Figure 2-4 Back Panel Connections

The Panacea Lite supports X-Y communications and controls. If the P12×1-SPoption is installed, RS-232 and RS-422 will also be supported via a 9-pin serial port.

Although the serial connector is present in all configurations, it will be functionalonly when the P12×1-SP option is installed.

Serial Port NOTE: See P12×1-SP Installation, Configuration, and Operation onpage 29 for serial port control command information.

When the P12×1-SP option is installed, the serial port allows external control ofthe Panacea Lite by a computer, user, or automation system via a serial connectionusing RS-232 or RS-422. Pin assignments for each signal format are provided inTable 2-1. The port is configured for RS-232 or RS-422 at the manufacturingfacility, before the frame is shipped.

One of the many powerful features of the router control system is its ability to usea serial port to access the entire system. The serial port, in effect, is the controlgateway to the entire routing system.

Installing aPanacea Lite

Router

NOTE: Since the Panacea Lite is specifically ordered in a particularconfiguration, the Panacea Lite frame will be custom configured to thosespecifications.

The Panacea Lite can be installed anywhere within a routing system and can becontrolled in a variety of ways, including local or remote control panels andPC-based software control; or serial port control with the P12×1-SP optioninstalled. Because the flexibility of the Panacea Lite allows for many possibleconfigurations, the installation procedures will depend on the desiredconfiguration and system design. General installation procedures are as follows:

1 Ensure that all packing foam, strapping, and tape is removed from the frame.

2 Mount the frame in an rack that provides power and cooling facilities. Theframe is designed for mounting in a standard equipment rack.

3 Align the frame so that all 4 screw holes in the mounting ears match up withthose in the rack. (Adjustable ears on each side of the frame allow adjustabledepth placement of the frame within the rack.

4 Secure the frame to the rack with the rack screws and washers.

5 Connect each source to the appropriate input connection on the back panel I/O module.

6 Connect each destination to the output connection on the back panel I/Omodule.

7 Connect the control device to the appropriate port (XY or SERIAL) on theframe’s rear panel.

8 If the router is to be used in a multiple frame system, connect the additionalframes using the X-Y port. Be sure to terminate any unused X-Y ports. ThePanacea Lite router will not communicate properly unless at least one end ofthe X-Y bus is terminated.

9 If the router is a the end of the X-Y bus, terminate the other X-Y connectorwith a coaxial 75 termination.

10 Connect the power input receptacle to the power source.

An optional local control panel (a remote control panel is also available as anaccessory)

Firmware-BasedControl System

The Panacea Lite can operate in DIP switch mode (page 27), which is used for basicmatrix switching on the X-Y bus with Harris protocol.

Software-BasedControl Systems

The Panacea Lite routing switcher system makes use of the most innovative controlavailable on the market today. The operating system used for the Panacea Lite is areal-time embedded operating system that uses an interrupt-driven andpriority-based task scheduling algorithm to control the operations of the router.This means that switches will occur in a timely manner, which allows the PanaceaLite to be used in broadcast facilities where timing is crucial to the success of thefacility.

The configuration utility for programming your Panacea Lite for operation is calledRouterMapper™, an easy-to-use Windows-based application for programmingRouterWorks™, router frames, control panels, and the Opus master controller.Using RouterMapper, you may create a database that describes a routing system(i.e., available levels, sources, and destinations). That database may bedownloaded to a control panel and/or router frame, and may be used inconjunction with RouterWorks software applications. See your RouterMappermanual for instructions on how to set up your Panacea Lite for operation.

If you have an optional P12×1-SP submodule installed, there are several softwareapplications available to control your Panacea Lite:


27


Navigator™, an application that allows you to easily create custom browserpages that represent your network and its various environments around theworld. You can associate objects on these pages with network events,user-defined actions, and other browser pages. This allows you to consolidate,simplify, and centralize the status monitoring of the network's many devicesand environments on a few easy-to-use and -understand browser pages. Thiscan lead to more efficient and economical operation of your network.

20-TEN™ Con-trol of Harris

Routers:GVG20TOLXY

NOTE: This submodule can also be set up to operate in LSERIAL mode. Seepage 42 for more information about LSERIAL mode.

Use the GVG20TOLXY1 configuration in conjunction with a Harris routing switcherto allow control of the switcher via automation system software written for GVG20-TEN equipment. In this application, the P12×1-SP translates from Grass Valleyprotocol to the protocol required by the Harris routing switcher.

The Grass Valley 20-TEN protocol is a bidirectional RS-232/RS-422 protocol inwhich all communications are initiated by the controller (in this case, the controlleris the equipment designed to interface with the GVG 20-TEN router). TheGVG20TOLXY comes up and begins to search for Harris frames by sending outFrame Size requests on the X-Y bus. For every Frame Size response it receives, theGVG20TOLXY will send out a Status request to determine the status of thedestinations in that Harris frame. During normal operations, the GVG20TOLXY willcontinue to send Frame Size requests periodically. Any new frames found in thesystem will be added automatically, and frames that disappear from the system willbe reflected as missing.

The GVG20TOLXY will respond to any request in less than 1s, as guaranteed bythe GVG 20-TEN protocol. If a response is sent faster, the GVG20TOLXY will beready for further communications. This timing allows any equipment or softwaredesigned for use with the GVG 20-TEN router to also work with a Harris router (viathe GVG20TOLXY).

The important difference between a GVG 20-TEN router and the GVG20TOLXY isthat Protects do not have to be refreshed on a Harris router and will stay activeuntil removed. This should make third party software easier to implement. There isthe potential, however, that existing software that expects Protects to “go away”after 13 seconds will no longer work.

The GVG20TOLXY supports all functionality of the Grass Valley/Tektronix 20-TENprotocol. The features supported are listed in Table 4-1 on page 36.

