Section 1 — Encore System Overview

The Encore system modular design lets broadcasters and other high-quality content creators select just the level of control they need. At its most basic, the Encore system can configure and control the crosspoints of a single routing matrix, but it can be expanded to control multiple matrices.

Controlled HardwareEncore can control a wide range of Grass Valley routers including Trinix, Apex, Concerto, Acappella, 7500 WB, and 7500 NB using Ethernet. Legacy 7000 Series and Horizon routers can be serially controlled. In addition, Encore can control the popular Grass Valley Venus routers with a serial interface to a VM-3000 protocol translator. A wide range of third party routers can also be controlled through a number of supported serial inter-faces. Users can also add tally and machine control via Ethernet or serial interfaces.

Encore System Controller FrameThe two rack-unit Encore System Controller Frame supports up to two System Controller Board (SCB) modules and two power supply modules for redundancy. A standard Encore System Controller Frame is equipped with one SCB and one power supply. All modules are front removable and hot pluggable. Cooling is built into the frame so no external cooling units are required.

Multiple Encore System Controller Frames can be used to support large systems and to increase throughput by dividing tasks among the control-lers. SCBs in the same frame can be configured to control different hard-ware or to operate redundantly. An SCB in one frame can even operate redundantly with an SCB in a different frame.



Control PanelsA wide variety of hardware control panels are available that can work across the room or across the country via IP LAN/WAN connections. Many Grass Valley legacy hardware control panels can also be used with optional serial interfaces. Optional PC control panel software is also available that emulates many of these hardware panels.

The control panel operator views and selects Sources and Destinations by name and does not need to be concerned with the actual physical cabling or numbers of inputs and outputs.

Two representative Encore control panels are illustrated below.

Introduction

Encore System Control Fundamentals

Distributed Control System

The Encore system uses a distributed control networked architecture. Various Encore software components are installed on different hardware locations to perform different tasks. This design provides extraordinary system power and flexibility. Configuration files are downloaded over the network to target devices, permitting rapid configuration changes while the Encore system remains operational. User-specific system-wide access privileges can also be established to restrict system control as appropriate.

Encore Database

Information vital to Encore system operation resides in a collection of data files, collectively called the Encore database. These files model the routing matrix hardware being controlled, name input Sources and output Destina-tions, determine matrix Levels, and specify the operational capabilities of the control panels. The Encore database is created when the system is com-missioned and is typically maintained by facility engineering staff. The Encore database resides on the same PC as the Sharer.

Sharer Application

The Sharer application automatically downloads configuration informa-tion to Encore system components when they are power up or reboot. The Sharer application runs on a PC, and must be running when the Encore system is configured. The Sharer does not need to be running to sustain control panel operation. However, we recommend the Sharer application run at all times, as this makes it easier to resume configuration procedures.

CAUTION An Encore system can have only one Sharer application running on the network at any time. This is important to remember during software installa-tion, or if a notebook PC with the Sharer is moved to different locations.

Configuration PC

An Encore system is configured using a standard PC installed with the appropriate Encore software. Once configured, Encore control panels will be able to switch crosspoints on routing matrices even if the configuration PC is turned off or disconnected from the network. Typically the configu-ration PC also has the Encore Sharer application installed, but this applica-tion can reside on any PC on the network.



Sharer PC

The Sharer PC is the PC on which the Sharer is installed. Typically the con-figuration PC and Sharer PC are the same, but separate PCs can be used.

Routing Basics

TerminologyArea - An Area is a defined group of Sources and Destinations. Takes are restricted to connecting Sources and Destinations within the same Area (unless Tie-Lines are used). Defining multiple Areas makes it possible to assign the same easily identifiable Source and Destination names (like VTR_1, VTR_2) for use by different devices at different locations in the facility.

Breakaway - A Take operation that switches a Source on at least one Level that is different from the Sources selected on the other Levels.

Channel - The communication path used to control the crosspoint group by the Router Control Engine over a selected protocol such as Serial or Ethernet paths.

Chop - A variation of a Take command that alternately connects each of two different Sources to a single Destination (flip-flopping) at a designated switching rate (the chop rate).

Note Encore 1.7.4 and earlier software does not support the Chop feature.

Crosspoint - An electronic switch that allows a signal to pass from an input to an output when the switch is closed.

Destination - The location to which Source signals are routed. A Destination may include one or more outputs across multiple Levels.

Exclusion Set - User-determined set of items excluded from control by a par-ticular control panel. Exclusion sets can be created for Areas, Destinations, Levels, or Salvos. An exclusion set may be shared by more than one panel.

Flag - A parameter that can be set in a control panel template to control how a panel operates.

Level - A grouping of signals of a particular type, such as digital video, audio right, audio left, Red, Green, or Blue, etc. This grouping becomes an independently controllable stratum of signals within a routing system.

Matrix - A configuration of potentially intersecting inputs and outputs. In routing switchers, a matrix is signal switching hardware configured such that any input may be switched to any output.


Routing Basics

Preset - Selecting an item (for example a Source or Destination) in prepara-tion for an action.

Protect - A control function that prevents control panels or devices from changing the current Source selection for the specified Destination.

Salvo - A named, system-wide preset which, when executed, can change crosspoints on multiple Destinations at the same time.

Source - An input signal or collection of input signals generally associated with a particular device (like a VTR or DDR). A Source may contain signals from multiple Levels.

Take - The direct, immediate switching of a different Source to a Destination. The Take occurs during the vertical interval for a clean transition.

Template - A set of parameters that can be applied to a control panel’s con-figuration. The same template can be applied to multiple panels.

Tally - A status acknowledgment returned to a control panel or terminal that an operation has been executed. Typically this will light up a button, but a Tally may report text (for example a Source name).

Tie-Line - A system tie-line is a physical connection used to give a Destina-tion connected to the output of one matrix access to Sources connected to the input of another matrix. A signal which passes through two or more matrices; more specifically the path (consisting of one or more Tie Wires) which links a Destination of one matrix to a Source of another matrix. A local tie-line is a special type that has Sources and Destinations in the same matrix, usually sending the signal out of the matrix for external processing.

Matrix Crosspoints and Levels DescriptionEach router matrix can be broken down into a number of switching matrices. A single switching matrix controls the switching (or routing) of a particular type of electrical signal (e.g. digital video, analog video, audio, data, etc.). These different signal formats are referred to as Levels. When a connection is made, a path is formed between a unique Source (logical grouping of physical inputs) and a unique Destination (logical grouping of physical outputs). The physical connection is accomplished using cros-spoint circuitry. Figure 9 illustrates how a single switching matrix operates.



Figure 9. A Single Switching Matrix

Outputs

8053

_15_

r0

Inputs0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

0123456789

Any of the 10 inputs (numbered 0 to 9) can be routed to any of the 10 outputs (numbered 0 to 9). One input can also be routed to more than one output. All the possible routes are represented by the intersections of the horizontal and vertical lines in the illustration. The points where the lines meet (crosspoints) can be thought of as switches that allow the inputs to be connected to the outputs. In this example, three crosspoints are on (as indi-cated by the X symbols), and the following routes are made:

• Input 2 is routed to Output 1 and Output 4.

