8.3 Choosing the SWITCHING METHOD Setting

Section 8.3.1 describes the SWITCHING METHOD settings for stand alone

units and large matrices. Section 8.3.2 describes how to configure a

SWITCHING METHOD.

8.3.1

Understanding the SWITCHING METHOD Settings

Setting the unit as a Stand-Alone UNIT provides a choice of 3 SWITCHING

METHOD settings:

NoVIS - switching occurs immediately after completion of front panel or

dry-contact operation or immediately after receiving an RS-232 or RS-485

command, or an IR command. The switching is independent of the vertical

reference

EXT (external sync) - switching occurs during the vertical interval of the

video reference signal connected to the IN SYNC

1

connector (this signal should

be properly terminated via the TERM button

2

)

INT# 1 (internal sync) - switching occurs during the vertical interval of

the video reference signal connected to IN # 1

Setting the unit as a Large Matrix (instead of as a Stand-Alone UNIT) provides a

choice of 4 SWITCHING METHOD settings:

NoVIS, EXT or INT# 1 (as described above)
MTX (SYNC from Matrix) - the vertical interval of the video reference

(selected on one unit in the Large Matrix system) is present on the “SYNC”

RS-485 terminal block connector

3

. This reference signal applies to all

switchers in the multi-switcher system and facilitates switching all

VS-162/VS-1616 series units simultaneously

To choose the MTX (SYNC from Matrix) setting

4

as the example in Figure

17 illustrates:

Connect the RS-485 terminal block connectors

5

between each switcher in

the multi-switcher system

Connect and set the video reference signal on one of the video units to

EXT (external sync) or INT# 1 (internal sync)

Set the video reference on the other video units to the MTX (SYNC from

Matrix) setting

1 Item 1 in Figure 2
2 Item 3 in Figure 2
3 Item 5 in Figure 2
4 This sets the matrix sync configuration from another (Master) machine
5 Via a straight connection of all 4 PINS
