7 Operating Your VP-1608 16x8 RGBHV/Balanced Audio Matrix
This section describes how to operate the VP-1608. The section includes:
Choosing the Audio-Follow-Video or Breakaway option (see Section 7.1)
Switching OUT-IN combinations (see Section 7.2)
Confirming settings (see Section 7.3)
Storing/recalling input/output configurations (see Section 7.4)
Adjusting the audio gain control (see section 7.5)
Locking and unlocking the front panel (see Section 7.6)
Resetting the VP-1608 (see Section 7.7)

7.1 Using the Audio-Follow-Video or Breakaway Option

By default, the VP-1608 is setup for use as a single machine. This means that it is
a 16x8 RGBHV/Balanced Audio Matrix (in audio-follow-video mode), with all
setups empty and each input connected to its corresponding output (for example,
input 1 to output 1). The DIP-switches are set up for a typical application using a
single machine (see Figure 9):

You can switch stereo audio signals in one of two ways, either:
Audio-follow-video (AFV), where audio and video channels switch together,
or
Breakaway, where audio and video channels switch independently
