Video switcher — SIS command: i&

This configuration is the same as for the audio-video switcher shown on the previous page, except that only video signals are switched. This is called "audio breakaway."

MAV Plus 1616 A (Matrix) using MCP 1000s

This configuration is the same as for the audio-video switcher, except that only audio signals are switched. This is called "audio breakaway."

Audio breakaway is not available in matrix mode.

In the illustration below, the master switches video only and the slave switches audio only. In this configuration, the two units are operationally identical, even though one is a master and one is a slave. The master could have been set for audio, and the slave could have been set for video.

Output (matrix) — SIS command: i*o!

Depending on the size of the matrix switcher, the MCP 1000 can be set up for one of 64 output numbers. In output mode, an MCP 1000 acts like a switcher for a specific output number on the matrix. For example, if the MCP 1000 is set up for output 5 and panel button 3 is pressed, the matrix ties input 3 to output 5.

Preset (matrix) — SIS command: p.

A preset is a set of ties, inputs to outputs, that has been made and stored previously. Depending on the size of the matrix switcher, the MCP 1000 can be set up for presets 1 through 16, or 17 through 32. Pressing an MCP button recalls (activates) a preset in the matrix.

Slave applications (comm-link)

CAUTION	Do not connect both a Matrix 3200/6400 BME
	and an MCP 1000M (master) unit on the same
	comm-link connection. Also, do not connect more
	than one master on the same comm-link connection.
	Both of theses units supply voltage to the comm-
	link ports on pins A and B. Connect these pins
	to only one power source. This does not apply to
	MCP 1000S (slave) units.

A slave unit has no RS-232 port; it communicates through the comm-link ports. This allows it to be used in a

Matrix 3200/6400 system, either as a single control panel or with other MCP 1000 and MKP 1000 units.

An MCP 1000S must always connect to an MCP 1000M or to a Matrix 3200/6400 BME. See "Output (matrix) — SIS command: i*o!" and "Preset (matrix) — SIS command: p.", earlier in this chapter, for two examples of slave units used with a master unit.

A slave sends signals by comm-link to the MCP 1000M or BME. An MCP 1000M translates those signals to SIS commands and sends them to the controlled device. A master BME sends control signals to the appropriate BMEs in the Matrix 3200/6400 system.

Daisy-chain configuration

A daisy-chain configuration saves cable by allowing signals from units that are far away to be passed serially through units that are near the master unit. MCP 1000 and MKP 1000 units can be mixed in the same configuration.