Horizon™

Routers:LXYTOHORIZ


Use the LXYTOHORIZ configuration in conjunction with a GVG Horizon1 routingswitcher to allow control of the switcher via Harris control panels or automationsystem software. In this application, the P12×1-SP will convert from X-Y to GVGprotocol.

The LXYTOHORIZ uses the same default settings as described in the GVG GeneralPurpose Interface T/CI manual: 9600 baud, 7 data bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit. Thebaud rate setting can be changed via DIP switches. The LXYTOHORIZ supports allfunctionality of the Grass Valley/Tektronix Horizon protocol. As the Harris Protocolincludes several features which are not supported by the Grass Valley Horizon, theLXYTOHORIZ serial protocol translator adds those features to the control operationof the Horizon. Standard features are listed in Table 4-2. Additional features arelisted in Table 4-3 on page 39.

Status Request Returns the status of the requested destination on thelevels that are controlled by the GVG Horizon router.

Protect/Unprotect Protects or unprotects the requested destination on alllevels that are controlled by the GVG Horizon router.This is actually implemented as a Lock and Unlock fromthe Harris control system.*

* The GVG Horizon treats all commands received from the serial port as if they came from one device.The Protect feature as implemented by GVG does not actually Protect one Harris device from switchinga destination protected by another. Therefore, the LXYTOHORIZ will assume that any destination beingreported by the Horizon as Protected is actually Locked from the Harris point of view and all switchrequests on that destination will be turned down until it is unprotected. In this fashion, the GVGHorizon Protect feature is being implemented as a Lock on the Harris control system. Therefore, bothLock and Protect requests coming from Harris devices end up operating as if the request was for a Lock.From a GVG control panel’s point of view (a control panel connected to the GVG Horizon), thedestination will be Protected by the serial port. Since a Protect placed by one device actually looks like aLock from another device’s point of view, the destination will look as if it is Locked from the GVGcontrol panels as well.

X-Y to BARCOVIVALDI™:

LXYTOBARC


Use the LXYTOBARC configuration with the BARCO VIVALDI system1 so that eachof the four signals displayed in the VGA output of the VIVALDI will show the nameof the source being displayed. This adds an “under monitor display” capability tothe BARCO VIVALDI system when used with a Harris routing system.

The BARCO VIVALDI protocol is a simple, one-way communications protocol inwhich the P12×1-SP is the only device transmitting while the VIVALDI “listens.”The only message sent to the BARCO VIVALDI unit is a message specifying boththe “Address ID” for which the Source Identification (or text) should be set, andthe specific text to be displayed. The names of the sources are downloaded andstored in the P12×1-SP using RouterMapper™ software. The P12×1-SPautomatically centers the names in the VIVALDI display.

The VIVALDI unit requires a delay of at least 100ms between each message. Testingproved that with a delay of 300ms between each message, messages could becontinuously sent to the VIVALDI over an extended period of time without losingsynchronization in the communications between the LXYTOBARC and the VIVALDIunit.

To configure the router destinations which a VIVALDI display will follow, theLXYTOBARC simulates an RCP-ABA-XY panel. This allows RouterMapper to assignand download both the “Status” Source names to be displayed on the VIVALDI,and the destinations associated with each of the four VIVALDI VGA monitorwindows. To assign the Destinations, configure an RCP-ABA/XY so that the onlydestinations assigned are the four destinations to be displayed on the VIVALDIVGA monitor windows. Since the display text(s) are based on the “Status” Sourcenames, the “Logical Sources” are not required to be assigned (make sure not toassigned “Logical Sources” so the download can be processed faster).

Due to limited non-volatile memory storage, the LXYTOBARC can operate up to 32“Display IDs” (or logical Destinations) with one Level of up to 128 “Status” Sourcenames.

1 “VIVALDI” is a product of Scientific-Atlanta, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.


46


Figure 4-13 Router Level Definitions Window

NOTE: The “Logical Destinations” are downloaded in logical order. After adownload from RouterMapper, the P12×1-SP requires at least 60 secondsof idle time for it to back up its data to the EEProm. To speed up thedownload process, do not assign the “Logical Sources.”

The Address ID must be in the order with the “Logical Destination” assigned fromRouterMapper (see Figure 4-14 on page 47). For example, “BARS 6” in the listwindow under the “This Panel” for “Logical Destination” is assigned to Address ID#1, “BARS 7” is assigned to Address ID #2, “BARS 8” is assigned to Address ID #3,etc.

X-Y Controlof Datatek®

Routers:LXYTODATEK


To control a Datatek1 router via Harris control panels or automation software, usethe LXYTODATEK configuration in conjunction with the Datatek router. In thisapplication, the P12×1-SP will convert from X-Y to Datatek protocol.

The Datatek protocol is a bidirectional RS-232/RS-422 (default is RS-232) protocolwhere all communications are initiated by the controller (in this case the controlleris the LXYTODATEK). The LXYTODATEK comes up, sends a DEL character to resetthe Datatek communications and begins to search for frames by sending outExpanded Tally Requests to the Datatek port. When it receives a status responsefrom this request, the LXYTODATEK uses the information to determine the levelsand size of the Datatek router connected to it. From this point on, communicationswith the Datatek router are limited to an “as-needed” basis.

The LXYTODATEK will wait for each character (other than the DEL/reset character)to be echoed back to it. This wait will be at least 3-character times (changes basedon the baud-rate set). The LXYTODATEK will also guarantee at least 20 msbetween messages as recommended in the Datatek protocol documentation.

The LXYTODATEK will wait at least 1 second for a response to each message sentto the Datatek router. This is 1 second from the last character of a message to thefirst byte of a response. If a response is received earlier than the 1 second, theLXYTODATEK will begin transmitting the next message (if any are pending). Thistiming guarantees the Datatek router has enough time to process each message.

The LXYTODATEK supports the following functionality of the Datatek protocol:

1 “Datatek” is a trademark of Datatek Corp, Mountainside, New Jersey.

