8.3.1Understanding the SWITCHING METHOD Settings

Setting the VS-1616SDIunit as a Stand-Alone UNIT provides a choice of 4 SWITCHING METHOD settings:

￿NoVIS - switching occurs immediately after completion of front panel or dry-contact operation or immediately after receiving an RS-232 or RS-485 command, or an IR command. The switching is independent of the vertical reference

￿EXTERNAL SYNC ANALOG - switching occurs during the vertical interval of the video reference signal connected to the ANALOG connector (this signal should be properly terminated via the 75￿ (Term) button1)

￿EXTERNAL SYNC DIGITAL - switching occurs during the vertical interval of the video reference signal connected to the DIGITAL connector

￿INT# 1 DIGITAL - switching occurs during the vertical interval of the video signal connected to Input # 1

Before choosing the EXTERNAL SYNC DIGITAL or the INT# 1 DIGITAL SWITCHING METHOD setting, it is necessary to install a digital Genlock input board2. Without installing the optional digital Genlock input board, these SWITCHING METHOD setting commands will be unavailable.

Setting the VS-1616SDIunit as a Large Matrix (instead of as a Stand-Alone UNIT) provides a choice of 5 SWITCHING METHOD settings:

￿NoVIS, EXTERNAL SYNC ANALOG, EXTERNAL SYNC DIGITAL, INT# 1 DIGITAL, (as described above)

￿MTX (SYNC from Matrix) - the vertical interval of the video reference (selected on one unit in the Large Matrix system) is present on the “SYNC” RS-485 terminal block connector3. This reference signal applies to all switchers in the multi- switcher system and facilitates switching all VS-1616SDIunits simultaneously

To choose the MTX (SYNC from Matrix) setting4 as the example in Figure

2 Available for purchase as an optional extra

3 Item 6 in Figure 2
