Figure 5−156. Example of automatic conver-
sion system (video connections not shown). For
corresponding table entries, see Figure 5−157.
This system will require four tie lines, with a dedicated A to D converter connected to the first pair and a dedicated D to A
converter connected to the second pair. Each pair is “locked” together, meaning that selection of one result in selection of both.
The corresponding table entries are shown in Figure 5−157.
There are three rules governing this technique:
1. The pathfinding groups to be locked together MUST have identical digital Switcher Names, digital Level Names, and
digital Physical Input/Output entries. These groups must be on consecutive rows of the table. Please refer to Groups 1
and 2, as well as Groups 3 and 4, in the Pathfinding Data table.
2. In the Switcher Description table, the “MAINROUT LEFT” level and “MAINROUT RIGHT” level must be controlled
by the same VM 3000 / CM 4000. The “MAINROUT AES” level may be controlled by another VM 3000 / CM 4000.
3. Any levels ���sourced” by, in this case, the MAINROUT LEFT and RIGHT levels may not break away. This must be
established by unchecking the “Breakaway” box in the CP Level Set.
