Using the MENU Command Sequence
1.Press the TAKE button twice.
The front panel unlocks and the same messages show as in steps 1 and 2 above.
8.2Choosing the System Modes
The terms audio-follow-video1and audio breakaway2 are well known. Sometimes signals other than audio signals need to switch simultaneously and at other times, need to switch independently. For example:
Non-linear editing systems, that sometimes combine video with analog audio and at other times combine video with digital audio
Duplication systems, that make Master tapes from programs with different formats: composite analog, component analog and component digital
When the VS-1616SDIfunctions in the:
Follow-SYSTEMmode, the VS-1616SDIswitches with other 16x16 matrix switchers3, implementing the same action simultaneously
Breakaway-from-SYSTEM mode, the VS-1616SDI4functions independently, implementing an action independently of the others
The VS-1616SDIunit will function5 in the Follow-SYSTEMmode if at least one other VS-1616SDIunit6 is set to the Follow-SYSTEMmode and these units interconnect via an RS-232 and/or RS-485 communication line.
To set the VS-1616SDIunit to function in the Follow-SYSTEMmode:
1.Press the MENU button twice.
The MATRIX Display shows the message:
Follow the SYSTEM
yes -> TAKE, next -> MENU
1 Video and the audio channels switch simultaneously in the same way 2 Audio channels switch independently from the video channels
3 16x16 matrix switchers in the same series, that include, for example, the VS-1616V (a 16x16 analog video matrix switcher), the VS-1616A (16x16 balanced stereo audio matrix switcher), the VS-1616AD (16x16 digital audio matrix switcher units), the VS-162V (a 16x16 video matrix switcher), and the VS-162AV (a 16x16 audio-video matrix switcher) units
4 Also applies to a VS-1616A unit or a VS-1616AD unit
5 The VS-1616SDI unit changes its status immediately and goes to the Follow-system mode
6 Or VS-1616A or VS-1616AD unit (as well as other 16x16 matrix switchers in the same series)
