Operating Your Audio-Video Matrix Switcher

7.2.1

Choosing the Audio-Follow-Video or Breakaway Mode

You can switch video/audio signals in one of 2 ways, either:

BREAKAWAY, in which video and audio channels switch independently;

AUDIO-FOLLOW-VIDEO (AFV) in which all operations relate to both

the video and the audio channels

7.2.1.1 Setting the Breakaway Mode

To set the BREAKAWAY mode, either:

Press the VIDEO (for video control only) button

If the VIDEO button illuminates, all operations and the LCD MATRIX and

STATUS Displays relate to Video;

Press the AUDIO (for audio control only) button

If the AUDIO button illuminates, all operations and the LCD MATRIX and

STATUS Displays relate to Audio

7.2.1.2 Setting the Audio-Follow-Video Mode

To set the Audio-follow-video (AFV) mode

1. Press the AFV button.
2. If the audio and video configurations are the same, the AFV button

illuminates. All operations and the LCD MATRIX and STATUS Displays

relate to both the video and the audio channels.

3. If the audio configuration differs from the video configuration, each of the

following will occur simultaneously:

The Audio and Video buttons will blink in a fast alternating cycle
The TAKE LED will blink
In the MATRIX Display, digits that represent different audio/video

configurations will blink alternately

(For example, the MATRIX Display would show as the input for output 10,

the blinking, alternating digits 01 and 02, if IN 1 was routed to OUT 10 for

video, and IN 2 was routed to OUT 10 for audio)

4. Press the TAKE button to confirm the modification (reconfiguring the

audio according to the video).

1 Audio and video connections are the same and switch at the same moment at the beginning of the sync
2 Be aware that all audio configurations that differ from the video configurations will be lost when returning to the audio
breakaway mode after the AFV mode. To store an audio configuration setup, see section 7.2.5
