The router system has the capability to control the different types of signal at the same time. This is enabled by the level setting.
The router system can handle the signals such as video, audio, timecode and the
In the router system, the different numbers are given to the input and output signals of the respective layers that enable switching of various signals at the different levels simultaneously.
Example: Video can be set to level 1, audio to level 2, etc.
Up to eight levels can be set for one system.
The levels are set in the menu item [E : SET LEVEL TABLE].
Up to 128 remote control units and switchers can be connected to one
Function which protects the crosspoint set so that it cannot be released using other remote control units. While the protect function is on, the destination of the crosspoint to be protected will be fixed. Once the protect is set, it will not be released by any command, except those from the control terminal and the control unit used to set it. The protect function can be set and released freely from the control terminal connected to the primary station.
The control terminal also has a password function which allows only certain users to operate the system. The protect function can be set in the menu item [C: SET DESTINATION NAME].
Function which ???hides??? certain sources from all control units to protect the crosspoint set so that it cannot be switched.

This function can be set in the menu item [M: SET INHIBIT TABLE].
The control terminal can set all configuration items of the routing switcher system. It therefore has a password function which allows only certain users to operate it. The password can be set in the menu item [P: CHANGE PASSWORD].
The following names can be used for the input/output connectors of the routing switcher.
1.???Type+Number??? name
2.???Description??? name
There are altogether three kinds of numbers that can be set as input/output numbers. These are ???physical number???, ???connector number???, and ???virtual number???.
The physical number and connector number are the number of connectors attached to the switcher. For a
The virtual number is the numbers assigned when switchers are mapped on a virtual matrix with 512 inputs and 512 outputs. The numbers will not duplicate even if several switchers are mapped on the virtual matrix. Unless otherwise noted, the input/output number in this manual means the virtual number.
Virtual Matrix
The name ???Type + Num??? consists of four alphabets and three numbers. It is assigned to the virtual number. Sixteen kinds of letters can be set for the ???Type??? part. Number 1 to 999 can be used for the ???Num??? part.
Examples: CAM 234, VTR 145
The name ???Description??? consists of any 16 characters and is assigned to the virtual number, e.g. ???Tokyo??? and ???Market???. Up to 1024 kinds of names can be registered. The 160 kinds of them are transmitted to the remote control unit in order to set buttons and for displaying. The 160 names can be registered as one group. Data of 8 groups can be registered at the primary station. The data of remote control unit can be replaced by a group and the different data groups can be used for each remote control unit

Regarding detailed setup information, refer to the menus explanation in the Installation manuals chapter on setup.
What we will do in this procedure is to:
1.Identify all in/out signals, and segregate them into 16 types of sources and destinations.
2.Assign virtual inputs, and outputs a ???Type +number??? name. (numbers start at 001 and go to 512 for both source, and destinations)
3.Assign each output ???Type +number??? name to one or more levels.
4.Assign each ???Type +number??? name to an actual physical in/out location.
5.Assign any needed phantoms (also known as ???salvos???).
6.Decide which control units can be active on the
7.Decide which inputs won???t be available at selected outputs.
8.Setup any ???tie lines??? needed.
9.Assign second naming convention (if desired).
10.Setup individual control units on the

The control area of each switcher when used as the primary station is as follows.
Example :
. Be sure to set a station number for each routing switcher and remote control unit installed. Refer to the manuals of each unit for how to set the station number.
. In this manual, the input signal is called source, and the output signal destination.
.When using two or more

