11.3 Choosing the SWITCHING METHOD Setting
Section 11.3.1 describes the SWITCHING METHOD settings for
standalone units and large matrices. Section 11.3.2 describes how to
configure a SWITCHING METHOD.
11.3.1 Understanding the SWITCHING METHOD Settings
Setting the unit as a Stand-Alone UNIT provides a choice of three
SWITCHING METHOD settings:
• NoVIS - switching occurs immediately after completion of front
panel or dry-contact operation or immediately after receiving an
RS-232 or RS-485 command, or an IR command. The switching
is independent of the vertical reference
• EXT (external sync) - switching occurs during the vertical
interval of the video reference signal connected to the IN SYNC 1
connector (this signal should be properly terminated via the
TERM button 2
• INT# 1 (internal sync) - switching occurs during the vertical
interval of the video reference signal connected to IN # 1
)
Setting the unit as a Large Matrix (instead of as a Stand-Alone UNIT) provides
a choice of 4 SWITCHING METHOD settings:
• NoVIS, EXT or INT# 1 (as described above)
• MTX (SYNC from Matrix) - the vertical interval of the video
reference (selected on one unit in the Large Matrix system) is
present on the “SYNC” RS-485 terminal block connector 3
To choose the MTX (SYNC from Matrix) setting
. This
reference signal applies to all switchers in the multi-switcher
system and facilitates switching all VS-162/VS-1616 series units
simultaneously

as the example in
illustrates:
• Connect the RS-485 terminal block connectors 5
• Connect and set the video reference signal on one of the video
units to EXT (external sync) or INT# 1 (internal sync)
between each
switcher in the multi-switcher system
