Section 1

System Overview

1-1. Digital Routing Switcher System

The system consists of the following units.

.Routing Switcher

(DVS-V1616/V3232B/V6464B/A3232/TC3232/RS1616, BVS-V3232/A3232, HDS-V3232)

It switches signals according to the command from the remote control unit. Varied switchers are available for different types of signals used (serial digital video, digital audio, time code, RS-422A,

etc.)

.Remote Control Unit (BKS-R1601/R3202/R3203/R3204/R3205/R3206/R1607/R1608/R3209/R3210/R3216/R1617/R3219/ R3280/R3281)

It switches signals and displays the name of the selected signal.

. Control Terminal

It sets the configuration and operation of the router system. It monitors the system in operation and displays the messages.

A unique control protocol called S-BUS (Sony serial bus) is used for controlling the switcher system. With this protocol, all control signals are transmitted by using one 75 Zcoaxial cable. The transmission path is called the ???S-BUS data link???. Units on the S-BUS data links transmit data through time-divided bi-directional communication.

Other than the S-BUS, the 9-pin remote control for RS-422A can also be used for this system. But the system will function best when the S-BUS control is used. For DVS-V3232B/V6464B and HDS-V3232, both protocols can be used together.

With cascade connection, several sets of routing switchers of DVS-V6464B/V6464M can be connected together to expand the input/output matrix size. The inputs and outputs of DVS-V6464M can be expand- ed up to 1024.

To operate this system, specified settings (making of table data) must be previously carried out using the control terminal.

1-1. Digital Routing Switcher System

Software Versions

This manual is intended for systems consisting mainly of the DVS-V3232B/V6464B digital video routing switchers and units loading the following software versions and above.

When units other than these are used, some terminal displays will be different and some functions cannot be used. Therefore, please contact to Sony???s service organization to upgrade the version of your software.

n

1-2-1. Specifications and functions of control port

The DVS-V3232B/V6464B and HDS-V3232 digital video routing switcher is equipped with four kinds of remote ports REMOTE 1 (S-BUS), REMOTE 2 (9-pin), REMOTE 3 (25-pin), and REMOTE 4 (monitor S-BUS). Other switchers are equipped with three kinds of remote ports excluding REMOTE 4.

The specifications and functions of the control ports are as follows.

*1: The specifications of BKPF-R70. When BKPF-R70 is used, termination resistors are necessary at both ends of the cable. The cable cannot be checked for open circuit.

*2: Known before as switcher protocol.

1-2. System Control

REMOTE 3 D-sub 25-pin (MODEM side pin arrangement)

consists of switchers, remote control units, display units, etc.

To control the monitor S-BUS, the optional monitor board BKDS-V3292B is required.

n

The protocols of REMOTE 2 are selected using the control terminal connected to REMOTE 3.

*1: The transfer speed of BKPF-R70 is 38400 bps.

1-2. System Control

1-2-2. S-BUS control

The S-BUS control is a remote control system. It has a simple connection structure and provides highly efficient communication. Multiple routing switchers and remote control units are connected to a single bus line to form a control network called the S-BUS data link. The units on this S-BUS data link commu- nicate with each other using the S-BUS protocol, select the necessary data from the control data transmit- ted through the data link, and operate according to the data.

The routing switchers on the S-BUS data link are designated to a primary station which controls the whole system (only one unit is set as this) and secondary stations. The primary station receives the instructions from the secondary stations and makes adjustments for smooth communication. It also constantly monitors the system and detects communication errors and problems. In addition to adjusting and controlling communication, the primary station also switch crosspoints as another switcher does. The S-BUS line is connected via the REMOTE 1 connector. Up to one line can be connected for BKPF- 300/301/350/351, two lines for DVS-V1616, three lines for DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232, and four lines for other switchers. Always terminate unused connectors with 75 Z.

Features of S-BUS control system

The main features of the S-BUS control are as follows.

. LAN type control signal communication using one 75 Zcoaxial cable (S-BUS line).

. The coaxial cable can be extended to 500 m. (BELDEN 8281 cable or equivalent)

. The primary station can control up to 254 units (including the primary station)*1 of routing switchers and remote control units using multiple S-BUS lines.

.Up to 128 units of routing switchers and remote control units can be connected to one S-BUS line. Without stopping the system, the switchers and remote control units can be connected to the S-BUS line or removed from it.

.The self-diagnosis results of the system can be monitored with the control terminal connected to the primary station.

Basic configuration of S-BUS control

S-BUS control is configured as follows.

*1 : When one of the BKPF-300 series is set in a primary station, it can control up to 30 units (including the primary station).

*2 : It means a switcher which is set the M/S switch on CPU board to ???M??? position. In the case of BKPF-R70, the switch is set to ???P??? position.

*3 : It means a switcher which is set the M/S switch on CPU board to ???S??? position.

1-2. System Control

Example of S-BUS control system connection

Either one of the REMOTE 1 connectors of the secondary station routing switchers can be used. *1: The function switch will be not working in the terminal mode of the Windows 95/NT.