Table 4-6 Supported Functionality

Feature Description

Take Switches the source to the destinationon the requested levels controlled bythe Datatek router

Status Request Returns the status of the requesteddestination controlled by the Datatekrouter

Protect / Unprotect Protects or unprotects the requesteddestination on all levels (Datatek callsthis feature “LOCK”)

IMPORTANT: Datatek treats all communications from its serial port as if they werecoming from one device with an ADDR/ID of 253. This prevents the LXYTODATEK fromsending the actual ADDR/ID of the panel which requested a Protect to the Datatek routerTherefore, the Protect feature has been implemented as a Lock. In this implementation,any panel can apply or remove the Lock. This is done to prevent a panel at an addressother than the one applying a Protect from being able to switch the Protecteddestination.

LXYTOMO-DEM

Use the LXYTOMODEM configuration to allow remote control a of Harris routerusing Harris X-Y control panels. In this application, the P12×1-SP translates fromX-Y protocol to the RS-232 required by the modem. The P12×1-SP does notcommunicate with the modem; it expects the modem connection to look like a“wired” connection. Therefore, the LXYTOMODEM configuration should not beused when a dial-up connection is required, unless the modem pairs hide thisfunction from the P12×1-SP.

plays:LXYTOMH-

zUMD


Use the LXYTOMHzUMD configuration with the Megahertz Under Monitor Display(UMD)1. The Megahertz UMD is assigned a Destination to display the status nameof the Source that is currently switched to its Destination. In this case, theMegahertz UMD uses TSL protocol. The status of the Destinations and switching isin X-Y protocol. As a result, it is necessary to use this P12×1-SP to translate the X-Yprotocol to Megahertz UMD using TSL protocol. The P12×1-SP statuses the properDestinations for the UMD(s) to display. When the status is received for each of theUMD(s) on the P12×1-SP branch of the X-Y bus, the P12×1-SP translates thatstatus to TSL protocol and transmits this information over the RS-422 line to theUMD to display. Effectively, this adds the option to use Megahertz Under MonitorDisplays in the Harris routing and control system.

The Megahertz UMD protocol is a simple, one-way communications protocol inwhich the P12×1-SP is the only device transmitting and each Megahertz UMD“listens.” The only message sent to the UMD unit is a message specifying both the“Address ID” for which the Source identification (or text) should be set, and thespecific text to be displayed. The names of the sources are downloaded and storedin the P12×1-SP using RouterMapper configuration utility software.

LXYTOMHzUMDRouterMapperConfiguration

Procedures

NOTE: For a more detailed explanation of these procedures, see theRouterMapper Configuration Utility Reference Guide.

The following procedures and information are necessary to have each MegahertzUMD to display their destination's status correctly. You can make these changesthrough RouterMapper configuration utility software.

There are three main steps to completing this procedure:

1 Polling the system (see page 61)

2 Deleting the sources to the UMD (see page 61)

3 Assigning Destinations (see page 63)

1 The Megahertz Under Monitor Display is a product of Megahertz Broadcast Systems Ltd.,Cambridge, United Kingdom.


61


Step 1: Polling the System

NOTE: Each UMD represents or displays the status of one Destination.

In RouterMapper, a Poll of the system will show that each LXYTOMHzUMD isrecognized as an RCP ABA-XY control panel. This allows the RouterMappersoftware to assign and download both the “Status” Source names to be displayedon the Megahertz UMD, and the Destination associated with each display.

Figure 4-23 Poll Shows LXYTOMHzUMD as RCP ABA-XY

Step 2: Deleting the Megahertz UMD Sources

This step is performed because only Destinations are monitored by the MegahertzUMD. Source information is not necessary and, by deleting the Sources associatedwith the Megahertz UMD, the download time will be decreased.

To delete Sources, follow these steps:

1 At the RouterMapper main menu screen, highlight the name of the item thathas the Sources you want to delete.

2 Select Edit.


62


Figure 4-24 Choosing the Item that Has the Sources to Delete

3 At the Assignments tab, select Delete All for Sources.

Figure 4-25 Deleting Sources


63


Step 3: Assigning the Destinations

Each Megahertz UMD must have its own Address ID. The Address ID is assigned toeach Megahertz UMD from the front panel. The Megahertz Under Monitor DisplayUser Manual contains instructions for assigning an Address ID.

Once each Megahertz UMD has its own Address ID, the Destinations must beassigned to these Address IDs so that the proper Megahertz UMD will monitor theproper Destination.

To assign Destinations, follow these steps:

1 At the Assignment tab, select Delete All for Destinations.

Figure 4-26 Deleting Destinations

2 Select the proper Destinations from the Global Database box (make sure theyare sorted in Logical sort order) to assign the Destinations.


64


Figure 4-27 Assigning Destinations

Note that these destinations will list in numeric physical order and that theproper Megahertz UMD must be in this order from the P12×1-SP in itsphysical order.

NOTE: Destinations are downloaded in numerical order. After a downloadfrom RouterMapper, the P12×1-SP needs at least 60 seconds of idle timefor it to back up the data to the EEProm. To increase this download speed,do not assign Sources.

For example:

Dest 7 must be assigned the UMD Address 1. (This panel should bephysically located first, following the P12×1-SP in its branch, becauseits physical location is first in this two-destination monitoringexample.)

Dest 8 must be assigned the UMD Address 2, etc.

Due to limited non-volatile memory storage, the LXYTOMHzUMD canoperate up to 32 “Display IDs” with one level of up to 128 “Status”source names.

Editing Text Dis-played on the

Megahertz UMD

The status Source names are displayed when the Megahertz UMD displays thestatus of its Destination. The status Source name is the name of the Source that isswitched to that Destination.

To edit these Status Source Names, follow these steps:

1 At the RouterMapper main menu screen, highlight the name of the item thathas the status Source name text you want to edit.


