Understanding the SYSTEM Mode
The terms audio-follow-video
1
and audio breakaway
2
are well known.
Sometimes signals other than audio signals need to switch simultaneously and
at other times, need to switch independently. For example:
Non-linear editing systems, that sometimes combine video with analog
audio and at other times combine video with digital audio
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 Stand alone
switcher applications

.
You
must set DIP 5 ON to enable the Follow-SYSTEM mode in an
interconnected varied-format switcher application
