Tree configuration

In a tree configuration, the output of each VSW 2VGA A switcher is connected to input 1 or input 2 of the next switcher. This repetition of one switcher's output to another switcher's input can be repeated for up to a maximum of 10 switchers in a daisy chain. The output of the last switcher is connected to a display.

Source signals are connected to input 1 and input 2 of each VSW 2VGA A switcher at the top of the tree through a VSW I AAP interface. Select the source by pressing the VSW I AAP's Show Me button for the corresponding switcher.

•Switchers can be daisy chained in this configuration up to ten levels deep without any signal degradation.

•A power supply is required for each switcher in the chain that has its output connected to input 1 of the next switcher.

•Sources can only be selected and connected to the switcher through the VSW I AAP interface.

•Each VSW I AAP must be configured for the tree configuration. See "Using the VSW I AAP" in this chapter for additional information.

Tree configuration example

The following illustration is a simple example of daisy chaining using a tree configuration.