65


2 Select Sources.

Figure 4-28 Editing Status Source Names

3 Select the Status Names tab.

4 Change the names of the Sources.

Figure 4-29 Renaming Status Sources


66


LXYTOMHzUMDMonitoring Lev-

els

The LXYTOMHzUMD only statuses the Level of the Destination that is associatedwith the level of the source. That means that if there is a source on only Levels 2and 3 and the destination is on Level 1, the Source will not be switched to thatDestination; therefore, the UMD will not display the switched Status Source name.

The P12×1-SP will control the lowest Level of the first Destination. Therefore, if thefirst Destination is on Level 1, all status of Destinations for that P12×1-SP will showLevel 1 status. If the first Destination is on Level 2, all status of Destinations for thatP12×1-SP will show Level 2 status, and ignore what occurs other levels.

To monitor multiple levels, an P12×1-SP branch for each Level must be installed.

SLUMD

TNOTE: his submodule can also be set up to operate in LSERIAL mode. Seepage 42 for more information about LSERIAL mode.

Use the LXYTOTSLUMD configuration with any under monitor display (UMD) thatuses TSL protocol1, such as the Megahertz Under Monitor Display. The UMD isassigned a destination to display the status name of the source that is currentlyswitched to its destination. In this case the UMD uses TSL protocol. The status ofthe Destinations and switching is in X-Y protocol. So it is necessary to use thisP12×1-SP to translate the X-Y protocol to TSL protocol. The P12×1-SP statuses theproper destinations for the UMD(s) to display. When the status is received for eachof the UMD(s) on the P12×1-SP branch of the X-Y bus, the P12×1-SP translatesthat status to TSL protocol and transmits this information over the RS-422 line tothe UMD to display.

The TSL UMD protocol is a simple, one-way communications protocol in which theP12×1-SP is the only device transmitting and each TSL UMD “listens.” The onlymessage sent to the TSL unit is a message specifying both the “Address ID” forwhich the Source Identification (or Text) should be set, and the specific text to bedisplayed. The names of the sources are downloaded and stored in the P12×1-SPusing RouterMapper configuration utility software.

LXYTOTSLUMDRouterMapperConfiguration

Procedure

NOTE: The following information is for use with RouterMapperconfiguration utility software.

Follow these steps to have each TSL UMD display its Destination’s status correctly.

1 Polling the system (see page 69).

2 Deleting Sources to the UMD (see page 69).

3 Assigning the Destinations (see page 71).

1 TSL protocol and the Megahertz Under Monitor Display are products of Television SystemsLimited, Maidenhead, Berkshire, UK.


69


Step 1: Polling the System

Each UMD represents or displays the status of one Destination.

In RouterMapper, a Poll of the system will show that each LXYTOTSLUMD isrecognized as an RC-ABA/XY control panel. This allows RouterMapper to assignand download both the “Status” source names to be displayed on the TSL UMD,and the destinations associated with each of the display(s).

Figure 4-32 A Poll Showing LXYTOTSLUMD as RCP-ABA/XY

Step 2: Deleting the Sources to the UMD

Only Destinations are monitored by the LXYTOTSLUMD; therefore, by deleting thesources to the TSL UMD, the download time will be decreased.

1 Choose Edit from the main menu window.


70


Figure 4-33 Edit the LXYTOTSLUMD

2 At the Assignments screen for Sources, choose Delete All.

Figure 4-34 Delete Sources to the LXYTOTSLUMD

Step 3: Assigning the Destinations

Each UMD must have its own Address ID. The Address ID is assigned on each UMDfrom the front panel. Directions for assigning an Address ID can be found in theMegahertz Under Monitor Display User Manual.

Once each UMD has its own Address ID, the Destinations must be assigned tothese UMD Address IDs so that the proper UMD will monitor the properDestination.

1 Edit the panel again and select the Assignment tab.

2 At the Destination, select Delete All.

Dest 7 must be assigned the UMD Address 1 (This UMD should be physicallylocated first following the P12×1-SP in its branch, because its physical locationis first in this two destination monitoring example.)

Dest 8 must be assigned the UMD Address 2, etc.

Because of limited memory storage, the LXYTOTSLUMD can operate up to 32Display IDs with one level of up to 128 Status Source names.

The LXYTOTSLUMD can operate only one level (the level is determined from thefirst download logical Destination’s control level).

The Destinations are downloaded in numerical order. After a download fromRouterMapper, the P12×1-SP requires at least 60 seconds of idle time for it to backup the data to the EEProm. To increase this download speed, do not assign Sourcesto the LXYTOTSLUMD.

Text Displayed onthe UMD

Status Source names are displayed when the UMD displays the status of itsDestination. The Status Source name is the name of the Source that is switched tothat Destination. Follow these steps to edit these Status Source names.

1 Select Source from the RouterMapper main window.

2 Select the Status Sources tab.

3 Edit the names of the Sources.


73


Figure 4-37 Editing Status Source Names

Monitoring Levels The LXYTOTSLUMD only statuses the Level of the Destination that is associatedwith the Level of the Source; that is, if there is a Source on Levels 2 and 3 only andthe destination is on Level 1, the source will not be switched to that Destinationand the UMD will not display the switched Status Source name.

The P12×1-SP will control the lowest level of the first destination. Therefore, if thefirst Destination is on Level 1, all status of destinations for that P12×1-SP will showLevel 1 status. If the first destination is on Level 2, all status of destinations for thisP12×1-SP will show Level 2 status, and ignore what occurs on other Levels.

To monitor multiple Levels, install an P12×1-SP branch for each Level.

X-Y Controlof Light-

wave®

Matrix-HubSeries 1000™

Switcher:LXYTOLIGHT-

WAVE


Use the LXYTOLIGHTWAVE configuration with a Harris routing switcher to allowcontrol of the switcher via automation system software written for the LightwaveMatrix-Hub Series 1000 matrix switch1. The P12×1-SP translates X-Y commands toLightwave commands, and Lightwave responses to X-Y responses. The Lightwaveproduct interfaces to the P12×1-SP serial port, and X-Y interfaces to the P12×1-SPX-Y BNC port. In this application, the P12×1-SP will translate from Matrix-Hubprotocol to the protocol required by the Harris routing switcher.