*2: (M) and (S) mean the setting of M/S switch on the CPU board.

*3: Connect the 75 Zterminators to the T type bridge of the last device on a S-BUS data link and to the unused REMOTE 1 connector.

1-2. System Control

1-2-3. 9-pin remote control

The Sony digital routing switcher can be controlled from external control units connected to the RE- MOTE 2 (D-sub 9-pin) using RS-422A. For DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232, the functions performed by 9-pin remote control, can especially be upgraded to a great extent. The following three kinds of 9-pin remote protocols can be used.

. Sony production switcher protocol

. Sony audio mixer protocol

. Sony cart protocol

n

The protocol that can be used depends on the models (refer to Section 1-2-1).

BKPF-R70 is controlled by Sony cart protocol only.

The DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232 can be switched between the ???direct mode??? in which they are controlled directly and to the ???S-BUS conversion mode??? in which cart protocol commands are converted to the S-BUS protocols.

In the direct mode, the switchers can be controlled individually. In the S-BUS conversion mode, up to 254 switchers on the S-BUS line (including the primary station) can be controlled.

For DVS-V3232B/V6464B/V1616/A3232 and HDS-V3232, the S-BUS and 9-pin remote control lines are connected to REMOTE 1 and 2 respectively and can be switched freely. Other switchers can be connected to either control line.

m

1.In the direct mode, the protect and secret functions set on the S-BUS protocol are not avail able.

2.In the S-BUS conversion mode, the ???UA2??? data specified by the cart protocol will be converted to the level values on S-BUS protocol.

In this mode, the protect and secret functions set on S-BUS protocol are available. (However, these functions cannot be set on the 9-pin remote control and the contents of the setting cannot be checked, either.)

3.The number of input/output signals that can be controlled on each protocol is as follows.

4.When several DVS-V6464Bs are connected in a cascade and the input bus number is in creased, if controlled by the 9-pin remote, there is the case no signal is output.

To avoid such case, use the S-BUS conversion mode.

*1 : There are two kinds of cart protocol due to the control area.

Unless otherwise noted, ???cart protocol??? in this manual mean the cart plus protocol.

REMOTE 3 connector of BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232 is D-sub 9-pin connector.

When BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is set to the primary station, connect the control terminal to the unit by using the RS-232C cross cable.

The control terminal is not able to connect to the system which primary station is set to BKPF-300 series.

1-2-5. Control of monitor S-BUS system

DVS-V3232B/V6464B is able to monitor all the input and output signals when the optional monitor board BKDS-V3292B is installed, whose CPU is used exclusively for monitoring. It forms a monitor S- BUS data link via the REMOTE4 connector.

In this manual, the monitor control line is called ???monitor S-BUS??? to distinguish it from the control line of the main S-BUS using for changing crosspoints. The main S-BUS is called ???standard S-BUS??? or simply ???S-BUS???. Excluding the system control, the monitor S-BUS has exactly the same protocol and communication format as that of the standard S-BUS.

The input monitor and output monitor can be either used separately or combined. They can be also connected in cascade. As the crosspoint control of the monitor is performed separately from the standard S-BUS control system, a primary station for the monitor S-BUS must be designated in addition to that set for the standard S-BUS.

The configuration of the monitor S-BUS is set with the control terminal connected to the primary station on the standard S-BUS.

2-5. Number of Units

2-2. Built-in Controller

The Sony digital routing switcher incorporates a system controller and therefore does not require a separate external controller. When several routing switchers are connected to the S-BUS, the CPU of the switcher set as the primary station will control the whole system.

2-3. Matrix Sizes

By the cascade connection, input and output signals can be expanded to form a large-scale of router system.

Maximum matrix sizes depend on the kind of switchers.

. DVS-V6464B : 512 inputs x512 outputs

. DVS-A3232 : 256 inputs x256 outputs

. DVS-TC3232 : 256 inputs x256 outputs

. DVS-RS1616 : 128 inputs x128 outputs (at 16 mode) 256 inputs x256 outputs (at 32 mode)

. BKPF-300/350 : 112 inputs x2 outputs

. BKPF-301/351 : 32 inputs x2 outputs (BKPF-301), 1 output (BKPF-351)

n

DVS-V1616/V3232B, HDS-V3232 and BVS-V3232/A3232 are not able to connect by the cascade.

2-4. Number of Levels

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 RS-422A remote control signal. These signals are switched by their exclusive switchers. The signals that perform switching are allocated in the different layers. These layers are called levels.

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].

2-5. Number of Units

Up to 128 remote control units and switchers can be connected to one S-BUS line. It is possible to control up to 254 units (including the primary station) in total of all lines.

2-6. Protect Function

2-7. Secret Function

2-8. Crosspoint Disable Setting Function (DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

2-9. Password Function (DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

2-6. Protect Function

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].

2-7. Secret Function

Function which ???hides??? certain sources from all control units to protect the crosspoint set so that it cannot be switched.

Unlike the protect function that limits the destinations, the secret function limits the sources to protect them from being selected by other control units.

The secret function can be set in the menu item [D: SET SOURCE NAME].