• Input 7 is routed to Output 6.

Sources and Destinations DescriptionSources consist of input signals to the router, and Destinations are output signals from the router. An individual Source or Destination may contain more than one signal. For example, a Source may consist of a video and a key signal; be separate Red, Green, and Blue video signals; or have a video signal and several associated audio signals. Each signal type is considered a Level. In general, a Source and Destination need to be configured with same number and type of Levels in order for Takes connecting them to be successful.

Tie-Line DescriptionTie-lines can be used to link different matrices, allowing Sources in one matrix to be routed to Destinations in another matrix. Each tie-line has a Source Name and a Destination Name that defines the signal path. A tie-line Source is actually a Destination of the first matrix, and the tie-line Des-tination is a Source of the second matrix. Routes that employ more than one tie-line are called multi-hop tie-lines (Figure 12).

Section 2Control Panels Overview

Control Panel Hardware TypesAn Encore system supports many types of hardware control panels, several of which were originally developed for other routing systems.

Encore Control Panels• Paging Multi-Bus (PMB)

• Forty-Eight Button (48B)

• Button-Per-Source (BPS)

• XY Panel (XY)

• Universal Control Panel (ENC-UCP)

• Client Control Panel (ENC-CLNT)

SMS 7000 Control Panels• Eight Destination Paging (EDP)

• 48 Button-Per-Source (P48)

• Universal (UCP)

• Programmable Multibus 8 (MB8)

• Programmable Multibus 4 (MB4)

• 32 Button-Per-Source (P32)

• PXY Panel Group (PXS, PXD, PXYE)

• Simple Control Panel (SCP)

Note Legacy MCO and COS panels and a custom RIB interface are also supported by Encore 1.7.3 and newer software. These are not widely used and are not described in this manual.


Section 2 — Control Panels Overview

Kalypso Remote Aux Panels• KAL-32AUX1

• KAL-32AUX2

Acappella Control Panels• Several different hardware models, ranging from 16x16 to 8x1

Soft PanelsBesides hardware control panels, software emulations of control panels are also available. Soft Panels are virtual versions of physical control panels that can run on PCs connected to an Encore network. Soft Panels feature a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that represents the various specific panel types supported. Once configured, each Soft Panel type operates the same as the corresponding hardware panel. Soft Panels are sold separately from the Encore system and are individually licensed.

See the separate Encore Soft Panels Instruction Manual for more information.

Control Panel Communications InterfacesEncore, Acappella, and Kalypso panels use Ethernet and require the use of Ethernet switches and Cat 5 Ethernet cabling.

SMS 7000 control panels use Global Serial Channel (GSC) communications, and require installation of a GSC mezzanine in the Encore System Con-troller and 75 Ohm coaxial cabling for operation.

Refer to the separate Encore Installation and Service Manual for more infor-mation.

Control Panel SoftwareEncore control panels ship from the factory with Encore software installed and will be ready for network and operational configuration. You may need to update Encore control panel software to the latest version, how-ever, particularly if you use previously purchased Encore panels with your Encore system.


Control Panel Configuration

Control panels developed for other systems will need to have their soft-ware updated for use with Encore. These panels can then be configured using the Encore system OUI.

This manual, intended for operators, assumes the control panels being used have already been updated with the correct software and configured for operation. Software installation and upgrade procedures for specific Encore software releases are covered in the separate Encore Release Notes. Control panel configuration procedures are covered in the separate Encore Configuration Manual.

Control Panel ConfigurationThe configuration of a particular control panel defines how that panel behaves. For example, the panel configuration determines which Destina-tions and Levels a panel can control, which buttons perform which func-tions, and how the control panel accomplishes other operations.

Template files are available that can be used as a starting point for panel configuration. When a new control panel is added to an Encore system, it automatically receives configuration information from a default template for that type of panel. This configuration can then be saved with the name of that panel, and be modified to change the behavior of that panel. That configuration is then used by that control panel, unless it is modified or a different template file is loaded to that panel.

Some operations described in this manual may be limited by system or panel configuration constraints. Refer to the Encore Configuration Manual for system and control panel configuration instructions.

Control Panel Defaults (Factory and Facility)Encore systems ship with factory default control panel templates. This allows a control panel to be taken out of its box and used immediately.

Encore systems support different control panel default templates. The factory defaults cannot be edited by the user. Custom templates can be created for each type of panel, and you can specify these defaults are to be used when a new panel of that type is added to the Encore system.

Note Different Encore software versions may have factory panel default files with different settings, resulting in different behavior for new panels added to a system, depending on the version of Encore software being run.



Factory Default Templates and AreasControl panel factory defaults are based upon the default Area (Area 1) configuration. Areas create hierarchies within the Encore Control System which makes it easier to group Sources and Destinations in a large system. The default Area is where control panels find their defaults. If Area 1 has been configured with Sources, Destinations, and Levels, then the control panels will operate using the Area 1 defaults. Once an Area is defined, an Area prefix is automatically assigned to each Source and Destination in the Area by the router engine. The Area prefix is part of the system name and can be displayed on certain panels. Typically, in most installations, a single Area is used.

If multiple Areas are used at a facility, some or all of the control panels may need to be re-configured before they can be used.

Control Panel Sign On Error MessagesAn Encore system Control Panel displays an error message if it fails to sign on to the Panel Server. These messages include:

• DUP_NAME - Duplicate name

• MAX_PNLS - Panel exceeds the maximum number

• UNKN_PNL - Unknown panel type

• SERV_ERR - Internal Server Error. The Panel Server failed to register the panel.

• OUI_EDIT - Same panel name is being edited in OUI

• PNL_NAME – Panel name length more than 8 characters

• NO_LICNS – None or insufficient licenses (Soft Panel only)

Control Panel Basic Functions

Protect and LockIn general, the Protect function (enabled/disabled during panel configura-tion) locks the Source selections for all the Levels of a Destination. When a Destination has been Protected by a panel, other panels in the facility will not be able to change that Destination’s Source selections (unless that other panel has been configured with a Protect Override). The panel which initi-ated the Protect can still be used to change Sources for a Destination that panel has protected, and that panel can also remove the protection from that Destination.



There are actually several different Protect and related Lock parameters that provide different capabilities that interact with each other. These include Hard Lock, Soft Lock, and Lock/Protect Override. The actual behavior of a specific panel depends on the setting of these parameters.

Refer to Section 8-Panel Operation Variations and the separate Encore Config-uration Manual for more information.

Salvos ExcludedSalvos can switch multiple Sources to multiple Destinations with a single button press. Default Encore panel configurations exclude all Salvos, to prevent accidentally changing multiple crosspoints on an existing Encore system when a new panel is installed.

The default setting for Encore control system panels excludes all Salvos. To use Salvos with a control panel, its configuration must be edited and re-loaded to that panel.