The LXYTOLIGHTWAVE protocol is an RS-232 protocol. When theLXYTOLIGHTWAVE is powered-up, it requires approximately 4 seconds to updatethe internal status table.

System andMatrix-Hub Dis-

covery

System Discovery LXYTOLIGHTWAVE supports the discovery of a new Matrix-Hub router, and theloss of communication with the previously discovered Matrix-Hub.LXYTOLIGHTWAVE will also query and report alarms for the connectedMatrix-Hub.

Matrix-HubDiscovery

The LXYTOLIGHTWAVE will go into a discovery sequence on startup. During thediscovery sequence the unit will establish the frame size, and crosspoint connectsof the connected Matrix-Hub. Crosspoint information will then be relayed back toX-Y.

The default password (mh1) is case-sensitive. The system will not respond to thedefault password if it is entered in all-caps or caps-lowercase.

The LXYTOLIGHTWAVE will remain in discovery until the following eventscomplete:

1 The Lightwave unit accepts and responds to the default password “mh1.”

2 A Lightwave CL message is sent to the Matrix-Hub to query frame size.

3 A Lightwave CL response message is received to indicate the frame size arereceived.

4 The frame size is sent on X-Y.

5 A Lightwave CS message is sent for each level found during frame sizediscovery to query crosspoints at each level.

6 A Lightwave CS response is received for each level queried.

7 Data from each crosspoint disclosed in the CS response message is sent via anS: message to X-Y.

1 The Lightwave Matrix-Hub Series 1000 matrix switch is a product of Lightwave Communi-cations, Milford Connecticut.


90


Loss ofCommunication

The LXYTOLIGHTWAVE will detect when the previously discovered Matrix-Hub hasbeen disconnected. Upon detection the P12×1-SP will transmit a series of framesize messages indicating the change (typically, “frame size 0”).

Detecting andReporting Alarm

Conditions

Unlike Harris products, the Lightwave Matrix-Hub will not send the bus unsolicitedalarm messages when an alarm occurs. To simulate operation as a Harris router,the LXYTOLIGHTWAVE will periodically send the Lightwave CP <Level> commandto query for alarms.

1 After receiving the solicited CP response the message is parsed. If an alarmcondition exists:

The alarm value is stored in the event that X-Y solicits for alarms later withthe Q? message.

An unsolicited Q: alarm with the new alarm information is sent back onX-Y.

2 Matrix-Hub CP response messages will be in the following formats:

2PP1,Power Supply A +5V: OK

2PP1,Power Supply A -5V: OK

2PP0,Power Supply B +5V: Failed

2PP0,Power Supply B -5V: Failed

2PT 95ßF

2PT 97ßF

2PT 91ßF

3 The P12×1-SP will convert Matrix-Hub status messages to Harris alarmmessages as follows:

If Power Supply A fails, the value “4” will be bit-masked into the alarmmessage. Within Harris router control applications, this alarm value willcorrespond to the alarm “Power Supply 1 Failure.”

If Power Supply B fails, the value “8” will be bit-masked into the alarmmessage. Within Harris router control applications, this alarm value willcorrespond to the alarm “Power Supply 2 Failure.”

If a temperature value exceeds 100° (either Centigrade or Fahrenheit), thevalue “1” will be bit-masked into the alarm message. Within Harris routercontrol applications, this alarm value will correspond to the alarm “Fan 1Failure.”

IMPORTANT: Lightwave Communications has indicated that temperaturesabove 100°F may be a concern, since at this temperature VGA output maystart to become distorted. However, in trial runs at Harris, standard operatingtemperatures often exceed this value.

The elevated temperature may have little to do with an actual “Fan”malfunction in the Matrix-Hub. Currently, Harris has no alarm value to indicateelevated temperature. The temperature has been arbitrarily mapped to the Fanalarm, as a closest match solution.

The temperature alarm condition is not dependent on the style ofmeasurement (i.e., Centigrade, Fahrenheit), only that the units meet or exceed100. You can disable this alarm by running the Lightwave with “DisplayTemperature in °C” mode. This mode is enabled by adjusting the DIP switchesin the Matrix-Hub control card (see “Other Information” [page 93]).


91


For more information on the contents of the CP response message see theMatrix-Hub Series 1000 User Manual.

Protocol Com-mands Issued

Between LXYTO-LIGHTWAVE and

Matrix-Hub

The following commands are supported internally in transactions between theLXYTOLIGHTWAVE and the Matrix-Hub. The user does not call these commandsdirectly over X-Y.

Other Informa-tion

The P12×1-SP will support a matrix of up to 128 sources by 128 destinationson 4 levels.

Currently, the only point of entry for control of the Matrix-Hub Series 1000switcher is the Matrix-Hub serial “in” port. The LXYTOLIGHTWAVE assumessole control of the Matrix-Hub system. Future enhancements in controlschemes that may be developed to use more than one controller will haveadverse effects on the performance of the LXYTOLIGHTWAVE, and are notrecommended.

The LXYTOLIGHTWAVE assumes control of a maximum of four switchinglevels. When used in conjunction with a Harris router system the Harris systemcannot use more than four levels.

In the native mode of operation Matrix-Hub has default user privilege levels.When used with the LXYTOLIGHTWAVE the Matrix-Hub password user levelswill be inherently determined by your ability to log onto the workstationrunning the RouterWorks® application.

The Matrix-Hub allows a source to be taken to multiple destinations on themonitor level, but not on other levels. As a result if a keyboard, mouse, orserial port is taken to multiple destinations, only the last destination specifiedin the command (or in the preset buffer) will be taken on these levels. Otherconflicting destination levels will be left disconnected.

