The largest possible system consists of three 128 x 128 video BMEs, two 128 x 128 sync BMEs, and one 128 x 128 audio BME. This system can then be mapped to become a matrix with 128 virtual inputs and 128 virtual outputs in seven virtual planes (R, G, B, H, V, left-channel audio, and right-channel audio).

All of these configurations are established by creating a virtual map with the Virtualization/Control software and downloading the virtual map to the BME. The Virtualization/Control software is included with each switcher.

Note that the number of virtual planes identifies how many physical input (or output) connectors are switched for each virtual input switched. The following table shows how the physical and virtual inputs and outputs differ in a video BME in the 64 x 64 S-video matrix and 42 x 42 component video virtual matrix examples above. In either example, the audio BME (not shown) has physical input 1 as virtual input 1, 2 as 2, and so on.
