VS-3232A 32x32 Audio Matrix Switcher Configurations
15

The BREAKAWAY and FOLLOW front panel buttons have no effect in the
Master/Slave configuration setup since the connected machines act as one unit
in one box.
DIP 6 determines the operation mode of each unit within the Master/Slave
configuration setup. DIP 6 is set to:
• ON, for the Slave units in the configuration setup
• OFF, for the Master unit in the configuration setup
Set the machine number on all the machines to the same value.
The example illustrated in Figure 9 shows three 32x32 matrix switchers: one
composite video switcher and two audio switchers. DIP 5 is set to OFF on all
three switchers and DIP 6 is set to OFF on the CV VS-3232Vxl switcher (the
Master) and to ON on the two VS-3232A audio switchers
1
(the Slaves). All
the units have the same machine number (see Section 7.5.1 ).

Figure 9: Connecting in the Master/Slave Configuration Setup
In this example, the Slaves always follow the Master, and both machines act
as a single unit.
Switching input 1 to output 16 on the CV switcher, switches input 1 to output
16 on the English language audio switcher and on the French language audio
switcher. In this state you cannot perform this switching operation on any of
the audio switchers and have the CV switcher follow, or set any of the
machines in this configuration to operate independently (as a standalone unit),
unless you turn OFF the machines and change the DIP-switch settings.