An AllSvos Salvo Set is available with v1.8.0 and newer Encore software that can make all Salvos available on a panel (hardware, Soft Panels, or RCL Cli-ents). With this setting selected, newly created Salvos are automatically added to this list, so a panel with this setting will always be able to execute any system Salvo.

Refer to the separate Encore Configuration Manual for specific instructions.

CAUTION Be sure you understand what a Salvo will do before you use it, and only fire a Salvo when it is appropriate to do so. Changing multiple Destinations with a Salvo can have far-reaching consequences, including possibly disrupting on-air operations.

ChopThe Chop feature allows two sources to be switched rapidly on a Destina-tion. The switching occurs between the current Source taken to that Desti-nation and a new Source selected for the Chop. This feature is useful for signal timing, camera matching etc.

The following matrices support the Encore Chop feature:

• Concerto (video only)

• Trinix (video only)

• Acappella (video only)

• 7500WB



Chop is performed on a Level by Level basis, which means Breakaway Chop is available. Encore Level formats that support Chop for the above matrices are:

• Any (*)

• Composite (V)

• Component (C)

• Dig Video (D)

• SDi+Audio (E)

• Key (K)

Note Audio, Timecode, Data, and Other Levels do not support Chop.

All Encore system Control Panels support Chop except the CLNT/SVR and MCO/COS custom panels.

Chop Configuration

Encore system Control Panels need to be configured with Chop function-ality, using the Encore Control Panel Server OUI. Chop is activated on a Control Panel by making sure the Chop Lock flag is OFF (indicator is gray) in the Configuration Attributes and Flags menu and saving that configura-tion.

The rate at which the Sources will be switched during Chop is specified using the Encore Router Controller Application, by going to the Options menu and clicking on Chop Switch Rate. The valid range is 15 - 100 frames.

Refer to the separate Encore Configuration Manual for specific information.

Control Panel Chop Operation

1. Select the Destination for control that you wish to Chop. It cannot be Protected.

2. Press the Chop button so it illuminates.

3. Select an alternate Source from the same Area. That new Source and the original Source will be switched to that Destination at the specified switch rate, and CHOPPING will be reported on panels equipped with displays. On panels with dedicated Source buttons the button of the original Source will be high tally and the button of the chopping Source will blink (if the Flashing LED Indication flag is applied to the panel).

Note When Chop is active, selecting a different Source for that Destination on that Control Panel will Chop between that new Source and the original Source.



4. Press the illuminated Chop button to stop the Chop function. The original Source will be restored.

Take commands issued to a currently chopping Destination from any Panel stops the Chop function, and Takes that new Source to that Destination.

Chop Protect

A chopping Destination can be protected. Once protected, a chopping Des-tination must be unprotected before the Chop can be stopped.

Chop Limitations

The Chop feature Control Panel button tally correctly identifies the sources only on the local panel that initiated the Chop. The button for the original source will be high tally and the alternate chopping Source will blink (if the Flashing LED Indication flag is on that panel). A different Control Panel assigned to that Destination will report Chopping on its menu (if present) but will not blink the alternate Source’s button.

Changes made to Chop activity are not propagated across the Encore system. An unprotected chopping Destination can be altered to Chop to another source by a different Control Panel. If this occurs, the buttons on the panel that initiated the changed chopping Source will tally correctly, but the original panel will continue to blink the previous chopping Source (it will not change its tally status to reflect the new Source).

Control Panel Shift FunctionsShifted button functionality is available on all Encore system Control Panels except ENC-CLNT, SMS-CLNT, SMS-COS, SMS-MCO, and SMS-SVR. This feature allows a doubling of the number of functions available on a panel. For example, a BPS32 panel can be configured to access 64 Sources.

Shift Configuration

You will need to define the shifted button functions and add a Shift button to the panel’s configuration, using the Control Panel Server. Once config-ured, the Shift button goes high tally when the panel is in the shifted oper-ating mode.

Shift Operation

1. Press the Shift button on the panel so it is illuminated.

2. Press any button configured with a Shifted function. That function will immediately be performed.



Destination Ganging

Background

Destination Ganging has been available for Encore 48B and JEP-100 Control Panels, as briefly described below.

• On 48B panels, holding down one Destination button and pressing and releasing others would Gang those Destinations, allowing Takes of the same Source to multiple Destinations with one button press. Selecting a Destination without holding down a button cancelled the Gang. This method can be considered Dest Ganging Option 1.

• On the JEP-100 Control panel, a front panel configuration setting could be used to activate Destination Ganging, at which time Destination buttons could be toggled on and off to add or remove them from a Gang. This can be considered Dest Ganging Option 2.

Destination Ganging Configuration for v1.8.0 Software

With Encore v1.8.0 and newer software, Destination Ganging functionality is added to the Encore BPS, SMS P32, P48, & PXS, and KMD & KSD Control Panels. Ganging Option 1 and Option 2 are both available on all these Control Panels, and on the Encore 48B panel. Option 2 Ganging becomes available on the Soft Panel equivalents for these panels, and continues to be available on the JEP-100 Control Panel.

If a hardware panel is configured with a Shift button, Ganging Option 1 is automatically disabled and only Ganging Option 2 will be supported. Because both the Shift and Ganging Option 1 features employ a button hold-down technique, they cannot both be active at the same time

Control panels that support both Destination Ganging options are config-ured with the Dest Ganging Option 2 flag, using the Encore Control Panel Server OUI. Refer to the separate Encore Configuration Manual for specific information.

Destination Ganging Operation

Ganging Option 1

1. Press and hold down a Destination button on the Control Panel.

2. Press and release other Destination buttons. They will illuminate, indicating they are included in the Gang. These buttons will blink if the Ganged Destinations currently route different Sources, and will be high tally if they all currently route the same Source.

3. Choose a Source. That source will be Taken to all the Destinations in the Gang.



Ganging Option 2

1. Toggle on the Destination buttons you wish to have in the Gang. Touching a Ganged Destination button removes it from the Gang.

2. Choose a Source. That source will be Taken to all the Destinations in the Gang.

Breakaway Takes and Ganging

Destination Ganging operations are applied to the currently enabled Levels, so breakaway Ganged Takes are supported.

Protect and Ganging• If a Protect or Lock is active on the primary ganged Destination,

attempts to create a Destination Gang will be ignored.

• If a Protect or Lock is active on an additional Destination, that destina-tion will not be added to the Gang.

• Protect or Lock conditions can also be applied (or removed) to all the destinations in a Gang.

Secondary Keypad Set

The Keypad is initially assigned the Default Keypad Sets, with the Primary keypad set active. To access the Secondary keypad set, press the Shift func-tion button.

Default panel configurations have the Chop feature inactive.

Taking a Source to a Destination (PMB Panel)The Take operation connects an incoming Source to an outgoing Destina-tion. The PMB panel is able to control multiple Destinations (statuses for



eight Destinations are displayed simultaneously). You will choose which Destination you wish to change, preset the desired Source, and then perform the Take.