2-8. Crosspoint Disable Setting Function (DVS-V3232B/V6464B,

BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

Function that limits the sources that can be selected for each destination. It can also be used to fix the area of crosspoints selected so that only certain sources can be selected for certain destinations. This function can be only used when a DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is assigned as the primary station.

This function can be set in the menu item [M: SET INHIBIT TABLE].

2-9. Password Function

(DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

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].

2-10. Setting the Input/Output Name (DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

2-10. Setting the Input/Output Name

(DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

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 DVS-V6464B, it is 1 to 64. For a DVS-V3232B, it is 1 to 32. The difference between the physical number and connector number is that the connector number is used for each switcher frame, while the physical number is used for one router system that is either single frame or multiple cascading frames. Usually the physical number is used for the S-BUS control system, while the connector number is used for the RS-422A (9-pin remote) control system.

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

2-10. Setting the Input/Output Name (DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

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

2-11. Virtual Mapping Function (DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

2-11. Virtual Mapping Function

(DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

Several routing switchers can be mapped on a virtual matrix with 512 inputs and 512 outputs in router system. The matrix of one switcher can be also divided into several virtual levels and mapped.

For example, a switcher handling the 4:2:2 video signal and a switcher handling the 4 fsc video signal can be mapped on the same level. By connecting them using a 4:2:2/4 fsc converter, the tie line control can be performed (refer to Section 2-14).

DVS-A3232 has two modes such as 2-channel mode and 4-channel mode. Normally, either one will be selected. However it is possible to use the overlapping area as the 4-channel mode by dividing the matrix into two in the 2-channel mode and assigning them to the different virtual levels.

In the figure below, the 12 x12 area where the level 2 and level 3 is overlapping is set to the 4 -channel mode while the other is set to the 2-channel mode in the 20 x20 area.

Mapping to LEVEL-3 (1 to 12)

: 2-channel mode

: 4-channel mode

It is called ???Virtual mapping??? that you assign crosspoints using the virtual matrices and virtual levels in this way.

This virtual mapping function can be set in the menu item [L: SET PHYSICAL ASSIGNMENT] when a DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is used as the primary station.

n

When the matrix of a DVS-V3232B/V6464B is divided into two or more matrices on multiple virtual levels, the monitor function for input/output signals may not work correctly.

2-12. Free Assignment Function (DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

2-12. Free Assignment Function

(DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

While the same input/output number can be assigned, through levels 1 to 8, for each input/output name, different physical number can also be assigned on each level for an input/output name.

The following figure shows the case that DVS-V6464B is used for level 1 and DVS-A3232 for levels 2 and 3. To source IN002, physical number 5 can be assigned on level 1, physical number 2 on level 2, and physical number 18 on level 3.

Similarly, to destination OUT004, physical number 32 can be assigned on level 1, physical number 32 on level 2, and physical number 4 on level 3.

This free assignment function can be set in the menu item [L: SET PHYSICAL ASSIGNMENT] when a DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is used as the primary station.

2-13. Monitor Function (BKDS-V3292B only)

2-13. Monitor Function (BKDS-V3292B only)

If a DVS-V3232B/V6464B is equipped with the optional BKDS-V3292B, any input/output signal can be monitored. The input and output signals can be observed on different monitors or on the same monitor by switching channels.

By connecting the monitor signals of several switchers in cascade form, all input and output signals can be observed on one monitor.

The crosspoints of monitor signals are controlled by the monitor S-BUS (the control line similar to the standard S-BUS although it controls only the monitor system).

The primary station on the monitor S-BUS is independent from the primary station on the standard S-BUS. Therefore, several monitor S-BUS can be set to one system.

For example, switchers (P-2) and (P-3) in the figure on next page serve as the primary station on the monitor S-BUS independently, while the switcher (P-1) serves as the primary station on the standard S- BUS and monitor S-BUS.

1.For DVS-V3232B/V6464B routing system, the primary station on the standard S-BUS and monitor S- BUS should be the same.

However, for the monitor S-BUS which does not include the primary station on the standard S-BUS, any switcher can be assigned the primary station.

2-14. Tie Line Management

(DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

If the primary station is a DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232, by previously setting four signal paths between routing switchers, unused signal paths can be selected automatically and protected when input and output names are selected. This function is called tie line management. It is effective to share the minimum number of converters (4:2:2:/4 fsc, 4 fsc/4:2:2, etc.).

For example, if both a 4:2:2 video switcher and a 4 fsc video switcher have 32 sources and destinations, the converters can be shared using the tie line function and all sources and destinations can be handled with the minimum number of converters.

Setting Procedure of the Tie Line

1.Set four input/output for each source/destination*1 group.

2.Set the four cables connecting the switchers for each net groups such as ???OUT ***_IN ***???.

3.Set the path from the source group to the destination (the path consists of the selected group names)

*1 : Source means the input signal. Destination means the output signal.

2-14. Tie Line Management (DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

Operation example:

1.IN023 and OUT027 are selected from the remote control unit.

2.The CPU of the primary station detects IN023 from the source group. In the example below, the corresponding group is S002.

