[BC] SG to BT switcher

I did this with a Sigma video audio switcher that I got a Ebay several years 
back... 12 in, 1 out... I've got 2 x SGII's with a total of three audio 
cards that don't go direct to the automation system, but I did want them on 
the board. Port B left audio goes to switcher channel 1, Port B right audio 
to channel 2, Port C Left to channel 3, etc. Then the switcher feeds the 
studio board and only takes up one channel.

Works great for various WWI sports channels, CNN Newslink, stuff that I want 
access to, but rarely use. Doesn't tie up a bunch of channels on the board.

The switchers ran me around $100 on EBay, if I remember right. I got a mono 
and a stereo. Search up "video switcher", then just use the audio portion.

NOTE: these are manual switches... nothing electronic about them, your 
automation won't switch them. You push the button.