1. If the desired Destination is not already shown in one of the eight Status displays on the right, load that Destination to a status display.

a. Press the Dest/ID button to enter Destination mode.

b. Assign the desired Destination to the Preset display. You can either:

• Use the Prev or Next buttons (holding down the button to scroll), or,

• Enter the prefix and suffix with the keypad (if the panel config-uration supports this operation). With a prefix selected, you can use the Prev and Next buttons to scroll through the available items with that prefix, or you can use the keypad to enter suffix num-bers. The CE/Clear button is used to incrementally clear keypad entries.

c. Load that preset Destination to one of the Status displays on the right by pressing the Take/Load button for that display. These buttons are illuminated (and active) only when Preset has a valid item.

Note A panel’s configuration may exclude control of some Destinations or Levels. Excluded items will not be selectable in the Preset display.

2. Select the desired Source in the Preset display.

a. Press the Src button to enter Source mode.

b. Assign the desired Source to the Preset display (use the same procedure as Step b of Taking a Source to a Destination (PMB Panel) on page 35).

3. Press the Take/Load button on the Status display on the right for that Destination to take that preset Source. The name of the new Source will be displayed in that Destination’s status display.

Note If Destination and/or Source pages have been configured, the Dest Page and Src Page buttons can be used to browse successive groups of eight items.

Breakaway Take (PMB Panel)A breakaway Take switches Sources on only some Destination Levels, leaving the other Levels for that Destination unchanged. You will preset the Destination, examine the status for that Destination’s Levels, select the Level(s) to be changed, select the Source, and then Take that Source to only those Destination’s Levels.


PMB Panel

Note Destinations with active breakaways display an asterisk (*) in their Destina-tion Status displays.

1. Assign the Destination on which you wish to perform a breakaway Take to the Preset display.

a. Press the Dest/ID button to enter Destination mode.

b. Assign the desired Destination in the Preset display (use the same procedure as Step b on page 36).

2. Press the Level Page button to enter Level mode. In this mode the Status displays on the right show the status of only the preset Destination (not eight different Destinations). The current Sources of each Level for that Destination are shown.

3. Illuminate the Take/Load buttons for only the Destination Levels you wish to change by toggling these buttons on or off. At least one Level must be selected.

4. Press the Src button to enter Source mode.

5. Assign the desired Source to the Preset display (use the same procedure as Step b on page 36).

6. Press the Take/Load button on the Status display on the right for the desired Destination. The name of the new Source will be displayed in that Destination’s status display and an asterisk will indicate it has a breakaway.

Note After setting up Levels for a breakaway, subsequent Take operations will change only those Levels for any currently selected Destination, not just the preset Destination.

Note The default panel configuration retains the Levels selected for a breakaway Take for all subsequent Take operations, until the Level selections are changed or a different Destination is selected.

Level Tally (PMB Panel)When a PMB panel displays the status of eight Destinations, each Destina-tion reports only one Source. When Destinations have multiple Levels and breakaways are active, you may wish to choose which Level’s Source will be reported for each Destination.

1. Press the Level button to go to Level status selection mode.

2. Use the Prev and Next buttons to cycle through the available Levels and leave the name of the desired Level displayed.

Note If ALLLVL is selected the panel will report the Default Tally Level configured for that panel.



3. Press the Src button to return to Source mode. Now Sources for the Level you selected will be reported on the Destination Status displays.

Protect (PMB Panel)

Note With default panel configurations, only the control panel that set the Protect can unprotect that Destination. When a Protect has been set, the Prot button on the panel that set the Protect will blink, and the Prot buttons on other panels accessing that Destination will be illuminated without blinking.

Note Pressing and holding a steadily illuminated Prot button on a panel with a text display will report the name of the panel that set the Protect.

To Protect a Destination

1. If the desired Destination is not already shown in one of the eight Status displays on the right, load that Destination to a status display (use the same procedure as Step 1 on page 36).

2. Press the Prot button located to the right of the Status display for the Destination you wish to Protect. The Prot button will blink on that panel. The Prot buttons will also illuminate steadily on all other Encore panels in your system with that Destination selected, indicating it is protected.

To Unprotect a Destination

1. If the desired Destination is not already shown in one of the eight Status displays on the right, load that Destination to a status display (use the same procedure as Step 1 on page 36).

2. Toggle the blinking Prot button so it is no longer illuminated.

Note PMB panels do not report Protects for Destinations not currently assigned to the Status displays. Care should be taken to relinquish all unneeded Protects before changing Destinations on these panels. You should also remember to free up all Destinations no longer requiring protection before you leave the vicinity of the PMB panel.

Salvo (PMB Panel)When a PMB panel has been configured with Salvo capabilities, you will be able to select a Salvo and execute it.


PMB Panel

CAUTION Be sure you understand exactly what a Salvo will do before you use it, and only fire a Salvo when it is appropriate to do so. Changing multiple Destina-tions with a Salvo can have far-reaching consequences, including possibly disrupting on-air operations.

1. Press the Salvo Pg button to enter Salvo mode. The first page of available Salvos will be displayed in the Status displays on the right.

2. If multiple pages of Salvos have been configured, use the Prev and Next buttons to move through the available pages of Salvos.

3. When the desired Salvo is displayed, press the Take/Load button on that Status display to execute the Salvo.

4. Press the Src button to return to Source mode. If Destinations involved in that Salvo are displayed, their Status displays will report their new Sources.

Dynamic Page Set CreationEncore PMB Control Panels (and also SMS EDP, MB8, and MB4 Control Panels) support Dynamic Destination Page Creation. This feature allows the user to create a new Destination Page Set using the Control Panel front panel buttons.

Dynamic Page Set Panel Configuration

The panel needs to have a Store button configured as one of its program-mable buttons. The Encore Panel Server OUI is used for panel configura-tion. Refer to the separate Encore Configuration Manual for specific instructions.

Dynamic Page Set Operation

1. Place the Control Panel in Destination Mode (by pressing the Dest button), preset a Destination you wish to use in the new Page Set (by scrolling, and assign it to a Status and Destination display on the right. The Store button will illuminate.

2. Repeat Step 1 above for all the Destinations you wish to change in that Page Set.

3. Press the Store button. A new Destination Page named DynPG(n) will be created and a new Page Set named PgSet(n) is also created that includes that new Destination Page. The new Destination Page and Page Set are also available for use on any other Control Panel supporting this feature, by configuring that panel with the Panel Server OUI.

XY Default Keypad Configuration

Status Display Reporting of Source and DestinationThe state of one Destination at a time can be reported in the XY panel status display. The display can also report Source and Destination names for the dedicated XY panel buttons.

• When a dedicated Destination selection button is pressed and released so it is illuminated, the name of the current Source for that Destination is shown in the status display.

• Holding down a dedicated Destination button displays the name of that Destination. This lets you confirm the panel’s Destination button configuration before use.

• When a non-dedicated Destination has been loaded to the Preset dis-play, pressing the Src button to go to Source mode will make the Status display report the name of the current Source for that Destination.

Taking a Source to a Destination (XY Panel)The Take operation connects an incoming Source to an outgoing Destina-tion. An XY panel can switch any Source to any Destination (provided the panel’s configuration has not excluded them from control). XY panels can also be configured with dedicated Source and Destination buttons.