3.Like for IN023, the CPU also detects OUT027. The corresponding group is D002.

4.The CPU of a primary station detects the path which has the S002 and D002 groups. In the following example, the corresponding path is ???3: S002-N004-D002???.

5.As N004 will be detected as the net group to be used, the CPU selects a usable element (not protect-

ed) from the four ???OUT-IN??? elements set in the N004 group, and the crosspoint is switched.

In the following example, if OUT033-IN230 is usable, the path IN023???OUT033???IN230???OUT027 will be selected.

2-15. Phantom Function

Several crosspoints can be switched simultaneously with just one push of a button of the remote control unit. This is called the phantom function.

The phantom function is set using the control terminal connected to the primary station. The crosspoints are switched by the remote control unit.

The group of crosspoints switched together is called the phantom group. Each remote control unit stores the data of 57 crosspoints as the phantom group. In addition to the phantom function, in DVS-V3232B/ V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232, the data of 4095 crosspoints is stored in the primary station as the other kind of phantom groups. In this manual, the registered phantoms in each remote control unit are referred to as ???local phantom???. Those registered in the primary station are referred to as ???global phan- tom???.

The global phantom function is available if a DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is used as the primary station.

n

The BKS-R1607/R1608/R3209/R3210 have the local phantoms of the destination offset type in addition to the ordinary local phantom, that support the various switching.

Refer to the operation manual supplied with equipment for more details.

2-16. Self-Diagnosis Function

2-16. Self-Diagnosis Function

The routing switcher performed self-diagnosis on the following items and displays the results on the control terminal connected to the primary station.

OPresence of board and its sort

OVersion of ROM on the control board

OPresence of backup power supply unit/backup CPU board

ODetection of fan rotation

ODisplay of reference signal

ODisplay of errors as follows

. Faulty crosspoint (hardware)

. Display of high temperature

. Display of S-BUS disconnection

. Display of required secondary station???s disconnection or fault

. Display of backup unit (control board or power supply unit)???s fault/recovery.

2-17. Route Function

2-17. Route Function

One of an application of Router is to expand number of Source inputs for DVS-7000 connecting with DVS-V6464B, show below.

Route function is to display a source input chasing from a last program out even performing 4 times Re- entry function with DVS-7000/DME. To display the actually selected source name, you must set the route function with the control terminal. Then when you select the crosspoint set on the route function, the source on the switcher A is searched for and the name is displayed. For example, when a crosspoint is switched on the switcher A in the figure below, normally IN5 appears as the source name. If the route function has been set, the source name selected on switcher A appears.

To activate the route function, set the destination of switcher A, destination and source of switcher B, and level. In case of the figure below, set ???OUT1 : OUT2 < IN5.???

When you use the route function, switching is possible with simple setting. For example if you select a source (IN1) for a destination (OUT1) on switcher A , the crosspoint on switcher B (IN5-OUT2) is automatically switched.

On the other hand, when you select a source (IN1) for a destination (OUT2) on switcher A, you have to set a phantom, IN1 : OUT1 < IN1 previously. Then IN1-OUT2 is displayed if the phantom; IN1 is selected.

Section 4

Setup Procedure

4-1. Outline

This setup procedure is written for the setup operator to understand the setup procedure, and more importantly, the philosophy behind the setup. Time spent now, before actually sitting down at the Setup Terminal will greatly enhance the flexibility of your router system (routing switcher system). If your system is only comprised of DVS-V****routing switchers the setup approach is much simpler, and pretty strait forward. But, if your router system is comprised of more the one type of routing switcher (AES/EBU, Analog Audio, or Video, Time Code, RS-422A Remote, etc.) it is very important that you understand what you read in this procedure before you actually start the setup procedure.

A router system with different types of routing switchers should usually be thought of as a 3 dimensional object. We will see in this procedure that in a few cases the old 2 dimensional model of a X-Y matrix switch will do. But, the most flexibility is obtained by thinking of each type of routing switcher as a separate, and distinct Z layer, or level (see figure 2).

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 S-BUS, and displayed in various diagnostic modes.

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 S-BUS data link.

Regarding steps 1 through 4, these are important steps (with step 2 being the longest, and most critical). As an introductory explanation, it should be clear that we humans like to deal in names, while the S-BUS control system deals in numbered labels, which the primary (main routing switcher frame) will translate into actual physical inputs, and outputs. Many facilities will base the mnemonics used in all documenta- tion based on the limitations imposed by routing switcher names, and display windows.

For details of setting information, refer to the Section 5.

4-2. Preliminary Information Before Installation

4-2. Preliminary Information Before Installation

The control area of each switcher when used as the primary station is as follows.

BVS-A3232

BKPF-R70

HDS-V3232

Example : DVS-V3232B and HDS-V3232 have 32 inputs and 32 outputs. But when one of them set the primary station, it can control up to 512 inputs and 512 outputs using the cascading secondary stations.

. 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 BKS-R1607, BKS-R3209 or BKS-R3210 for a mother and daughter configu- ration (combined system), it is necessary to set DVS-V3232B /V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 as the primary station.

