Creating a Tie

NWhen creating video and audio ties in the low resolution video group, audio must be redirected (tied to a different, but corresponding, output than the video) because there are only audio outputs 1 through 6. In this case, the audio is tied to an output in the computer video/audio group.

•If the video is tied to output 7, the audio is tied to output 1.

•If the video is tied to output 8, the audio is tied to output 2.

•If the video is tied to output 9, the audio is tied to output 3.

•If the video is tied to output 10, the audio is tied to output 4.

•If the video is tied to output 11, the audio is tied to output 5.

•If the video is tied to output 12, the audio is tied to output 6.

NIf you select an input in the low resolution video input group (inputs 9 through 14), you can only select outputs in the low resolution video output group (outputs 7 through 12). The switcher automatically redirects the audio. This restriction applies to tying and untying.