Successful use of the Matrix-Hub with the LXYTOLIGHTWAVE requires thatyou configure the Matrix-Hub DIP switch settings as per the Matrix-Hub Series1000 User Manual. Additionally, you must configure the optional userpreference settings as shown in Table 4-17.

X-Y Controlof Sierra®

RoutingSwitchers :

LXYTOSIERRA


Use the LXYTOSIERRA configuration to translate the commands coming from X-Yto allow the control of Sierra routing switchers1. The P12×1-SP translates X-Ycommands to Sierra commands, and Sierra responses to X-Y responses. In thisapplication, the P12×1-SP will allow the Sierra routing switcher to be seen by theX-Y in the same way that it would be seen if it was a Harris routing switcher.

The LXYTOSIERRA protocol is an RS-232 protocol. When the LXYTOSIERRA ispowered up, it requires approximately 4 seconds to update the internal statustable.

System andMatrix Discovery

System Discovery LXYTOSIERRA supports the discovery of a new Sierra router, and the loss ofcommunication with the previously discovered Sierra router.

Sierra Discovery The LXYTOSIERRA will go into a discovery sequence on startup. During thediscovery sequence the unit will establish the frame size and crosspoint connects ofthe connected switcher. Crosspoint information will then be relayed back to X-Y.

The LXYTOSIERRA will remain in discovery until the following events complete:

1 A Sierra “L” message is sent to Sierra switcher to query frame size.

2 A Sierra “L” response message is received to indicate the frame size isreceived.

3 The frame size is sent on X-Y.

4 A Sierra “S” message is sent for each level found during frame size discoveryto query crosspoints at each level.

5 A Sierra “X,” “Y,” or “V” response is received for each level queried.

6 Data from each crosspoint disclosed in the “S” response message is sent via anS: message to X-Y.

7 A Sierra “B” command is sent for each destination to require the lock status.

8 A Sierra “B” command response for each destination indicating the lockstatus.

Loss ofCommunication

The LXYTOSIERRA will detect when the previously discovered Sierra has beendisconnected. Upon detection the P12×1-SP will reset and start the discoverymechanism over.

Detecting andReporting Alarm

Conditions

No alarm condition is reported by the Sierra routing switcher; therefore, theP12×1-SP will reply with an Alarm Free message to any alarm status request fromthe X-Y side.

X-Y toMcCurdy®

Under Moni-tor Displays:

LXYTOM-CUMD


Use the LXYTOMCUMD configuration with McCurdy Under Monitor Display(UMD)1 to show the name of the source being displayed. The P12×1-SP canoperate up to 32 McCurdy UMDs. The McCurdy UMD protocol is a simple one-waycommunications protocol in which the P12×1-SP is the only device transmittingwhile the McCurdy UMD “listens.” The only message sent to the McCurdy unit is amessage specifying both the “Address ID” for which the Source Identification (orText) should be set, and the specific text to be displayed. The names of the sourcesare downloaded and stored in the P12×1-SP using RouterMapper configurationutility software. The P12×1-SP automatically centers the names in the McCurdydisplay.

To configure the router destinations that a McCurdy display will follow, theLXYTOMCUMD simulates an RCP-ABA/XY panel. This allows RouterMapper toassign and download both the “Status” source names to be displayed on theMcCurdy UMD, and the destinations associated with each of the display(s).

To assign the destinations, configure an RCP-ABA/XY so that the only destinationsassigned are the destinations that are matched with the address ID on theMcCurdy UMD. Since the display text(s) are based on the “Status” source names,the “Logical Sources” are not required to be assigned (make sure not to assigned“Logical Sources” so the download can process faster).

Due to limited non-volatile memory storage, the LXYTOMCUMD can operate up to32 “Display IDs” with one level of up to 128 “Status” source names.

The LXYTOMCUMD can operate only one level (the level is determined from thefirst download Logical Destination’s control level).

Figure 4-55 Setting Levels

1 The McCurdy UMD is a product of McCurdy Radio Industries Limited, Toronto, Ontario,Canada.


108


IMPORTANT: The Address ID (which is set at the rear panel of the McCurdy) mustbe in the order with the “Logical Destination” assigned from RouterMapper. Forexample, “BARS 6” in the list window under the “This Panel” for “LogicalDestination” is assigned to Address ID #1, “BARS 7” is assigned to Address ID #2,“BARS 8” is assigned to Address ID #3, etc.

Figure 4-56 Logical Destinations

The “Logical Destinations” are downloaded in logical order. After a downloadfrom the RouterMapper, the P12×1-SP requires at least 60 seconds of idle time forit to back up its data to the EEPROM. To speed up the download process, do notassign the “Logical Sources.”

McCurdy Setup The McCurdy UMD will display the “source status name” of the specifieddestination based on the two DIP switch settings (SW2 and SW3) in the back ofthe unit. (Refer to the McCurdy UMD-32 Under Monitor Display ProtocolInformation manual for DIP switch setting information for the McCurdy UMD.) Ifboth DIP switches are set to the same destination or Address ID, the UMD unit willhave a single 32-character display. If the DIP switches are set with different AddressIds, the UMD unit will have dual 16-character displays.

X-Y Controlof NVISION®

Routers:LXYTONVIS


To control an NVISION routing system1 via Harris control panels or automationsoftware, use the LXYTONVIS configuration in conjunction with an NVISION router.In this application, the P12×1-SP will convert from X-Y to NVISION protocol.

The NVISION protocol is a bidirectional RS-232/RS-422 (default is RS-422) protocolin which all communications are initiated by the controller (in this case, thecontroller is the LXYTONVIS). The LXYTONVIS comes up and begins to search forframes by sending out Device Presence Requests to the NVISION port. When theLXYTONVIS receives a response to this request, it uses the information todetermine the type and size of the NVISION router connected to it. The LXYTONVISwill automatically change its operation according to the type of router connected(422/data port router vs. AES or other traditional router). For that reason, twodifferent types of NVISION routers should never be connected to the sameLXYTONVIS.

