6 Installing the Audio-Video Matrix Switcher
To install the unit, connect the following 1
• Power cord
to the rear panel, as required:
• Video input and output cables
• Audio input and output cables
• Control Interface cables between switcher units, or PC (or other
controller), as section 6.4 describes
• Set the dipswitches, as section 6.3 describes
• Set the system variables using the MENU function, as section 8
describes
Using the unit and/or other 16x16 matrix switchers in the series 2
• A stand alone switcher (see section
, you can
assemble the following kinds of systems:
6.1)
• A system of interconnected switchers (see section 6.2)
• A multi-channel switcher (see section 6.3.3)
6.1 Configuring a Stand Alone Switcher
By default, a single VS-162AV unit is configured for:
• Composite video with 16 inputs and 16 outputs on BNC connectors,
and
• Balanced stereo audio 3
6.1.1
with 16 inputs and 16 outputs on detachable
terminal block connectors, as section describes (to configure for
unbalanced 4 6.1.2 stereo audio, see section )
Configure your VS-162AV unit as a stand alone switcher, as Figure 4
illustrates:
1 Switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your unit
2 Including the VS-1616SDI (a 16x16 digital video matrix switcher), the VS-1616AD (a 16x16 digital audio matrix switcher),
the VS-1616V (a 16x16 analog video matrix switcher), the VS-1616A (a 16x16 analog balanced stereo audio matrix
switcher), and the VS-162V (a 16x16 video matrix switcher)
3 The VS-162AVRCA (unlike the VS-162AV) is configured for unbalanced stereo audio with 16 inputs and 16 outputs on
RCA connectors
4 However, for an unbalanced stereo audio input, the output will always be half of the input signal. For example, if the input
is 6dB, the output will be 0dB
