Configuring 16x16 Multi-Channel Video Switchers
You can configure
VS-162V
units as a 16x16 multi-channel video switcher
for:
•
s-Video (Y/C) (see section
7.2.1
)
•
YUV (RGB) (see section
7.2.2
)
•
RGBS (see section
7.2.3
)
You may need several
VS-162V
units to expand the system, as
Table 4
defines. For example, for composite configuration, a single
VS-162V
unit
provides 16 inputs and 16 outputs. However, for s-Video (Y/C)
configuration you need two
VS-162V
units to provide 16 inputs and 16
outputs.
In a multi-channel video switcher configuration, one unit must be the master
(with DIP 6 OFF) while the other units are slaves (with DIP 6 ON).
The front panel of each slave unit is always locked and the
MATRIX
and
STATUS
LCD displays do not illuminate. The slave units follow the master.
The master unit operates in the regular way

same state from the outset, turn on the master unit power

turning on
the slave units.

7.2.1 Configuring a 2-Unit 16x16 Y/C Switcher
To configure a 16x16 s-Video (Y/C) video matrix switcher, combine two
VS-162V
switchers. Connect as shown in
Figure 7
, substituting the C unit
for the U unit and ignoring the V unit. Set the DIP-switches as shown in
Figure 7
. Connect the communication line via the RS-232 or RS-485 control
interface as described in section 9.
