6 Installing the Audio-Video Matrix Switcher
To install the unit, connect the following 1 to the rear panel, as required:
Power cord
Video input and output cables
Audio input and output cables
Control Interface cables between switcher units, or PC (or other
controller), as section 6.4 describes
Set the dipswitches, as section 6.3 describes
Set the system variables using the MENU function, as section 8 describes
Using the unit and/or other 16x16 matrix switchers in the series 2 , you can
assemble the following kinds of systems:
A stand alone switcher (see section 6.1)
A system of interconnected switchers (see section 6.2)
A multi-channel switcher (see section 6.3.3)
6.1 Configuring a Stand Alone Switcher
By default, a single VS-162AV unit is configured for:
Composite video with 16 inputs and 16 outputs on BNC connectors, and
Balanced stereo audio 3 with 16 inputs and 16 outputs on detachable
terminal block connectors, as section 6.1.1 describes (to configure for
unbalanced 4 stereo audio, see section 6.1.2)
Configure your VS-162AV unit as a stand alone switcher, as Figure 4
illustrates:
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your unit
2 Including the VS-1616SDI (a 16x16 digital video matrix switcher), the VS-1616AD (a 16x16 digital audio matrix switcher),
the VS-1616V (a 16x16 analog video matrix switcher), the VS-1616A (a 16x16 analog balanced stereo audio matrix
switcher), and the VS-162V (a 16x16 video matrix switcher)
3 The VS-162AVRCA (unlike the VS-162AV) is configured for unbalanced stereo audio with 16 inputs and 16 outputs on
RCA connectors
4 However, for an unbalanced stereo audio input, the output will always be half of the input signal. For example, if the input
is 6dB, the output will be 0dB
