The American Dynamics AD2031-1 Matrix Switcher/Follower comprises two groups containing sixteen addressable Form-C relays each, which are set to follow video switches for one or two pre-determined video outputs. When the Matrix Switcher/Follower interfaces with American Dynamics Matrix Switcher/Controller systems, switching of external circuits is synchronized with switching of video inputs to video outputs.
The Switcher/Follower's allied inputs can be switched manually - using keyboard commands, or automatically - when an alarm signal is triggered. The audio circuits and graphic display panels/lighting controls can be activated by relays; additional relay courses are provided through cascading multiple units. The rear panel DIP switches help select the video output number and input groups. The unit's universal mount facilitates front/rear mounting on equipment racks as well as even flat mounting on a wall or horizontal surface.
