7Operating Your VP-1608 16x8 RGBHV/Balanced Audio Matrix

This section describes how to operate the VP-1608. The section includes:

Choosing the Audio-Follow-Video or Breakaway option (see Section 7.1)

Switching OUT-IN combinations (see Section 7.2)

Confirming settings (see Section 7.3)

Storing/recalling input/output configurations (see Section 7.4)

Adjusting the audio gain control (see section 7.5)

Locking and unlocking the front panel (see Section 7.6)

Resetting the VP-1608(see Section 7.7)

Displaying unit characteristics (see Section 7.8)

7.1Using the Audio-Follow-Video or Breakaway Option

By default, the VP-1608is setup for use as a single machine. This means that it is a 16x8 RGBHV/Balanced Audio Matrix (in audio-follow-video mode), with all setups empty and each input connected to its corresponding output (for example, input 1 to output 1). The DIP-switches are set up for a typical application using a single machine (see Figure 9):

Figure 9: DIP-Switch Setup on a Single Machine

You can switch stereo audio signals in one of two ways, either:

Audio-follow-video (AFV), where audio and video channels switch together, or

Breakaway, where audio and video channels switch independently