4-3. Preparation Before Setup

4-3. Preparation Before Setup

1. Set a primary station

DVS-V6464B or DVS-V3232B is recommended as the primary station. Set M/S switch on the CPU-149 board to ???M??? position *1.

Station ID automatically will equal one. n

Set only one primary station.

If more than two are set as the primary, they will not work correctly.

2. Connect PC

Connect a IBM compatible PC with MS-DOS Ver. 6.2 to the Remote 3 on the primary, using RS-232C cross-cable with 25-pin (male) and 9-pin (female) connectors*2.

Run terminal emulation software and communicate at 9600 bps*3.

The Terminal program associated with Windows 3.1 allows the mapping of control strings to virtual function keys in the terminal program. Therefore, if your are using Windows 3.1 you can use it???s Termi- nal program. Windows 95, and Windows NT have terminal emulation programs which do not have this feature. If you are using a PC with Windows 95 or Windows NT, you must use a third party terminal emulation program that allows control strings to be mapped to keys on the keyboard (usually the F1 through F12 function keys).

3. Turn on the power

Turn on the power of all equipment connecting on the S-BUS line. n

Operation of the routing switcher may be unstable just after the power is turned on. Wait about one minute of warm-up before starting the setup.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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) pre-fix names, such as CG, VT, VTR, CAM, NET, SAT, BARS, TONE, etc.. The default mnemonics are IN for the input side, and OUT for the output side.

n

Type Name = Mnemonics

Each pre-fix type can have 1000 items associated with it (VTR000, VTR001, ....VTR999). These 16 pre- fixes you generate will be used on both the input, and output sides. What this means is that each input, or output to the routing switcher will be referred to in a ???Type +number??? format (see the examples in the upper right hand corner of figure 1.

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 :

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

(2) Assign Name Types (Menu Item [B])

Now select, and enter your 16 source and destination name pre-fixes.

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 (DVS-V****routing switcher frames), but additional types of routing switchers as well. If you only have DVS-V****type SDI routing switchers the information presented is not as critical to your operation, but should be read for background information anyway. These additional routing switchers usually are analog audio, and/or video routing switchers. Other possible routing switchers include AES/EBU, Analog Audio, Time Code, and RS-422 machine control systems. These other routing switchers are usually controlled by the SDI ???primary??? frame. This will be the case if you are using this guide for router system setup.

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 S-BUS. Your mix of control panels, and the number, and type of additional, or secondary routing switchers will determine the approach taken for ???mapping??? all the various crosspoints in the primary, and secondary routing switchers.

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 DVS-V***routing switcher output 1,

and its AES/EBU audio input connected to DVS-A3232 routing switcher output 1, and its analog audio input connected to analog audio routing switcher out 1.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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 BKS-R1607, BKS-R1608, BKS-R3209 or BKS- R3210 to control only one level of VTR001 routing.

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.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

Example : Destinations

. Satellite 1 connected to SDI routing switcher OUT 9 (SDI routing switcher given label destinations 001-032)

. DAT 1 connected to AES/EBU routing switcher OUT 9 (AES/EBU routing switcher given label destinations 033-048)

.Satellite 1 connected to Analog Audio OUT 9

(Analog audio routing switcher given label destinations 049-064)

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

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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.

A final note on figure 7.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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 ??? . . . .???.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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 BKPF-R70 is used as the primary station, all contents that have been set are cleared when ???A : /CLR-DATA/SBUS_LVG_DAT??? which is supplied with BZR-10.

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.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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 BKS-R1607/R1608/R3209/R3210 of Ver. 1.10.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

6. Decide Remote Control Units Can Be Active on the S-BUS

(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??? DVS-V3232B V2.10 STATION NUMBER 1

???

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20??? 001-020 M E E E E E E E???

021-040

n

Before this setting each secondary station has to have its ID set using the dip-switch on the back of the control panel. The primary station has ID=1, secondary stations should have ID=2 or later.

For your reference, ID-00 is the test number, and ID-255 is the global number. Be noted that both of them cannot be used.

(2) Detection of Stations (Menu Item [Z])

If you set ??????? to a ID location in the menu item [Z], the primary station will display the corresponding model code of that location and display a warning if communication is interrupted.

m

1.This menu is used with BZR-10 to select the secondary stations for saving the data. BZR-10 uploads the data of the secondary stations only selected with the ??????? mark.

2.BZR-1000 software can not be used when ??????? mark is set on in this menu on secondary stations using this menu. Continuous ???System Event Has Occurred??? error messages will be displayed in the BZR- 1000 GUI if ??????? is set for any secondary stations.

3.Once a ??????? is entered you must exit, and re-enter this menu to see the communications result. The model code is displayed in ???????.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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 re-route serial data of one type back into the routing switcher with a limited number of converters between routing switcher out and routing switcher in. (See figure 8.)

4:2:2 Inputs

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

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.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

9. Description Name (Menu Item [J])

In addition to Type +Number names, letter names (16 letters can be displayed on the BKS-R3281, most through only display 7) can be used.

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.

