Setting Up EC9535 Switch Points
A “switch point” is a point in time in which an output is switched from the current source to a new
source. Different video and audio formats require different switch points to prevent data or picture
disturbances. UniConfig enables you to set switch point parameters for individual outputs. Switch
points are initially set up as part of configuring the EC9535.
Switch points are managed through the ‘Switch Point Setup’ window. Reference information for
video and audio signals is through reference connections housed on the EC9535. For video refer-
ence signals, there are two connections labeled ‘VIDEO REF’. Both video reference connections
can reference the same signal or each connection can reference a unique signal. For audio reference
signals, there are two connections labeled ‘AES REF’. One or both connections are connected to a
stable source of AES3 at a sample rate of 48
kHz. If both reference connections are connected, one
acts as a backup, automatically providing a reference signal should an AES reference source fail.
Important: in general, the video reference and AES reference on the EC9535 are not used. The
reference signals are received from the router connected to the EC9535. If you plan to connect ref-
erence signals to the EC9535, please contact Technical Support before proceeding. (See
