Audio input and output connections

By default, the audio ties follow the video ties. Audio breakaway, which can be activated via the optional front panel or under Ethernet or RS-232 control, allows you to select from any one of the audio input sources, regardless of video group, and route it separately from its corresponding video source.

NAudio ties can be made only to outputs in the computer/audio group (outputs 1 through 6).

The audio level for each input and the volume level for each output can be individually set via the front panel or Ethernet or RS-232 control. See chapter 3, “Operation”, chapter 4, “SIS Programming and Control”, chapter 5, “Switcher Software”, and chapter 6, “HTML Operation” for details.