4-4. Basic Setup Procedures

10. Control Panel Setup (Menu Item [R])

Each individual control panel is contacted, and programmed by selecting [R] in the setup menu, and then by entering the S-BUS address of the desired panel. If the control panels are enabled in the menu item [Z : SET UNIT DETECTABLE], this might help you identify the panels address in question. If the address for the desired panel needs further search select the menu item [X : DISPLAY S-BUS COMMUNICA- TIONS], and command a crosspoint change from the panel in question, and observe the address indicated by the S-BUS activity.

Once the menu page of the control panel is displayed select the menu item [Z : SET PANEL STATUS]. From this sub-menu you can configure which buttons on the panel are inputs or output selects. Also whether this panel operates alone or in conjunction with other panels are determined in this menu.

Next select the menu item [N : SET PANEL TABLE]. Using this sub-menu you assign input/output labels, or phantoms to the appropriate switches. (This setting is not necessary in the case of X-Y control.)

If the panel being programmed is a BKS-R3202, or a BKS-R3206 select the menu item [O : SET AVAIL- ABLE DESTINATION]. On BKS-R3202 and BKS-R3206 all sources and destinations can be selected. To limit potential operational mistakes destinations which may be controlled can be filtered.

In BKS-R3210 and BKS-R1607, a setting which limits arbitrary selection of sources is possible using

[Ctrl] _[F].

When there are several control panels with similar, or identical setups you can use the menu item [L : COPY TABLE DATA] to copy setup data from one control panel to another.

n

Use menu item [L : COPY TABLE DATA] from the panel you will copy data to!

Once you have copied the setup to a new panel you can edit that panels settings through the sub-menus as before.

This menu is used to store the connection information of the matrix in the primary station and to set the tie line for switching several crosspoints using the remote control unit button. Using this method, peripheral units such as the signal converters can be used more efficiently.

The tie line consists of four input/output connectors as one group and paths connected between sources and destina- tions. The tie line system consists of a maximum of 20 groups for sources and destinations respectively, and a maximum of 40 groups for connections, called Net groups.

Setting Procedure

Before you perform the tie line management using two or three routing switchers, you should set the unit location and the elements of the tie line as follows.

1.Set the offset of each unit on the menu screen [A : SET UNIT LOCATION] of the secondary station in order to avoid repeated input/output numbers of multiple units and locate the units on one physical level.

2.Set the elements of the tie line on the menu screen [O :

SET TIE LINE]. Select menu item [O].

The top half of the screen is for setting the source group while the bottom half is for setting the tie line path.

DIRECT ??? CONVERT RS422 (CART +) to S-BUS

Example of Setting Screen

DIRECT:

In this mode commands received using RS-422A are not converted to those for the S-BUS (REMOTE 1) and are directly used for controlling the receiving station. If this mode is selected, a protocol must be selected at the secondary station.

CONVERT RS-422 (CART +) to S-BUS

This mode converts commands received using the RS- 422A to those for the S-BUS.

n

How to use UA2 Code:

The original use of the UA2 code in the RS-422A protocol is to identify the multiple equipments which are connected by loop-through connection, and be controlled.

Each equipment is controlled by the control command with UA2 code which corresponds to the unit address of each equipment.

The UA2 code is converted to the level control command when the RS-422A commands are converted to the S-BUS levels.

The following examples show how UA2 codes are con- verted to the S-BUS level.

UA2 = 01 ??? 00000001 ??? S-BUS level 1 UA2 = 02 ??? 00000010 ??? S-BUS level 2 UA2 = 04 ??? 00000100 ??? S-BUS level 3 UA2 = 08 ??? 00001000 ??? S-BUS level 4 UA2 = 10 ??? 00010000 ??? S-BUS level 5 UA2 = 20 ??? 00100000 ??? S-BUS level 6 UA2 = 40 ??? 01000000 ??? S-BUS level 7 UA2 = 80 ??? 10000000 ??? S-BUS level 8 UA2 = FF ??? 11111111 ??? S-BUS All level

The following combinations of levels are also possible.

UA2 = 03 ??? 00000011 ??? S-BUS level 1 and 2 UA2 = 07 ??? 00000111 ??? S-BUS level 1, 2 and 3

n

The S-BUS conversion mode can be used only when the primary station is controlled by the 9-pin remote control. Therefore, use the DIRECT mode whenever a secondary station is controlled by the 9-pin remote control.

In BKS-R1607/R3210 of version V1.10 and higher, the sig- nal switching cannot be performed when the destination range that is set by SELECT SOURCE NAME is exceeded even when the destination-type offset phantom has already been set using the menu item [H]. Setting must be per- formed so that the resultant value of destination after addi- tion and subtraction of offset stays within the eight blocks of SELECT SOURCE NAME. When the offset value is zero (DST+0), the signal switching can be operated.

Example of setting :

SRC TOP-SRC END=DST TOP-DST END indicates the applicable range of the offset-type phantom on the screen of example setting. When the range from IN001 to IN008, and the range from OUT001 to OUT004 are to be set as the applicable range, enter as follows.

