Understanding the System Mode
Though the terms audio-follow-video
2
and audio breakaway
3
are well known,
there may be signals other than audio signals that need to be switched
simultaneously and at other times, need to be switched independently.
For example:
Non-linear editing systems that combine video with analog audio or with
digital audio
Duplication systems, that produce Master tapes from programs with
different formats such as composite analog, component analog and
component digital
The term FOLLOW-SYSTEM
4
indicates the most common case where
any type of signal can follow one or more other signals.
DIP 5 defines whether the
VS-3232Vxl unit can communicate with other
switchers via a common control line.
You
can set DIP 5 OFF to disable the FOLLOW-SYSTEM mode when
setting a standalone switcher
5
application, including standalone multi-
channel video switcher applications

.

2 Video and the audio channels switch simultaneously in the same way
