analog audio and at other times combine video with digital audio
are well known.
Sometimes signals other than audio signals need to switch simultaneously
and at other times, need to switch independently. For example:
• Duplication systems, that make Master tapes from programs with
different formats: composite analog, component analog and
component digital