IN001-IN008=OUT001-OUT004

When you want execute the combinations of OUT001<IN001 and OUT002<IN002, or the combinations of OUT003<IN001 and OUT004<IN002, enter as follows.

Phantom:

IN001: DST+0<IN001-10000000

IN001: DST+1<IN002-10000000

Here, 10000000 means the level-1. The level-2 corre- sponds to 0100000.

When the above settings are performed and the buttons OUT001 and IN001 are pressed in this order, OUT001 is replaced by OUT002 with DST+1.

Then,

OUT001<IN001

OUT002<IN002

of the level-1 are switched.

When the buttons OUT003 and IN001 are pressed in this order,

OUT003<IN001

OUT004<IN001

of the level-1 are switched.

When OUT005 and IN001 are pressed, DST+0<IN001- 10000000 (i.e., OUT005<IN001) only are switched since it is outside the applicable range.

Set the phantom for IN003, IN005 and IN007 in the same way.

R : SET ROUTE (BKS-R1607/R1608/R3209/R3210/R3216/R1617/R1618/R3219/R3220/R1621)

Purpose

This is the function to display the source names that are expanded by combining the two switchers for the purpose of expanding numbers of input.

When a route is set, the source that is connected to the route destination, is automatically chased out the and the name of the source is displayed. In an example shown below, IN001 of the switcher A is displayed as the source name when OUT017 of the switcher B is selected.

It has another function as follows. When a request of switching including the expanded destination, is issued, crosspoint of the route destination side is automatically switched. For example, when IN001-OUT001 of the switcher A is switched, IN005-OUT017 of the switcher B is also switched at the same time.

Route Function

???

Example of Setting Screen

In the setting screen example as shown above, the cross- point of IN005-OUT017 is switched at the same time when a crosspoints including OUT001 (ex. IN002-OUT001) is switched. Then, source (IN002) of the switcher-A???s OUT001 is displayed (IN002-OUT017) for OUT017 of the switcher-B. The above described operation is executed by selecting OUT001 and IN002 from the remote control unit. However, it is recommended to set the phantom of IN002: OUT001 < IN002 beforehand on the remote control panel, because the operation of selecting IN002-OUT001 instead of OUT017 looks unnatural when IN002-OUT017 is going to be taken.

Setting procedure

Section 6

Confirmation of function

6-1. Outline

After the hardware and software have been set up, it is necessary to check if the system is working properly before starting the operation.

Each routing switcher is equipped with the self-diagnosis function to check the system connection and status of each unit. As soon as the power of the unit is supplied or the system is reset, this function begins operations which check internal conditions and connections automatically. When a fault is detected, this is immediately displayed via the following four methods.

1.Status indicator

2.System status screen (*)

3.Error No. indicator

4.LEDs on the boards

Moreover, the test mode and ISR function are available to find out the detail of error and cause.

This section outlines the checks performed when the system is started up, and describes error messages displayed on [2. System status screen] in detail.

For details of [1. Status indicator], [3. Error No. indicator] and ISR function, refer to the operation manual or maintenance manual provided with the unit. For [4. LEDs on the boards] and [Test mode], refer to the maintenance manual.

*: The error messages displayed in [2. System Status Screen] are valid only when the control terminal is connected to the primary station in the S-BUS control system.

6-2. Function Check Format

6-2. Function Check Format

The contents of each function and the structure of the error displays are as follows.

LED Display for Internal Information

LED displays the presence/absence of the signals and setting of the switches independently, irrespective of the self- diagnosis and test mode.

Test Mode Function

Test mode is effective for finding the causes of the error and the faulty sections which have been detected by the self-diagnosis function. It checks LEDs,switches and signal circuit using a rotary switch on CPU board.

6-5. Function Check Process

6-5. Function Check Process

After installing the hardware and software of the routing switcher system, check its functions and those of each device according to the following procedures. 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 counter-measures and reme- dies, refer to the operation manual or the maintenance manual supplied with the unit.

6-6. Function Check with Control Terminal

6-6. Function Check with Control Terminal

There are two types of display modes for operation check from control terminal, which can be selected depending upon the purpose. The first type of display mode is provided by the system status display and the other is provided by the ???W??? menu on the menu display.

The system status display shows result of self diagnostics that is performed automatically by the primary station when the main power of the system is turned on. It also shows error messages that are issued by the respective stations on the S-BUS data link in real time, enabling to use the system status display as the monitor of system operation during system run.

To check the old system status, call the menu item [W: SYSTEM STATUS LOG].

This menu takes out only the system status from the memory, and displays error messages, corresponding station and time of occurrence.

n

As the control terminal constantly checks the errors of the system, and is capable of recording/displaying these, it is extremely effective for monitoring the operations of the system. Therefore, it is recommended to connect this control terminal after completing initial settings.

6-6-1. System status screen after power on

When the power of the primary station is turned on, the results of the self-diagnosis of the primary station and the ROM checksum value, will be displayed as shown in the figure below.

If the result of the self-diagnosis is normal, ???OK??? will be displayed for this item. If errors have been detected, the corresponding item will be the reversal characters.

