– SIMATRIX 64-8
– SIMATRIX SYS
Note: Be aware that it may not be possible to later modify the type. More
precisely, the only modification allowed is to select a bigger model but not to
change to a smaller one. For example, you can change from the '16-4' (de-
fault) toward a '64-8' but not vice versa. If you want to change to a smaller
type, delete the unit and create a new one (note that this results in the exist-
ing connections being lost).
4. Set the number of video-in and video-out points.
If you selected the type 64-8 or SYS, then you can specify the exact number of
inputs and outputs needed.
