To set up audio in follow mode (audio and video have the same tie
confi guration), select the Follow box at the bottom of the window. To set up
audio in breakaway mode (audio and video have different tie confi gurations),
deselect the Follow box.
To make the control program easier to use, assign a device icon to each input
and output. Click on a box that represents an input or output, and drag the
desired icon onto the box from the icon palette that appears.
To create a tie, drag an input box to one or more output boxes. To remove a
tie, drag the output box to its tied input box or to the trash can.
For quick display of information on a specifi c input or output device, position
the cursor over that device in the control program window. The program
opens a window that details the connections to that device, the audio level,
the RGB delay, and the frequency of the video signal input from or output to
that device. See the inset box in fi gure 5-3.