Using Dedicated Destination and Source Buttons

If the XY panel has buttons dedicated for the Destination and Source you wish to connect, simply touch the Destination button so it is illuminated, then touch the desired Source button. The name of the new Source will be reported in the status display.

Switching Non-Dedicated Sources to Destinations

Destinations not mapped to XY panel buttons will need to be loaded to the preset display. You then select a Source and perform the Take.



Note A panel’s configuration may exclude control of some Destinations and Levels. Excluded items will not be selectable in the Preset display.

1. Press the Dest/ID button to enter Destination mode.

2. Assign the desired item to the Preset display. You can either:

• Use the Prev or Next buttons (holding down the button to scroll), or,

• Enter the prefix and suffix with the keypad (if the panel configura-tion supports this operation). With a prefix selected, you can use the Prev and Next buttons to scroll through the available items with that prefix, or you can use the keypad to enter suffix numbers. The CE/Clear button is used to incrementally clear keypad entries.

3. Load that Destination to preset by pressing the Take button. The name of that Destination will be reported in the display.


5. Select the desired Source on the preset display (use the same procedure as Step 2 above).

6. With the name of the desired Source displayed, press the Take button. The connection will be made and the name of the new Source will be reported in the status display.

Note If the desired Source is mapped to an XY panel button, pressing that button in Source mode with the Destination preset will simultaneously select that Source and perform the Take.

Breakaway Take (XY Panel)A breakaway Take switches Sources on only some Destination Levels, leaving the other Levels for that Destination unchanged. You will preset the Destination, select the Level(s) to be changed, select the Source, and then Take that Source to only those Destination’s Levels.

Note A Destination with an active breakaway displays an asterisk (*) in the Status display.

1. Assign the Destination on which you wish to perform a breakaway Take to the Preset display (see Step 1 through Step 3 of Switching Non-Dedicated Sources to Destinations on page 42).

2. Press the Level button to enter Level mode. In this mode you use the Prev and Next buttons to cycle through the available Levels for that Destination.

3. Illuminate the Take button for only the Destination Levels you wish to change by toggling the button on or off as you cycle through the Levels with the Prev and Next buttons. At least one Level must be selected.


XY Panel


5. Select the Source for the breakaway Take, using the same procedure as Step 2 of Switching Non-Dedicated Sources to Destinations on page 41).

6. Press the Take button. The new Source will be connected to only the selected Levels and an asterisk will appear in the Status display to indicate it has a breakaway.

Note The default panel configuration retains the Levels selected for a breakaway Take for all subsequent Take operations, until the Level selections are changed or a different Destination is selected.

Protect (XY Panel)

Note With default panel configurations, only the control panel that set the Protect can unprotect that Destination. When a Protect has been set, the Prot button on the panel that set the Protect will blink, and the Prot buttons on other panels accessing that Destination will be illuminated without blinking.


With the desired Destination selected, either by pressing its dedicated Des-tination button or assigning it to the Preset display, toggle the Prot button to turn Protect On (illuminated) or Off for that Destination.

Note XY panels do not report Protects for Destinations not currently assigned to the Status display. Relinquish all unneeded Protects before changing Desti-nations on these panels. Also remember to free up all Destinations no longer requiring protection before you leave the vicinity of the XY panel.

Salvo (XY Panel)When an XY panel has been configured with Salvo capabilities you will be able to select a Salvo and execute it.


1. Press the Salvo button to enter Salvo mode.

2. Use the Prev and Next buttons to move through the available pages of Salvos.

3. When the desired Salvo is displayed, press the Take button on that Status display to execute the Salvo.

BPS Panel

Default BPS Single Destination OperationThe default configuration for a BPS panel limits the scope of its control to a single Destination. For example, this panel can be dedicated to control inputs to a particular VTR. Operating procedures for the default single Des-tination configuration are be described in this section.

BPS panels are not limited to single Destination control, however. All of the buttons on the BPS panel can actually be programmed for any function or Source selection (except these panels do not support keypads). This makes it possible to configure a BPS panel with capabilities similar to an XY panel, except it will lack a keypad and have limited status reporting.

Taking a Source to a Destination (BPS Panel)On a default single Destination BPS, Sources are selected by pressing the desired Source selection button on the right. The Source is immediately taken to that Destination and the name of that Source is reported in the Des-tination Status display.

Breakaway Take (BPS Panel)A breakaway Take switches Sources on only some Destination Levels, leaving the other Levels for that Destination unchanged. You will select the Level(s) to be changed, then Take that Source to only those Destination’s Levels.

Note A Destination with an active breakaways displays an asterisk (*) in the Status display.

1. Toggle the Lvl buttons to illuminate the Levels of that Destination you wish to change.

2. Press the desired Source selection button. That Source will be taken to only the selected Levels, and an asterisk will appear in the Status display to indicate it has a breakaway.

Note The default panel configuration retains the Levels selected for a breakaway Take for all subsequent Take operations until the Level selections are changed or a different Destination is selected.

Protect (BPS Panel)

Note With default panel configurations only the control panel that set the Protect can unprotect that Destination. When a Protect has been set the Prot button on the panel that set the Protect will blink, and the Prot buttons on other panels accessing that Destination will be illuminated without blinking.




Toggle the Prot button to turn Protect On (illuminated) or Off for that Des-tination.

Salvo (BPS Panel)The default configuration for a BPS panel does not include any Salvo but-tons. If your panel has been configured for this feature a Salvo is fired simply by pressing the Salvo button configured for this purpose.

Self Configuration (BPS Panel)More than 32 Sources can be accessed by the BPS panel using the Self Con-figuration feature. This features allows BPS panel buttons to be remapped using the panel itself. BPS panel Level and Salvo buttons can also be self configured.

The normal reconfiguration process (using the Encore Panel Server appli-cation running on a PC to edit that panel’s configuration file) is not required to make these changes. The changes made with the Self Configu-ration are saved to that panel’s configuration file when the mode is exited and are persistent. Resetting a BPS panel after a Self Configuration will not change those settings.

The BPS panel default has the Self Configuration feature enabled. This feature can be disabled and so may not be available on a specific BPS panel.

Source Self Configuration

1. Press and hold down the All Lvls/Config button for five seconds. The panel will enter Self Configuration mode and all the Source selection and Level buttons will be illuminated.

2. Press an illuminated Source button. That button will blink.

3. Use the Prev and Next buttons to select a different Source for that button.

4. Press the blinking Source button to assign it that new Source.

5. Press the All Lvls/Config button to exit Self Configuration mode.

Level Self Configuration

Use the procedure above, but press an illuminated Lvl button and then choose an alternative Level with the Prev and Next buttons.


48B Panel

Salvo Self Configuration

If your panel is configured with Salvo selection buttons use the procedure above, but select an illuminated Salvo button and then choose an alterna-tive Salvo with the Prev and Next buttons.

