6.13. Crosspoint Switching Examples
The VINX devices can be arranged and used as a matrix. The working method
of such a system is different than a dedicated matrix switcher. Therefore, the
approach and the control commands are also different.

The source Encoder of an existing video wall (VW1) can be changed. In this case,
the Video stream ID of the affected Decoders must be changed one-by-one.
