3 Configuration
This chapter provides an overview of the configuration options that are available on the
Sublime Digital Audio Routers.
3.1 Router level
Switches 1 - 4 on the configuration switch set the router’s level for communication with the
Router Management System and other units in the NCB system. The panels on the NCB
dedicated to operate with the router must be configured to the same level as that router.
If several routers are combined to form an Audio Follow Video, RGB or similar system,
these routers must be configured to the same level.
The levels can be switched according to the following pattern:
Default level is 1.
3.2 Router mode
3.2.1 Router mode on NxN square routers
The Sublime A/V router allows switching in different modes:
Switches 5 - 6 on the configuration switch set the router’s mode. The Router Management
System software must be configured according to the mode chosen on the router.
The modes can be switched according to the following pattern:
Default mode is 1 router layer.