The LXYTONVIS will wait at least 50 ms between the last character of any messageor from the last character received from the router before initiating anycommunications. This means that if the router does not respond, the LXYTONVISwill wait at least 50 ms before sending the next request. If the NVISION router doesrespond to a message/request sent to it (within 50ms), the LXYTONVIS will wait50ms from receipt of the last character before sending another request. Thistiming guarantees the router has enough time to process each message.

The LXYTONVIS supports most of the functionality of the NVISION protocol. Thestandard features supported by the NVISION protocol are listed in Table 4-23.

1 NVISION routing systems are products of NVISION Inc., Grass Valley, California.

MARC TYPEII™ SQC Con-trol of Harris

Routers:PANMII-

TOLXY


Use the PANMIITOLXY configuration in conjunction with a Harris routing switcherto allow control of the switcher via automation system software written for thePanasonic MARC Type II1 equipment. In this application, the P12×1-SP willtranslate from AV SW’er protocol to the protocol required by the Harris routingswitcher.

The MARC Type II SQC protocol is a half duplex RS-422 protocol in which allcommunications are initiated by the controller (in this case, the controller is theequipment designed to interface with the Panasonic switcher.) The PANMIITOLXYinitializes and sends out a Status Request to determine the status of thedestinations of the Harris router.

The PANMIITOLXY will responds to any request in less than 14 nS, as guaranteedby the MARC Type II SQC protocol. If a response is sent faster, the PANMIITOLXYwill be ready for further communications. This timing allows any equipment orsoftware designed for use with the Panasonic MARC Type II AV SW’er to also workwith a Harris router (via the PANMIITOLXY.)

Only remote control is allowed to do SET commands.

The PANMIITOLXY supports all functionality of the MARC Type II AV SW’erprotocol. The features supported are as follows:

Local Enable/Disable — PANMIITOLXY is in local or remote control.

Set Crosspoint — Set the crosspoint data expected to be controlled by theHarris router.

Read Crosspoint — Returns the crosspoint data expected to be controlled bythe Harris router.

Read All Crosspoints — Returns the all crosspoint data and its status expectedto be controlled by the Harris router.

Set All Crosspoints — Sets multiple crosspoints expected to be controlled bythe Harris router.

DIP Switch Set-tings Notes

Remote Mode — If the PANMIITOLXY is set as Remote, it will be in remote modeand ignore the Local Disable command. If the PANMIITOLXY is set as Local, it willstay in local mode until it receives a valid Local Disable command.

MARC Type II SQC has destinations in base-1 (1 to 9 or 1 to 16) and sources inbase-0 (0–15).

5 to 0 Destination Offset — If the offset option is On, the PANMIITOLXY will treatdestination 6 the same way as destination 1 (both destinations will be set to thesame source), and destination 7 will be the same as destination 2, and so on. Thisoffset can be set for destinations up to 16. If the offset option is Off, destinations 1to 16 act in regular consecutive order.

MARC II SW’er Size — The PANMIITOLXY can control a router matrix size of 16x9(16 sources by 9 destinations) or 16x16.

Pro-Bel™Controller for

Harris Rout-ers: PROBEL-

TOLXY


Use the PROBELTOLXY configuration in conjunction with a Harris routing switcherto allow control of the switcher via automation system software written for thePro-Bel1 routing equipment. In this application, the P12×1-SP will translate fromPro-Bel protocol to the protocol required by the Harris routing switcher.

The PROBELTOLXY protocol is an RS-422 protocol (in this case, the controller is theequipment designed to interface with the Prosan router). When the PROBELTOLXYis powered-up, it requires approximately 150 seconds to update the internal statustable. It is important that the Prosan’s router mapping configuration must beprogrammed into the PROBELTOLXY via the configuration application beforeoperating the PROBELTOLXY with the Prosan’s system.

ConfigurationControl

The SW1 Pole 4 sets a “safety catch” bit for programming the PROBELTOLXY viathe configuration application. When bit 4 is ON, the PROBELTOLXY assumes thePro-Bel Router is a 16x1 matrix if the configuration application fails to program thePROBELTOLXY. When bit 4 is OFF, PROBELTOLXY will not be operational until thePro-Bel router mapping configuration has been programmed into thePROBELTOLXY.

ConfigurationApplication Notes

The following files are required to edit and download the Pro-Bel’s matrix partitiontable into the PROBELTOLXY:

NOTE: You can edit the SPTCFG.PAN and SPTCFG.INI files with theMicrosoft® Notepad application.

SPTCFG.PAN: A text formatted file containing the partition table of the Prosanrouter; The SPTCFG.PAN file has notes explaining how to configure the matrixpartition table

SPTCFG.INI: A text formatted file containing comm port and baud rate settingsfor the configuration application

SPTCFG.EXE: An executable file for downloading the matrix partition file(SPTCFG.PAN) to the PROBELTOLXY

Protocol Com-mands

NOTE: The PROBELTOLXY will guarantee at least 2.25 seconds or faster inresponse to an Interrogate message as recommended in the Pro-Belprotocol documentation.

The PROBELTOLXY protocol supports the following Pro-Bel’s messages:

Interrogate: Requests for Tally information.

Connect: Requests a route to be made through the router.

1 Pro-Bel routing switchers are products of Chyron Pro-Bel Ltd., Reading, Berkshire, UK. Chy-ron Pro-Bel Ltd. is a division of the Chyron Corporation.

X-Y Controlof Sandar®

Routers:SANDAR-

TOLXY

This submodule can also be set up to operate in LSERIAL mode. See page 42 formore information about LSERIAL mode.

Use the SANDARTOLXY configuration in conjunction with a Harris routing switcherto allow control of the switcher via Prosan automation system software written forthe Sandar routing equipment1. In this application, the P12×1-SP will translatefrom Prosan protocol to the protocol required by the Harris routing switcher.

