7.1 Using the Audio-Follow-Video or Breakaway Option

By default, the VP-1608 is setup for use as a single machine. This means that it is

a 16x8 RGBHV/Balanced Audio Matrix (in audio-follow-video mode), with all

setups empty and each input connected to its corresponding output (for example,

input 1 to output 1). The DIP-switches are set up for a typical application using a

single machine (see

Figure 9):

You can switch stereo audio signals in one of two ways, either:

• Audio-follow-video (AFV), where audio and video channels switch together,

• Breakaway, where audio and video channels switch independently
