2. From the Sources column, click on an encoder (source).
3. From the Displays column, click on a decoder (display).
4. Click Take. A connection is created between the selected
encoder (source) and decoder (display). Figure 10 shows that
Encoder1 is streaming media to Decoder3.
5. Repeat this procedure to create other connections as
necessary.
NOTE: To remove a connection, select a connection (from the Connections column) and click Break Connection.
To remove all connections, select a connection and click Break All Connections.
6. If audio data is present within the stream, click on the edit link located at the top right of
the Switcher page and select the Switch audio with video option (see image at right).
This keeps the audio and video data together when creating connections.
