Connecting Your Matrix Switchers

6.5 Connecting a Component

1

, Y/C, RGBS or RGBHV Switcher

A component

2

switcher consists of three

VS-88V switchers, interconnected as

one group, with one of the switchers set as the Master. A component switcher

can function in the IN SYSTEM or standalone mode. Similarly, you can

configure two

VS-88V switchers for Y/C (s-Video), four VS-88V switchers

for RGBS or five

VS-88V switchers for RGBHV.

To set the

VS-88V switchers in the group to operate as a single component

switcher, do the following with every switcher in the group:

Set the same MACHINE # for each switcher (for example, MACHINE # 2)
Set dipswitch # 5 OFF
Set dipswitch # 6 OFF (

except on the Master, set Dipswitch # 6 ON)

Except for the Master (whose LEDs illuminate and front panel controls remain

unlocked), the LEDs on all switchers in the group are dimmed, and their front

panel controls are locked

button followed by the OFF button on the Master to reset all the connections prior to normal operation