1. Identify all in/out signals, and segregate them into 16 types of sources and destinations
(1) Make IN/OUT list of each routing switcher
Make input/output list of each routing switcher referring to installation, or wiring diagram or other documentation showing router interconnection. Figure 1 shows an example of a 3 router system. It is composed of an SDI, AES/EBU, and a Analog routing switcher.
At this time consider the mnemonics that can be assigned to each of the inputs or outputs.
The DVS series routing switcher can accept up to 16 unique, 4 letter (maximum)
n
Type Name = Mnemonics
Each
The same name (such as VTR001) can be assigned to a input, and to an output of the routing switcher. But, a unique name can only be used once per input, and output. It is important that you consider careful- ly your naming convention now, as it will be carried throughout the rest of the setup, and will be the name displayed on control panels, and other displays. Actual Source and Destination descriptive names are decided later.
n
There is a second naming convention that can be used in place of the ???Type +number??? format.
But it is necessary to first enter names under the just mentioned format, and add the second set of names later (they do not erase the ???Type + number??? set). The second approach is called Descriptive Names. It is explained in step 9.
Example :
VIDEO ROUTER SOURCE
VIDEO ROUTER DESTINATION
Fig. 1
Name Types
(2) Assign Name Types (Menu Item [B])
Now select, and enter your 16 source and destination name
Once again, up to 16 type names used for source/destination name are decided using 4 letters (except ???;???). Set using the menu item [B : SET SOURCE/DESTINATION TYPE].
Example : CAM, VTR, CG, DVE, MON, PGM, BLK, DAT, STL, TONE, CD, ...
If a consistent display format is desired, all name types should be the same length.
2. Source/Destination names (Menu Items [C] & [D])
At this point another very important decision must be made as to how your router system is organized, programmed, and ultimately able to be used. You should take some time at this point to read, and totally understand the implications of what this step in the setup means for future routing switcher setup, opera- tion, and flexibility. How you approach this step will greatly determine the flexibility your system will afford in control panel operation, and ease of system modification.
Many router systems are not only comprised of a SDI routing switcher
These additional types of routing switchers can be thought of as ???assets??? (secondary stations) to be managed by the primary. These ???assets??? are additional crosspoints for switching analog video, or audio, time code, etc. Your method for controlling these additional crosspoints are generally though control panels attached to the
There are two general approaches that can be taken in ???mapping??? crosspoints.
Although either approach can be mutually exclusive of the other, generally a mixture of the two are used.
The first approach is called ???level mapping???. There are sources where the digital (video), and analog audio or video routing switchers should naturally follow one another (VTR???s for instance). With sources that should follow, you can use ???level mapping???, with the SDI routing switcher on level 1, and the audio analog routing switcher on level 2, etc..
Looking at figure 1, VTR001 could have:
its SDI input connected to
and its AES/EBU audio input connected to
Figure 2 shows that no two levels need to occupy the same size space in the X, and Y directions. As our example in figure 1 demonstrates, level 1 could be 32 by 32 in 2 dimensional X, Y space, while levels 2, and 3 are only 16 by 16.
Actually each level could occupy different size X, and Y space. Finally, it should be clear that Z ???depth???, is three in our case since we have 3 levels.
Levels Can occupy different size 2 dimensional space
Level 1
Level 2
Z
Fig. 2
Going back to the VTR 1 example, each of the 3 routing switcher outputs (SDI, AES/EBU, and analog audio) could be assigned to a different level, under the VTR001 label.
Whenever destination VTR001 was selected all 3 crosspoints in the 3 different routing switchers would switch together. This approach is often the simpler approach to implement, and understand, but it can limit future flexibility in operation, as we will see.
Level Mapping
Fig. 3
With this approach, you need the control terminal connected to the primary routing switcher, or a control panel that allows access to individual ???levels???, like the
Figure 4 shows this approach.
Level Approach
Fig. 4
The second approach is ???virtual mapping???. There are sources that don???t logically follow one another, looking at figure 4, you can see that News 1, and DAT 2 on the source side, Satellite 1, and DAT 1 on the destination side are just 2 of many that wouldn???t normally be switched together. In this case the approach shown in figure 5 could be used.

A pure virtual mapping approach would keep all destinations on 1 virtual level (although physically there is still 3 levels) as figure 5 shows.
Example : Destinations
. Satellite 1 connected to SDI routing switcher OUT 9 (SDI routing switcher given label destinations
. DAT 1 connected to AES/EBU routing switcher OUT 9 (AES/EBU routing switcher given label destinations
.Satellite 1 connected to Analog Audio OUT 9
(Analog audio routing switcher given label destinations
Analog Audio Satellite 1 (Sat003) ?????????????????? virtual level 1 out label 57
If DAT001 destination is changed on a control panel only output label 41 (AES OUT 9) changes. Good in situations where few signals logically follow from one level to the next (DAT???s and cameras, Mics and CG???s, Audio Mixers and Still Stores, etc.). With this approach any sources/ destinations that should follow across multiple routing switchers would require phantoms (covered later) to implement multiple crosspoints switched.
A combination of virtual, and level mapping combines both approaches as shown in figure 6.
Level 1
Virtural and Level Mapping
Level 2
Level 3
Fig. 6
With this approach sources, and destinations like the VTR???s would be level mapped together so that all 3 routing switchers switch at the same time under the VTR001, VTR002, etc. label.
But in the case of output 11, of each of the 3 routing switchers, the 1, and 3 levels (SDI, and analog audio respectively) would be level mapped and switched together (REM001) while output 11 of level 2, which is DAT003 would be virtually mapped off away from the other 2, so that it could be easily switched on it???s own.
Example : Level 1, & level 3 outputs 11 are tied together under the REM001 label Level 2, mapped out from under level 1 output 11 under the DAT003 label
If DAT003 destination is changed on a control panel only level 2 output 11 crosspoint on the AES/EBU routing switcher changes. If REM001 destination is changed both levels 1, and 3 change. This approach is good for a mixture of signals where routing levels follow in some instances, but not always.
n
Sources/Destinations where all associated crosspoints on all levels should follow would be mapped only by levels. Sources/Destinations which shouldn???t follow would be mapped virtually.
Again, a pure level mapping approach is where all physical inputs 1, 2, etc are tied together on different levels (see figure 4).
A pure level mapping approach is usually the worst approach. In our example here DAT 3, which is on output 11 of the AES/EBU routing switcher appears as REM001 on all control, and display, panels if the level only approach is taken.
Using the virtual/level mixture approach you will get separate video, and audio tallies (control panel push button lit). As an example, (see figures 7, and 8) if you use the 2 entries from the virtual example above and assign both of them to the same control panel (on different buttons), if REM001 is selected with it???s button, the REM 1 button is tallied green. Now if DAT001 is selected with it???s button, the DAT 3 button is tallied amber, while the REM001 button remains green. The DAT001 button will stay tallied when other sources are selected as long as those sources are assigned to level 1, or 3, and not level 2.
When a button is selected with levels 1, and 2 active the DAT001 audio source button is turned off, as the primary switches both levels of crosspoints.
Conversely, if REM 1 (green tally) is selected, and DAT 3 (amber tally) is selected, and another level 2 only source is selected, say DAT 2, the DAT 3 amber tally will extinguish, and the DAT 2 button will now be tallied amber. The REM 1 green tally will remain on, unchanged.

