6.2 Assembling a System of Interconnected Switchers
A major advantage of the unit is that it belongs to the series of 16x16 matrix
switchers and, as such, can interconnect with other switchers in the series.
This series includes, but is not limited to,
VS-1616SDI (a 16x16 digital Video
Matrix Switcher),
VS-1616AD (a 16x16 digital audio matrix switcher),
VS-1616V (a 16x16 analog video matrix switcher), VS-1616A (a 16x16
analog balanced stereo audio matrix switcher), and
VS-162V (a 16x16 video
matrix switcher).
The block diagram in Figure 7 illustrates how to assemble an interconnected
varied-format 16x16 series switcher that consists of a 16x16 audio-video
matrix switcher, a 16x16 digital video matrix switcher, and a 16x16 digital
audio matrix switcher. Each switcher has a unique MACHINE #. In Figure 7,
the 16x16 audio-video matrix switcher is MACHINE # 1, the 16x16 digital
video matrix switcher is MACHINE # 2 and the 16x16 digital audio matrix
switcher is MACHINE #
3. Control of the system is via the MACHINE #’s.