48B Panel

48B Panel Features• 1RU rack mount,

• 48 user defined buttons,

• Default X-Y functionality, program row of Sources and row of Destina-tions,

• Allows Destination ganging (ideal for tape duplication), and

• Grouping with other panels to expand functionality.

48B Panel DescriptionThe 48B (Forty-Eight Button) panel only has programmable buttons and does not have an alphanumeric display (Figure 20).

48B Panel Default Button AssignmentsThe default function and selection button configuration for the 48B panel is shown in Figure 20.




Taking a Source to a Destination (48B Panel)1. Press the desired Destination button so it is illuminated.

2. Press the desired Source button. That Source will be immediately taken to that Destination.

Breakaway Take (48B Panel)A breakaway Take switches Sources on only some Destination Levels, leaving the other Levels for that Destination unchanged. You will select the Level(s) to be changed, then Take that Source to only those Destination’s Levels.

1. Press the desired Destination button so it is illuminated.

2. Toggle the Lvl buttons to illuminate the Levels you wish to change.

3. Press the desired Source button. That Source will be immediately taken only to the selected Levels of that Destination.

Note The default panel configuration retains the Levels selected for a breakaway Take for all subsequent Take operations until the Level selections are changed or a different Destination is selected.

Auto Tally and the Tally Level ButtonThe Auto Tally feature automatically tallies the first valid and enabled Level for a Destination. This is useful for breakaway Takes on panels lacking alphanumeric displays, since only one Source button is illuminated at a time. The Auto Tally configuration flag can be turned on and off, and the factory default setting for this feature is ON for 48B panels. When Auto Tally is ON, the Tally Level button, if present on a panel, is disabled.

You can Tally the Source for each Level of a Destination when Auto Tally is ON by disabling the other Levels. The Source button for that remaining enabled Level will be illuminated on the panel.

The priority order of Tally Level reporting when multiple Levels are active is the top down order of Levels in the router configuration. Typically this top down priority order corresponds to a left right order of Level buttons on a panel (Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, etc.). So, for example, if only Levels 2 and 3 are enabled and they are listed in that top down order, Auto Tally would illuminate the Source button for Level 2. Disabling Level 2 in this sit-uation would make the Source button for Level 3 illuminate.


48B Panel

Tally Level Button

The Tally Level button is used to change the Tally Level for the panel. Only the currently selected Level will be tallied.

Note On 48B panels the default setting for Auto Tally flag is ON, which disables the Tally Level button. Make sure Auto Tally is OFF on the configuration being used by the panel if you wish to use the Tally Level button.

Turning the Auto Tally flag OFF activates the Tally Level button, which is assigned to the lower right button by the factory default configuration (see Figure 20 on page 47).

To change the Tally Level of the panel, hold down the Tally Level button and press the Level button of the desired Level. The panel will use that Level for button tally until another Level is selected (or the Auto Tally flag is enabled).

Protect (48B Panel)The default configuration for a 48B panel does not include a Protect button. If your panel has been configured for this feature you can protect and unprotect the currently selected Destination by toggling the Prot button On or Off. The button is illuminated when a Protect is active on the selected Destination.

Salvo (48B Panel)The default configuration for a 48B panel does not include any Salvo but-tons. If your panel has been configured for this feature a Salvo is fired simply by pressing the Salvo button configured for this purpose. Salvo pages are not supported on 48B panels. A separate Salvo button is config-ured for each specific Salvo.

UCP Panel Configured as ServerClient Panel

Destination Displays & Keypads (3)

2-RU Rack Mount Frame (holds two half-rack units)

Panels

The ENC-UCP panel can be configured to act as a Server panel. Server and Client Control Panels fill a unique operational niche. The panels are com-plementary. The Server Panel provides quick keypad access to as many as 32 Source and Destination prefixes and suffixes, and Prev/Next scrolling access to all non-excluded system Sources and Destinations. Preset Source names are sent to Client Panels and stored in registers for convenient one-button recall or immediate use. A single Server Panel can be associated with up to 15 Client Panels within a single Client Server Group. Each Client Panel controls three Destinations. Thus, a single Server Panel can be used to set up six Source presets, each for up to forty-five router Destinations. Each preset could include Sources on up to 32 control Levels.

ENC-CLNT ConfigurationTo configure Encore Server Client control panels, the Server is identified as a Master panel, and each Client panel is configured as a member of that master panel’s group. Default Destinations are then assigned to the three Client panel sections using the Default Dst/Page flag.

See the separate Encore Installation & Service Manual for specific configura-tion instructions.

ENC-CLNT Operation

Note If the Client panel is reset, any assigned Destinations are replaced by default Dest/ Page settings, and all Sources are cleared from the numbered buttons.


Client Control Panel (ENC-CLNT)

Changing Destinations on a Client Panel

If you do not want to use a Client panel’s default Destinations, they can be changed with the Server panel.

1. Push Dest/ID on the Server panel to put it into Destination mode.

2. Preset a Destination on the Server panel, using the keypad or the Prev and Next buttons.

3. Press the Load button of the Client panel section you wish to assign that Destination to.

Identifying Assigned Client Panel Destinations

When the Server panel is in Destination mode, pressing the CE/Clear button clears the preset. The three currently assigned Destinations will be reported on those displays.

Assigning Sources to Client Panel Buttons

Once a Server Client panel group is configured, you can preset a Sources on the Server panel and assign them to buttons on the Client panel.

1. Push SRC on the Server panel to put it into Source mode.

2. Preset a Source on the Server panel, using the keypad or the Prev and Next buttons.

3. Press a Client panel section’s Load button, and then press a numbered button (1 - 6). Up to six Sources can be dynamically associated with those buttons for each Client Destination keypad.

Identifying Client Panel Sources

When the Server panel is in Source mode, pressing the CE/Clear button clears the preset. The three Sources for the currently assigned Destinations will be reported on those displays.

Taking a Source to a Destination (CLNT Panel)

To Take a Source to a Destination, touch the numbered register button (1-6), and then touch the blinking Take button on that Destination’s Client panel keypad.

Note Single button Takes is also available on Client panels (see Quick Take Mode below).



Quick Take Mode

A Client panel can be configured for Quick Take mode, by checking this box in the Encore Panel Server Flags and Parameters page for that Client panel. In this mode, pressing a numbered Source button will immediately perform a Take of that Source to that Client panel sections’s Destination.

In this mode, the Protect button changes its function. Pressing this button allows identification of the Source on each keypad button (by pressing that button). Once you have confirmed it is the correct Source, press the Protect button to exit the identification mode, and then press Take or press the blinking button to take that Source to that Destination.

Because the Client panel’s Protect button is unavailable in this mode, Take performed by the Client panel is automatically protected. If you wish to unprotect one of these Destinations, you can use the Encore OUI, or use another panel configured for Protect override.


Section 4SMS7000 GSC Control Panels

IntroductionSMS7000 Global Serial Channel (GSC) control panels can be used with an Encore version 1.7 or higher system. The control panel’s internal software needs to updated for use with Encore and a GSC mezzanine must be installed in the Encore System Controller. SMS7000 GSC control panels connect to Encore via the GSC BNC connectors on the rear panel of the Encore System Controller frame. Each of the four GSC busses support up to 16 SMS7000 control panels for a total of 64 per Encore System Controller.