Be sure to terminate unused S-BUS ports with 75 Z. When a disconnection has been detected, the primary station automatically performs 75 Ztermination and restarts communication with the stations just before the disconnection. In this case, some stations may not be able to communicate even though they are connected.

Change Information on DVS-128/HDS-X3000 Series and DVS-V3232M/V6464M

7-1. Outline (DVS-128/HDS-X3000 Series)

The S-BUS protocol is extended of its virtual matrix size from 512 to 1024.

At the same time the following functions are changed.

. Number of SOURCE/DEST TYPEs is extended from 16 to 32.

. Selection of either 1024 x1024 x8 level or 1024 x512 x16 level is added.

. Number of the GLOBAL PHANTOM is reduced from 4093 to 2800.

. The multi source assignment function is added.

. Number of DESCRIPTION NAME is extended from 1024 to 2048.

. Number of the Tie Line signals is increased from 4 to 255.

In the following description, the product that supports the virtual matrix size 512 is called the S-BUS P1 type, and the product that supports the virtual matrix size 1024 is called the S-BUS P2 type.

The S-P2 has the higher compatibility with the S-P1 but has the several limitations.

The S-P2 is realized by extending the type number of the terminal name from 16 to 32, and by changing the data structure of the terminal names. The 16 types of the terminal number data that are used in the S- P1, do not have compatibility with the 32 types of terminal number data that are used in the S-P2. There- fore, the S-P2 has two types of data i.e., both the 16 type data and the 32 type data for each terminal of terminal number 1 to 512. The 16 type data needs to be used for the terminal numbers of 1 to 512 when the S-P1 UMD and the remote control panel are used in the system. The 32 type data needs to be used for the terminal numbers of 513 to 1024.

When all of the UMD and the remote control panel within the system is of the S-P2 type, the terminal numbers of 1 to 512 must be set to the 32 type data.

When use of the remote control panels of the S-P1 and S-P2 types are mixed, use of the S-P1 remote control panel is limited within the range of terminal numbers from 1 to 512. In such a case, the S-P2 remote control panel can handle the 32 type data with the terminal numbers of 513 to 1024.

Example of Initial Screen

Changed item

.[K: RESET TO DEFAULT TABLE] is deleted from the primary station screen and is moved to the secondary station screen.

When [K: RESET TO DEFAULT TABLE] is executed on the secondary station screen, the partial initialization is executed in the S-P1, but is changed so that all data including the works is reset to the

default data when shipped from the factory.

. [S: SET SOURCE ASSIGNMENT] is newly added.

. The [Ctrl] _[B] key is added as the key input to return to the initial menu (the screen when the main power is turned on.) The [Ctrl] _[B] key has the same function as the [Ctrl] _[X].

A : DISPLAY CONTROL AREA

(DVS-128/HDS-X3000 Series)

Purpose

This menu displays the control size as the primary station.

Example of Display Screen

When LEVEL: 1 to 16 on the [E: SET LEVEL TABLE] screen is set to 1, the message [SOURCE No. 0001-1024 DESTINATION No. 0001-0512 LEVEL 1-16] appears.

There are no input items or set items on this screen.

7-2. Changed Menu (Primary Station Setting Items)

B : SET SOURCE/DEST TYPE

(DVS-128/HDS-X3000 Series)

Purpose

This menu is used to set the type name of the source destination and global phantom table.

The menu makes the management of source/destination easier.

The alphanumeric characters of 4 characters or less can be used. Either 16 type data or the 32 type data can be selected for the terminal numbers of 1 to 512.

Example of Setting Screen

.Every pressing of [F1:TYPE] triggers between TYPE: 16 and TYPE: 32. Either one of the data structures of

the terminal name to be handed by the S-P1, is selected.

.When [F1] is pressed, the message [Do you change the type number? Y or N] appears. When either [Y] or [N]

is pressed, change the setting of the type number.

The terminal name from 1 to 512

. TYPE : 16 The names up to 16 types can be used. When the S-P1 type remote control panel or the UMD is used in the system, select the TYPE 16.

. TYPE : 32 The names up to 32 types can be used. When the S-P1 type remote control panel or the UMD is used in the system, the correct display or correct operation cannot be performed.

The terminal names of No. 513 to 1024 are fixed to type 32 without affected by this setting.

7-2. Changed Menu (Primary Station Setting Items)

E : SET LEVEL TABLE

(DVS-128/HDS-X3000 Series)

Purpose

Change/addition/deletion of the TIE LINE data are per- formed here.

Example of Setting Screen

To set the number, press [Enter] to be ready for number

input. Enter a number in the range of 1 to 1024. When [Enter] is pressed again, the number is set, the range is

checked and duplication of the same number with other setting is checked. Then the number is set.

If duplication of the number is found, the entered number

becomes invalid and the former number remains as it is. To delete a terminal number, press [Enter] without

inputting a numbers. Then ???....??? appears and the terminal number is deleted.

Number of the signals to be set is 254 at the maximum. Number of the TIE LINEs to be set is 16 paths at the maximum.
