9.7.2 Breakaway Mode Operation
To set the VS-169TP to the Breakaway mode:
1. Press one of the BREAKAWAY buttons (UXGA, AUDIO + RS-232 (Tx)
or RS-232 (Rx)).
The selected button blinks.
2. Press the desired channel a second time.
In the Breakaway operation mode you can switch the different channels
independently. For example, when selecting UXGA in the breakaway mode,
you can switch the video inputs independently from the audio and RS-232
channels.
The same applies when selecting AUDIO + RS-232 (Tx), letting you switch
them without switching the UXGA signal.
When pressing the RS-232 (Rx) button, you can manually select the output
from which the RS-232 reply is sent back to the input.
In the example illustrated in
Figure 11 on page 22 , the RS-232 is selected
automatically. Selecting the RS-232 (Rx) in the Breakaway mode, lets you
select output 5 (instead of output 3) to reply to the command transmitted from
input 10, as illustrated in Figure 15 .
The reply command from any output can be sent back only to the input which
transmitted the command. If there are several outputs, the breakaway option
lets you select the reply from a certain output, as illustrated in Figure 15 .