Because the GSC panels do not use Ethernet these panels are not visible to the Grass Valley NetConfig application. GSC panel software cannot be updated using NetConfig, but instead a PC and a direct serial connection are used. See the Encore Release Notes for the latest installation and software update procedures.

Once installed with the Encore software, GSC panels are configured the same as other Encore panels, using the Encore Panel Server application. See the Encore Configuration Manual for additional information.

In general, SMS7000 panel functionality under Encore does not mimic func-tionality under SMS7000 control; rather it is based on the existing function-ality of the equivalent Encore control panel type.

All Encore system Control Panels support Chop except the CLNT/SVR and MCO/COS custom panels.

Because the GSC panels use older hardware and communication methods, their operating response will be slower than newer Encore control panels.

Section 5Kalypso Remote Aux Panels

IntroductionKalypso 32 button Remote Aux Panels can be used with an Encore version 1.7 or higher system. Older model Kalypso Aux Panels may need to have their software updated in order to work on an Encore system. See the Encore Release Notes for the latest installation and software update proce-dures. Once installed with the Encore software, Kalypso Remote Aux panels are configured the same as other Encore panels, using the Encore Panel Server application. See the Encore Configuration Manual for additional information.


• 10Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 control interface, includes active and collision indication,

• Internal auto-ranging AC mains power supply,

• Back-lit buttons with display intensity adjustments,

• All buttons programmable, and

• Simple name-based identification.


Section 5 — Kalypso Remote Aux Panels

Remote Aux Panel Model TypesTwo different Remote Aux Panel models exist. Different names have been used for the documentation of these panels, depending on whether they are part of a Kalypso system or an Encore system.

• KAL-32AUX1, the original model name used for the 1RU Kalypso Remote Aux Panel, corresponds to the KSD (Kalypso Single Destina-tion) panel when used with Encore.

• KAL-32AUX2, the original model name used for the 2RU Kalypso Remote Aux Panel, corresponds to the KMD (Kalypso Multi Destina-tion) panel when used with Encore.

Note Because all the buttons on the KSD and KMD panels are programmable, it is possible to configure either panel for either single or multiple Destination control.

The Encore Panel Server OUI identifies Kalypso panels as KSD or KMD, and these terms are used in this section.

KMD PanelThe KMD panel has a group of 48 programmable buttons on the left (typi-cally used for selections), and a status display and ten programmable buttons on the right (typically used for functions). See Figure 41.

The existing 48B panel configuration editor graphics and templates are used to program these panels, which display the maximum number of buttons.

Acappella Local PanelsAn Acappella matrix may be equipped with a local panel. Local panel buttons are incorporated into the front of the Acappella matrix frame.

Though the button layout and appearance of an Acappella local panel is similar to the Acappella remote panels described in this section, they are fundamentally different. Local panels are dedicated to only the Acappella matrix frame they are incorporated into and cannot be configured (except to support Level operation in conjunction with other Acappella matrix frames).


Default Button Configuration (Acappella Remote Panel)

Acappella local panel selection buttons are dedicated to specific Source and Destination connectors on that Acappella matrix, and cannot be used to switch crosspoints on other Encore system matrices.

If an Acappella matrix equipped with a local panel is part of an Encore system, the buttons on the local panel will be functional and can be used to change that matrix’s crosspoints. The status of these changes will also be reported on other Encore system panels configured to control the Sources and Destinations of that Acappella matrix.

Refer to the separate Acappella Instruction Manual for more information about Acappella matrix frames and local panels.

Default Button Configuration (Acappella Remote Panel)The default button configuration for all Acappella Remote Panels is the same as the Encore 48B panel, as is shown in Figure 48.

Buttons not present on a given Acappella panel can be programmed but obviously will not be usable since the buttons don’t actually exist. Knowing which buttons are available on a particular Acappella remote panel type is required when these panels are programmed.

Note It may be useful to create control panel templates (from the basic 48B tem-plate) for each type of Acappella panel used. The appropriate functions can be assigned to buttons present on the panel, and buttons that do not exist could be configured as Not Assigned.

2. Press the button type you wish to assign (Dest, Src, Level, or Salvo).

3. Use the Up and Down buttons to choose the desired item.



4. With the item displayed in the Preset window, press the physical button on the front panel to which you wish to assign that item.

5. Press Assign and Select to exit assign mode.

Front Panel Menu ProgrammingSome features can be configured on the JEP-100 from the front panel (pro-vided the Panel Server Self Config Lock flag is turned off):

• Destination Ganging - Allows simultaneous selection of multiple Des-tination for control.

• Alias Names - Displays Alias names in the windows.

• Brightness - Adjusts the intensity of the Display window text.

• ID - Reports the IP address and name of the panel.

• Sticky Levels - Retains the last selected Levels for breakaway Takes.

To access these features, press the Menu button, then use the Up and Down buttons to scroll through the list of options.

For features simply turned on or off, press the Take button to toggle the state.

Note The window reports the potential state, not the current state. For example, DstGng-N indicates Destination Ganging is ON. Pressing the Take button will change the indicator to DstGng-Y and turn OFF Destination Ganging.


Section 8Panel Operation Variations

IntroductionThe previous sections described basic operating procedures for the factory default configurations of various Encore system control panels. Control panels at most facilities are probably configured with different function-ality. This section lists some of the more important configuration variations available and briefly describes how they affect control panel operation.

For a complete listing of all the panel configuration parameters, refer to the separate Encore Configuration Manual.

Note If you have questions about the operation of a specific Encore control panel at your facility, contact the on-site engineer responsible for configuring and maintaining your Encore system.

Button Functions and SelectionsDifferent functions can be assigned to programmable panel buttons, including Source Selection, Destination Selection, Level Selection, Protect/Lock, Salvo, Previous, Next, and others.

If a control panel button is assigned a selection function, the specific item (a particular Source, Destination, Level, or Salvo) is configured to be selected by pressing that button.

Exclusion SetsSets of items (Area, Destination, Level, Salvo) can be programmed to be unavailable for control by a particular control panel. In larger facilities, lim-iting the control of some items (on-air Destinations, for example) to only some panels at selected locations can prevent important signals from being changed accidentally by some distant control panel.


Section 8 — Panel Operation Variations

Keypad SetsAlternative keypad sets can be created that change, for example, which pre-fixes and suffixes are entered for item names. Keypad sets can be shared with multiple panels. Typically the same keypads sets are used throughout a facility so the various panels operate the same, but this is not required.

Page SetsPanels with multiple displays support page sets, which group items together so they can be called up simultaneously. Page sets exist for Desti-nations and Salvos.

