ASCII CONNECTIONS
You must define connections that reflect how cameras and output devices are physically connected to the switcher. In addition, if a switcher has
looping inputs, you must define connections for the looping inputs. Specifically, you must:
•Connect camera output to switcher input.
•Connect switcher output to output device input.
•Connect looping input to output device input.
The following example illustrates the connections for a switcher with four available outputs and eight available inputs that supports looping.
In the example, logical numbering is not used. If logical numbering were used, the logical identifiers would appear in the dialog box.
Figure 163. Connecting ASCII Devices
In the example, Camera1 is connected to Input1 on the switcher, Camera2 is connected to Input2, and Camera3 is connected to Input3.
The switcher’s other five available inputs do not have connections defined for them. Even if cameras are physically connected to those other
inputs, VMX300(-E) will not be able to switch the cameras until connections are defined for them.
Two of the switcher’s four outputs, Output1 and Output2, are connected to external monitors. The other two outputs are connected to a video
display card’s inputs on the client called Operator.
The switcher’s LoopingInput1, which transmits the input from the switcher’s Input1, is connected to External Monitor3. Since Input1 is connected
to Camera1, External Monitor3 will always display the video from Camera1.
