NOTE: The matrix switcher must be connected to via a configured input on the

DVS 304. See page 26 for information.

The matrix and the DVS must to be connected to an active network at all

times to allow the products to remain synchronized. If the connection is

lost, the script needs to be restarted by either sending the SIS command or

by power cycling the DVS.
