8.3 Understanding the SYSTEM Mode
The terms audio-follow-video 1 and audio breakaway 2
• Non-linear editing systems, that sometimes combine video with
analog audio and at other times combine video with digital audio
are well known.
Sometimes signals other than audio signals need to switch simultaneously
and at other times, need to switch independently. For example:
• Duplication systems, that make Master tapes from programs with
different formats: composite analog, component analog and
component digital
DIP 5 defines whether the unit communicates with other switchers via a
common control line.
You can set DIP 5 OFF to disable the Follow-SYSTEM mode in standalone
switcher applications 3
You must set DIP 5 ON to enable the Follow-SYSTEM mode in an
interconnected varied-format switcher application

Breakaway-from- SYSTEM modes.
8.4 Understanding the SLAVE Mode
The SLAVE mode is only used for the multi-channel video switcher
configuration, for example, when joining together two units. Two units
could be configured as a 16x16 s-Video (Y/C) with 4-channel stereo audio.
One unit is used as the Master, and the other unit is the Slave. The Slave
always follows the Master. In the example the first unit is the Master (with
DIP 6 set OFF disabling the Slave mode) and the second unit is the Slave
(with DIP 6 set ON enabling the Slave mode).
On the Slave unit, the MATRIX and STATUS displays do not illuminate and
the STATUS display shows this message:
Keyboard LOCKED
1 Video and the audio channels switch simultaneously in the same way
2 Audio channels switch independently from the video channels
