Break-away Switching
When an audio layer is configured, it is possible to switch only video, only audio, or both.
To do that, toggle the V and A buttons so that only the desired level type is lit.
Example (with auto take disabled):
1. Press output 2
2. The input it is connected to will light. If audio and video are both connected to input 5, it will be cyan.
3. Press input 6. It will blink cyan. The Take button will blink red.
4. To switch only audio to source 6, turn off the V button. Input 6 will now blink blue.
5. Press the Take button.
6. Input 6 will now be solid blue and input 5 will be solid green.
Note: the V and A buttons can also be changed prior to choosing a preset.
