1. Connecting the Video Matrix Switcher 6 3 4 The System Mode versus the Master Slave Mode The Follow mode seems similar to the Slave mode since in both modes the unit switches via commands from another unit Table 5 summarizes the differences between the System mode and the Slave mode Table 5 The System Mode versus the Slave Mode System Mode Slave Mode The unit can be switched in the Follow or Breakaway The unit always follows the Master It cannot be set in mode at any time depending on the current application the breakaway stand alone mode without turning off requirements and rewiring Any unit can be turned on or off at any time The Slave unit can be turned ON only after full initialization of the Master unit 6 4 Connecting a Control Interface You can connect a control interface RS 232 or RS 485 The control interface must be identical on each switcher in the series of 32x32 matrix switchers either RS 232 or RS 485 One control interface suffices Do not use both RS 232 and RS 485 control interfaces in the same configuration For example in an interconnected varied format 32x32 switcher application if the switcher that connects to the PC connects via the RS 232 control interface each switcher must interconnect via the RS 232 control interface and not via the RS 485 control interface You may transfer from one interface to another via the Kramer VP 43xl Interface Converter You can choose the RS 232 control interf
