The example in Figure 6 illustrates a 4-channel 16x16 configuration
consisting of 2 VS-1616A units. Broadcasting applications often use 4

and French) or to produce surround sound (in which the sound is supplied
to 4 speakers arranged in each corner of a room).

6.4 Assembling an Expanded Matrix Switcher
You can expand the number of inputs and outputs using several
VS-1616A units

6.6.2 . Set the MACHINE ADDRESS # (see section ) on
each VS-1616A unit to define which inputs and outputs are configured to
that particular unit when expanding, as the chart in
Figure 7 illustrates.
For example, to connect a 48x64 switcher (48 inputs and 64 outputs), you
would configure using MACHINE ADDRESS # 1, 2, 3, 4; 7, 8, 9, 10; 13,
14, 15 and 16. You can only choose a rectangular

inputs and 96 outputs