Now select suitable names for sources/destinations using Type name, and number and enter them in the IN/OUT list of each routing switcher (menu item [C]).
Remember that you have to attention to the ins, and outs of routing switchers on all levels when you build this list.
Example :
VIDEO ROUTER SOURCE
VIDEO ROUTER DESTINATION
n
After destination (crosspoint/output) names have been set, the Protect mode may be implemented for that destination (crosspoint can???t select another input).
After source (inputs) names have been set, the Secret mode may be implemented for the source (input not selectable by control panels).
Both of these modes can be only be set, or disabled via the terminal.
3. Set Level Table (Menu Item [E])
This is the step where you assign what levels you want each name or label to be assigned to. You also assign the names of the various levels (here SDI, AES, and AUD are used).
The information entered here was derived from figure 7.
n
Delete levels not used so that these levels do not show on panels, or displays that use levels. The deleted levels are displays as ??? . . . .???.
4. Physical Assignment (Menu Item [L])
Now we actually associate the labels or names to a physical routing switcher input or output. Assign the physical source/destination number and the physical level to the virtual source/destination name and the virtual levels using the menu item [L : SET PHYSICAL ASSIGNMENT].
Again refer to figure 7.
m
1.Create a similar table for the destination side (use F5 on the terminal setup menu [L] screen to toggle between source/destination)
2.To delete an entry in menu item [L], press the [Ctrl] _[P] .
This step can be confusing because you associate the input labels with physical routing switcher inputs, along with output labels with physical outputs. You need to tell the primary which physical X row of crosspoints feeding an output belong with each output name or label, along with which physical Y column of crosspoints fed by an input belong with each input name or label. To visualize, look at figures 2, 3, or 4.
n
When
When number of items to set is smaller than number of items to clear, the procedure of clearing all items once and setting all items from the very beginning is more efficient.
Additionally, an individual routing switcher can be divided in 2, or more virtual routing switchers. This means that one level can be made to look like 2, or more levels. In our example our 3 level routing switcher could have the AES/EBU routing switcher split into 2 virtual levels.
Our 3 routing switcher system would now have 4 levels.
Why would you want to do this? If you have an AES/EBU routing switcher that handles 2 AES/EBU audio programs per digital signal, but your plant uses 4 channels, this means it takes 2 AES/EBU signals for 4 channels. As before, there would be many times that you would want to switch these together, and many times you would not. Also, in many cases you would have only one AES/EBU audio frame. Therefore, AES/EBU Channels 1/2 would arrive at one input while AES/EBU Channels 3/4 would arrive at another input of the same routing switcher. You could use phantoms (step 8) to link these inputs together when desired, or you could create 2 distinct levels for one physical routing switcher frame using menu item [L]. One level could be known as A1/2, and the second A3/4. Entries to do this might look like the examples below.
This is a good place to point out that physical crosspoint usage does not have to be in numerical order.
5. Phantoms (Menu Item [H])
Now we will create any necessary phantoms. First we must define the phantom globally, and then allow it???s usage by individual control panels. A phantom allows you to have a number of outputs select new inputs all at once.
An instance of a global in our example would be the selection of input SAT001 (SDI level and the Analog audio level) to output VTR001, and DIG201 (AES level) to output VTR001. We could call this phantom SAT999. It???s entry as a global phantom would look like this
(1) In the top of menu item [H] we would assign our name to a numbered label:
(2) Once the name is assigned we are in an edit menu, where we actually assign inputs to outputs:
Up to 4096 crosspoint changes can be stored among the Global phantoms.
For a control panel to be able to use a global phantom, that secondary station must be called (menu item [R]), and the name of the global phantom loaded into it???s phantom table. Up to 57 crosspoint *1 changes can be stored among each secondary stations (control panels) phantoms.
Local phantoms may be created in each control panel. Below is an example of a local phantom residing in a control panels phantom table :
We can see here that our global phantom SAT999 is the first entree. The 0001 that trails SAT999 means that this global phantom is the first entry in our global phantom table (menu item [H]). Next we can see that locally (only at this control panel) we have defined a local phantom called CAM999. It selects the Studio A (STU111) input, and sends it to our 4 camera return outputs (CAM001, etc.) whenever it is selected. The ??? _1??? means that level 1 (SDI) is switched.
SAT999, and CAM999 could be assigned to buttons on this control panel just like any other source, or destination name could be.
*1 : Up to 64 crosspoint changes can be stored in
6. Decide Remote Control Units Can Be Active on the
(1) Available Stations (Menu Item [F])
Make secondary stations available by setting ???E??? on the menu item [F : SET ACTIVE UNIT NUMBER. The stations that are enabled will be polled by the primary, for panel activity, and status updates.
ENABLE ACTIVE UNIT FOR STATION NUMBER???
???

