7.2 Assembling a Multi-channel Audio Switcher
The example in Figure 11 illustrates a 4-channel 32x32 configuration
consisting of two VS-3232A units. Broadcasting applications often use four
channels, to broadcast stereo audio sound in two languages (say, English and
French) or to produce surround sound.
DIP 6 is set to OFF on the master unit and set to ON on the Slave unit.
The front panel of the Slave unit is always locked and the LCD display does
not illuminate. The Slave unit follows the Master. The Master unit operates in
the regular way, that is, its front panel is not locked and the LCD display
illuminates, leading the Slaves in the background.
When turning the system ON, the Slave unit initialization sequence
automatically follows the Master unit initialization sequence.
