3.2 BROADCAST/CASCADE/MATRIX EXTENSION
For broadcast, cascade or matrix extension installations, you will need a Gigabit switch that supports IGMP V2 query and Jumbo Frame
(at least 8K).
Each TX must be set to a unique video channel (one of 16 channels) ranging from 0 to F (HEX) via its rotary switch. Set each RX video
channel to the channel that corresponds to the TX video channel. For larger installations, additional channels can be set via the CLI.