Dynamic Audio Attribute ControlAudio attributes on Concerto audio routers can now be dynamically con-trolled using Encore system Control Panels, or from an RCL Client (for example, an automation system). The audio attributes are: Stereo (Normal), Left Only, Right Only, Swap, Sum, Invert Left, Invert Right, and Mute. Five attributes are mutually exclusive and three are independent (Figure 51).

nation with any other attributes. For example, you can Swap the channels and also invert the Left channel. Incoming (upstream) signals are inverted, so in this example the Left channel is inverted and that inverted signal is passed to the right channel (Figure 52).

Applying Mute silences both channels. If a Mute is applied in conjunction with any other attributes and the Mute is then released, the audio attributes previously set remain in force and are restored when Mute ends.

Dynamic audio attributes control are supported by the following matrices:

• Concerto (Analog and AES/EBU Digital Audio).

Note On Concerto Analog Audio matrices, matrix outputs must be wired as left-right channel pairs.

Multiple bus panels (PMB, EDP, MB8, MB4) do not support dynamic audio attribute control.

Dynamic Audio Configuration

Control Panels are configured for dynamic audio control by assigning these functions to buttons, using the standard Encore configuration procedures. Refer to the separate Encore Configuration Manual for details.

Dynamic Audio Operation

Once audio functions have been assigned to Control Panel buttons, they will behave as follows:

• Multiple destination Control Panels must be in Source mode to access the dynamic audio features.

• Pressing an unilluminated Audio Left Only, Audio Right Only, Audio Swap, or Audio Sum button lights that button, activates that audio attribute, and deactivates any of the other attributes in this group (they are mutually exclusive). Pressing one of these buttons when it is illuminated deacti-vates that attribute and restores the normal Stereo audio attribute.



• If an Audio Stereo button is configured on the Control Panel, it illumi-nates when no other mutually exclusive attribute is enabled. Pressing this button when it is not illuminated selects normal Stereo operation, disabling any other mutually exclusive audio attribute.

• The independent audio attributes buttons (Audio Invert Left, Audio Invert Right, Audio Mute) are enabled and disabled individually by pressing those buttons. These buttons illuminate when that attribute is active and go off when inactive.

• Salvos can be created to control dynamic audio attributes (on a salvo element by salvo element basis).

Attributes and FlagsSome control panel behavior not related to a particular button function or selection can be changed by setting control panel attributes and/or flags during panel configuration. Some of the control panel attributes and flags that significantly affect panel operation are described below.

General Settings

Auto Tally

Sets the Source Tally to the first active and enabled Level of the active Des-tination.

Note Turning Auto Tally ON disables Tally Level button functionality.

Auto Level Latching

When doing breakaway takes on panels without dedicated Level buttons, the selected breakaway Levels can be persistent (remain in force for subse-quent takes), or can be cleared automatically (revert to all Levels after per-forming a take).

• When the Auto Level Latching flag is on, the current enabled/disabled Levels state is applied to subsequent Takes for that active Destination. Selecting a different Destination cancels the breakaway.

• When the Auto Level Latching flag is off, all Levels of the current active Destination are enabled after a take or change of active Destination, regardless of the previous Level enable states(s).


Attributes and Flags

Default Tally Level

Specifies the Level that will Tally by default in panel displays if a Level has not been specifically selected for Tally on that panel.

Display Alias Names

Alternative, or Alias, names can be configured for Sources and Destina-tions. Setting this flag on will display alias names on control panels with displays.

Dst Change Lock

When on, Dst Change Lock disables the panel’s ability to change Destina-tions.

Level Change Lock

When on, Level Change Lock disables the panel’s ability to select indi-vidual Levels to perform a breakaway Take.

Protect and Lock SettingsBecause the Encore control system uses multiple points of control (various control panels, Encore OUI, automation interfaces) some flags affect how different control panels interact. Specifically, the Protect and Lock features determine how changing Sources to Destinations can be restricted. This is useful if, for example, a VTR operator needs to ensure that the incoming Source remains present for the duration of a recording, and is not switched to another Source by some other panel in the facility.

The Protect, Hard Lock, and Soft Lock flags are mutually exclusive. For example, setting a Hard Lock on a panel automatically clears a Protect or Soft Lock flag for that panel, if set.

Protect

The Protect flag allows a control panel to set Protects on Destinations. Once a Protect is set, other panels cannot change the Source to that Destination, but the panel that had set the Protect is able to change that Destination’s Source, with some exceptions. Other panels with Lock/Protect Override or Force Unlock/Protect flags set can change Sources on Protected Destina-tions.



Hard Lock

The Hard Lock flag acts like Protect, except even the panel that set the Lock also cannot change a locked Destination’s Source. That panel must first remove the lock before the Destination can be switched. Other panels with Lock/Protect Override or Force Unlock/Protect flags set can change Sources on Locked Destinations.

Soft Lock

The Soft Lock flag acts like Protect, except any other panel can also remove the Protect from a Destination.

Lock/Protect Override

Lock/Protect Override allows a panel to temporarily remove a Lock or Protect from a Destination, and change the Source to that Destination. The Lock or Protect remains in force after the change to the new Source.

Force Unlock/Protect

Force Unlock/Protect allows a panel to remove a Lock or Protect from a Destination.

Salvo Editor Lock/Protect

The separate Salvo Editor application supports creating Salvos with Lock-Protect/Unlock-Unprotect capabilities. Executing a Salvo with this setting ON can, for example, lock one or more Destinations. A Salvo can also created to unlock one or more Destinations, perform Takes, and then either leave the Destinations unlocked or restore the Lock. Some limitations exist, including the inability to override some Protects, depending on the device issuing the Salvo. See the separate Salvo Editor Instruction Manual for spe-cific information.

Control Panel GroupingSome control panels can be configured to act together as a single larger control panel. Typically a 48B panel is grouped with a panel that has control functions and displays, and the 48B panel is configured with additional Sources and/or Destinations. See the separate Encore Configuration Manual for specific information.


Attributes and Flags

Joystick OverrideSome control panels have GPI connectors that can be used for Joystick over-ride. Joystick override permits switching the displayed video to another Source, and then either returning to the previously selected Source or keeping the Override Source displayed. This feature is typically used for camera matching.

Joystick Override Configuration

Joystick override has two operating modes, latching and non-latching. The mode is selected by assigning either the Source or Source (non-latching) func-tion to the Joystick Source button.

The following control panels support Joystick override:

Table 1. Joystick Override Panel

Encore panels BPS, 48B

Kalypso panels KMD, KSD

SMS panels P48, P32

Note On grouped control panels only the master panel’s joystick override can be used.

See the separate Encore Configuration Manual and Encore Installation and Service Manual for information about setting up panels for Joystick over-ride.

Joystick Override Operation

Activating a non-latching Joystick override (typically done by pressing a button on a camera remote control unit) switches to that Source, and releasing the button restores the last Source. A latching override keeps the override Source displayed until another Source is selected.

If multiple non-latching overrides are active, releasing overrides steps back through previous overrides in the reverse order of their selection. The last selected override will be restored when another override is released. For example, suppose Source A is selected for a non-latching override and held, then Source B is selected for override and held, and then Source C is selected for override and held. In this case, releasing Source C override restores Source B override, and then releasing Source B override restores Source A override.
