illustrates:
1. Set the
same
MACHINE #
3
(see section 6.5.1) on both
VS-1616V
units.
1 For example, a 32x32 switcher and a 32x16 switcher. In fact, you can connect up to 36 units to form a switcher with 96
inputs and 96 outputs
2 For example, like this:
but not like this:
3 For a single group, this is usually set to # 1, as in the example in Figure 9
