Cable between level 1 and level 3

is in place.

Nine jumpers remain in their

original location (no jumpers

on the jumper holder).

Split Board Configuration (Limited Quantity of Any Input Type)

AKA: 8 Video, Up to 8 S-Video/Video, and Up to 8 Component/S-Video/Video

Sources

NOTE: Dealing with a system that contains more than 16 sources? This

configuration may be preferred as long as the system does not contain more than

eight component video sources.

This configuration somewhat mimics the out-of-the-box configuration, but there are

differences. The first difference is that jumpers need to be removed and the cable

assembly must be attached. Refer to "Cabling and Jumpers" on page 12 for details.

Secondly, even though the total number of mixed sources allowed in this

configuration is greater, it does not permit more than eight component sources at any

time.

The following figure illustrates the effect of connecting the cable between the level 1

and level 3 boards and removing the jumpers from the level 3 board. Eight level 3

inputs become an extension of the level 1 board, resulting in a logical 24X8 switcher

on level 1, a 16X8 switcher on level 2; and an 8X8 switcher on level 3.
