We previously introduced a receiver named NET1 that provides a video signal and two audio signals
used as inputs (sources) to the router. Let’s assume we physically connect the video output of the
receiver to the Cheetah video router as input #1, and the left and right audio signals to the DRS audio
router as audio inputs #1 and #2, respectively.
Through controller configuration, we can add a source group entry that creates a router source by the
name of NET1 and define that whenever the source named NET1 is selected at a router control panel:
• Physical input #1 to the Cheetah video router is the selected source signal for the VID switching
level.
• Physical input #1 to the DRS audio router is the selected source signal for switching level
AUDL.
• Physical input #2 to the DRS router is the selected source signal for switching level AUDR.
Destinations, or destination groups, are also configured during creation of the controller configuration
file, and define the router outputs just as sources define the router inputs.
Our example destination device is a recorder named VTR1 that requires a video signal and two audio
signals derived from outputs (destinations) of the router. Let’s assume we physically connect the video
input cable of the recorder to the Cheetah video router at output #1, and the left and right audio inputs to
the DRS audio router at audio outputs #1 and #2, respectively.
Through controller configuration, we can add a destination group entry that creates a router destination
by the name of VTR1 and define that whenever VTR1 is selected as a destination at a router control
panel:
• Physical output #1 from the Cheetah video router is the selected destination for the source
signal selected on switching level VID.
• Physical output #1 from the DRS audio router is the selected destination for the source signal
selected on switching level AUDL.
• Physical output #2 from the DRS router is the selected destination for the source signal selected
on switching level AUDR.
By defining and associating various router I/O signals with source and destination groups you can easily
configure system control panels to access and switch multiple signals in a single operation. The Smart
32 panel also gives you the ability to switch individual signals of a source or destination group as a
breakaway operation.

All-Levels or Audio-Follow-Video (AFV) is the power-on default switching method for the Smart 32
panel, and is the active switching method when the status message All Levels is displayed on the Level
display line of the status display screen or when none of the pushbutton keys assigned to a level are lit.
When an AFV switch is performed, signals on all switching levels defined for the selected source are
switched simultaneously to all switching levels defined for the selected destination.
