You must set DIP 5 ON to enable the FOLLOW-SYSTEM mode in an
interconnected varied-format switcher application.
You must set the machine number on each machine to a different value.

BREAKAWAY-FROM- SYSTEM modes MENUs.
6.3.3 Understanding the Slave Mode
The SLAVE mode is only used for the multi-channel video switcher
configuration, for example, when using three VS-3232V units to form a YUV
or an RGB switcher, as Figure 5 illustrates. One unit is used as the Master,
and the other two units are Slaves. The Slaves always follow the Master. In
the example illustrated in Figure 5, the first VS-3232V unit is the Master (with
DIP 6 set OFF enabling the Master mode) and the second and third VS-3232V
units are Slaves (with DIP 6 set ON enabling the Slave mode).
On all three machines the machine number must be set to the same value.
On both Slave VS-3232V units, the LCD display 1 , shows the following
message:
However, the display on each Slave VS-3232V unit dynamically shows 2 all
the changes that were made in the Master VS-3232V unit.
The front panel control is managed via the Master VS-3232V unit, on which
the front panel buttons are unlocked and the LCD display illuminates.
