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 )
• Displaying unit characteristics (see Section 7.8 )
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