n
Before this setting each secondary station has to have its ID set using the
For your reference,
(2) Detection of Stations (Menu Item [Z])

3.Once a ??????? is entered you must exit, and
7. Inhibit Crosspoint Table (Menu Item [M])
Set invalid crosspoint table for the specified crosspoints that will not be allowed to be selected by various outputs INHIBIT TABLE on the primary station.
On the table ???X??? means valid crosspoint, and ??? _??? means invalid crosspoint.
Be careful that destination cannot select a source which makes up a loop in which the destination be- comes the signal generating source in order to avoid potential operational mistake.
In the example here the output VTR001 can not select input 1 (VTR001), etc.
8. Tie Line Management (Menu Items [N] & [O])
This comes into play mainly if you have different types of serial digital data. Such as having both 4fsc, and 4:2:2 signal streams in the same routing switcher level. By using the menu item [R : CALL SEC- ONDARY STATION] you can have the primary call itself, and configure the primary to handle either standard in groups of 8 inputs, and outputs. The same can be done be calling secondary stations on the same level.
If you have both types of signal you probably need to convert from one standard to the other often. To prevent the need to have many converters, you can set up the system recursively
4:2:2 Inputs
Instead of one large routing switcher, there are often 2 separate routing switchers. One handling 4:2:2, and the other 4fsc. The output of the 4:2:2 would cascade through the 4:2:2 to 4fsc converters, and on to the inputs of the 4fsc routing switcher. The opposite configuration would be set up for going from 4fsc to 4:2:2.
What is done here is that groups of inputs are combined in a Source Name group, along with groups of outputs known as Destination Name groups. Net (Path) Groups are then created, each one being a list of routing switcher outs to routing switcher in???s to be used.
When a input in a source group is selected, or an output in a destination group, the routing switcher looks at successive paths (their order as entered in each path group) until it finds an unused one.
n
Each Source, Destination, and Net group can have up to 4 entries in it.
There can be a total of 20 Source, and 20 Destination groups.
There can be up to 40 Net groups.
Each Source and Destination group are tied together by 1 Net group.
Up to 3 routing switchers, or 2 recursive paths into 1 routing switcher can be supported.
9. Description Name (Menu Item [J])
In addition to Type +Number names, letter names (16 letters can be displayed on the
This is called a ???Description name???.
To set to Description names mode, select DESCRIP.NAME using the menu item [J : NAME STYLE]. Everytime [J] is selected in the System Setup Menu the name mode toggles between Type +Number, and Description name modes.
After [J] has been selected for the first time, go back to menu items [C] and [D] and enter the descriptive names, if desired.
n
The description name can be used repeatedly for the sources and destinations.

The process of the function check consists of three steps. The checks in step 2 and onward will be performed only when errors have been detected in step 1. If not, the checking process ends there. When errors have been displayed in step 1, except the cases that causes are found with the display contents, it is necessary to find out the faulty sections and causes by performing the checks from step 2. Countermeasures and the methods of fixing the errors are described in detail in the operation manuals and maintenance manuals provided. For the
