KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Using the MENU Command Sequence
30
1. Press the TAKE button twice.
The front panel unlocks and the same messages show as in steps 1 and 2
above.
8.2 Choosing the System Modes
The terms audio-follow-video
1
and audio breakaway
2
are well known.
Sometimes signals other than audio signals need to switch simultaneously
and at other times, need to switch independently. For example:
Non-linear editing systems, that sometimes combine video with
analog audio and at other times combine video with digital audio
Duplication systems, that make Master tapes from programs with
different formats: composite analog, component analog and
component digital
When the VS-1616SDI functions in the:
Follow-SYSTEM mode, the VS-1616SDI switches with other
16x16 matrix switchers
3
, implementing the same action
simultaneously
Breakaway-from-SYSTEM mode, the VS-1616SDI
4
functions
independently, implementing an action independently of the
others
The VS-1616SDI unit will function
5
in the Follow-SYSTEM mode if at least
one other VS-1616SDI unit
6
is set to the Follow-SYSTEM mode and these
units interconnect via an RS-232 and/or RS-485 communication line.
To set the VS-1616SDI unit to function in the Follow-SYSTEM mode:
1. Press the MENU button twice.
The MATRIX Display shows the message:
Follow the SYSTEM
yes -> TAKE, next -> MENU
1 Video and the audio channels switch simultaneously in the same way
2 Audio channels switch independently from the video channels
3 16x16 matrix switchers in the same series, that include, for example, the VS-1616V (a 16x16 analog video matrix switcher),
the VS-1616A (16x16 balanced stereo audio matrix switcher), the VS-1616AD (16x16 digital audio matrix switcher units),
the VS-162V (a 16x16 video matrix switcher), and the VS-162AV (a 16x16 audio-video matrix switcher) units
4 Also applies to a VS-1616A unit or a VS-1616AD unit
5 The VS-1616SDI unit changes its status immediately and goes to the Follow-system mode
6 Or VS-1616A or VS-1616AD unit (as well as other 16x16 matrix switchers in the same series)
