Controller / Tributary Reassignment
Some VTRs can themselves act as controllers or tributaries. With the DM 
400B the associated ports can be configured as both inputs and outputs; this 
allows their pinouts to adjust automatically depending on which VTR is 
selected as the output (controller) and which is selected as the input (tribu-
tary). In Figure117, VTR 1 is the controlling device; accordingly it is 
selected as a switcher output in order to config
ure the switcher port cor-
rectly. The tributary VTR 2 is selected as a switcher
 input.
Figure 117. Controller-Tributary Reassignment
In Figure118, the roles are reversed. VTR 2 is the master and VTR 1 is the 
slave. The switcher ports are configured properly by selecting VTR 2 as an 
output 
and VTR 1 as an input.
