Lectrosonics VI24 User Manual

INTRODUCTION

The VI24 Video Switcher Interface offers flexible automated control of video switch
ers based on the output status of up to eight Lectrosonics AM8 or AM16 mixers.
While its 24 independent logic outputs could be used to control almost anything, the
VI24 is intended primarily for use as a low-cost video-follows-audio system. Some
possible applications are:

• courtrooms
• board rooms
• panel discussions
• legislative sessions
• security systems

Using the accompanying software, you need only describe your mixer setup and
then assign mixer input activity to trigger the VI24’s logic outputs. Your settings are
then sent to the VI24 and the unit is thus “programmed” for your specific needs.
