To connect an RS-485 connector on a VS-1616SDIunit to an RS-485 connector on one or more other switchers (from the series of 16x16 matrix switchers), as Figure 9 illustrates:

1.Connect the “+” PIN on the VS-1616SDIunit to the “+” PIN on the other 16x16 matrix switcher unit

2.Connect the “-” PIN on the VS-1616SDIunit to the “-” PIN on other 16x16 matrix switcher unit

3.If shielded cable is used for an RS-485 connection, connect the shield to the Ground PIN.

For details about how to configure the vertical sync (if required), refer to section 6 .5 and Figure 14.
