The control software allows adjacent inputs or outputs to be linked as stereo pairs and treated as a single source or destination. Stereo linking provides a flexible and convenient solution for facilities which have both stereo and mono sources and destinations to manage. As a standard protection feature the SAS 16000 CPU is equiped with non-volatile memory allowing for safekeeping of all alphas, pushbutton tables and crosspoint status in the event of a power loss. Typical installations wire the switcher to blocks on a cross-connect wall for connection to sources and destinations. Siemon Multi-Flex blocks and ADC ICON panels are designed specifically for stranded wire.
Adapters are available which break out to screw terminal blocks.
SAS provides an open protocol for easy interfacing. The 16 isolated RS-485 ports provide points of access for SAS remote control panels. Each group of commands is programmed using the SAS CMC software and assigned a unique name which may be accesed by control panels operating in salvo mode. Automation Automation is available using our GPI 1600. The automation software runs on a PC and provides a usefull tool for capturing news feeds, roll recording machines and other events.