The SANDARTOLXY uses RS-232 protocol to translate Sandar controller messagesinto X-Y messages, to command devices on the X-Y bus. Similarly, theSANDARTOLXY translates X-Y status and response messages into Sandar messagesto alert Sandar controller devices of command responses and changes in status.When the SANDARTOLXY powers up, it requires approximately 45 seconds toupdate the internal status table. During this time the SANDARTOLXY cannotrespond to the Sandar controller device. Once the internal status table is built, theSandar controller device will be alerted with a reset message and a series ofcrosspoint status messages advising the current crosspoint information. Followingthese messages the Sandar controlling device can transmit messages to theSANDARTOLXY.

The Sandar protocol is an ACK/NAK protocol; that is, each message sent willreceive an immediate response indicating that the message is either acknowledged(ACK) or not acknowledged (NAK).

The SANDARTOLXY will “acknowledge” any message with the correctchecksum without regard to the command or message content.

The SANDARTOLXY will “not acknowledge” messages with the incorrectchecksum.

Likewise, if messages sent from the SANDARTOLXY to the host are neitheracknowledged or not acknowledged within a 2-second timeframe, the messagewill be retransmitted. The message will be transmitted up to 3 times beforeattempts to send the message are abandoned.


Source 1 forDisconnect (SW1

Pole 5)

The SW1 Pole 5 bit provides a selectable parameter “native” to Sandar protocol,which allows you to inhibit disconnecting a destination from sources altogether.The factory default is to set this bit to the ON position.

When bit 5 is ON, the SANDARTOLXY will internally substitute the disconnectcode 000 (or 00) with the value for Source 1. In this mode, a disconnectrequest will always result in a connection to Source 1.

When bit 5 is OFF, the SANDARTOLXY will make no internal substitutions forthe disconnect code; the destination will be disconnected from all sources.

121


Three-DigitFormatting (SW1

Pole 6)

The SW1 Pole 6 bit provides a selectable parameter “native” to Sandar, whichallows you to specify how many digits (2 or 3) with which values for Matrix andStatus Response messages are formatted. The factory default is to set this bit tothe ON position.

When bit 6 is ON, source and destination values will be formatted with 3 digits(for example: 001).

Here is an example of a Status response message formatted in 3-digitmode: SA:001,002,003,004,005,006,007,008.

Here is an example of a Matrix message formatted in 3-digit mode:M001:001,002,003,004,005,006,007,008.

When bit 6 is OFF, source and destination values will be formatted with 2 digits(for example: 01).



Device IDs (SW1Poles 7 and 8)

The SW1 Poles 7 and 8 provides a selectable address range. Sandar protocolsrequire a device to have two addresses starting at the value 8200. The addressesare referred to as the Poll Address (which is always odd) and the Data Address(which is always even).

The Harris Device ID (which is seen by Harris products on the X-Y bus) is theDIP switch value (see Table 4-24 on page 121).

The Poll Address of the P12×1-SP is the constant value 8200 added to the DIPswitch value selected (see Table 4-24 on page 121).

The Data Address is equal to the Poll Address plus 1 (see Table 4-24 onpage 121).

Table 4-24 on page 121 shows SW1 poles 7 and 8 DIP switch settings withcorresponding Harris device IDs, Poll Addresses, and Data Addresses.

GVGTEN-XL™

Control ofHarris

Routers:GVG TEN-XL


Use the GVG TEN-XL1 configuration in conjunction with a Harris routing switcherto allow control of the switcher via automation system software written for GVGTEN-XL equipment. In this application, the P12×1-SP translates from Grass Valleyprotocol to the protocol required by the Harris routing switcher.

GVG TEN-XL requires an address in order to perform switches. Since the GVGTEN-XL SPT is designed for the Panacea Lite routing switcher series, the addressmust reflect the Panel ID scheme used in the Panacea Lite routing switcher. Theaddress must be synchronized between the GVG TEN-XL controller and thePanacea Lite routing switcher. The SPT merely decodes incoming addresses. Validaddresses are 6 bits in length. Figure 4-69 and Figure 4-70 show the location ofthe DIP switch on the Panacea Lite back panel.

Figure 4-69 DIP Switch Location (-A2, -V, -VA2, -S, -SAEB, -HS, -HSAEB)

Figure 4-70 DIP Switch Location (-HSAEC, -SAEC)

Figure 4-75 on page 137 shows the DIP switch settings for the GVG TEN-XLsubmodule. Figure 4-71 shows an example of the panel ID DIP switch settings onthe Panacea Lite router. You will need to set the DIP switches on both thesubmodule and the router for this SPT to operate properly.

Figure 4-71 shows an example of the DIP switch settings for a panel ID thatrepresents the following elements: Video Level = 4; Audio Level = 5; andDestination Offset = 8.

1 The GVG TEN-XL routing switcher, and corresponding router interface and automation sys-tem software, are products of Grass Valley Group, a subsidiary of Thomson Broadcast Sys-tems.


131


Video Level = 4Audio Level = 5

Level Control determines which levels will be affected by this submodule.

The first, or lowest, consecutive level set on the DIP switch is assigned tothe video level.

The next consecutive level set on the DIP switch, plus all other levels set inconsecutive order, are assigned and follow the audio level.

In this example, poles 1 and 4 are ON; so the first, or video, level is assigned toLevel 4. The next, or audio, level is assigned to Level 5.

Destination Offset = 8

Destination Offset offset the destinations from 0 to 64 using binary code.

Definition of theTEN-XL SMPTE

Protocol

Figure 4-72 on page 134 shows the State Diagram used to define the SMPTEprotocol. The following subsections explain this protocol.

Figure 4-72 SMPTE Protocol State Diagram

GVG TEN-XL SMPTE protocol is a binary protocol. Table 4-27 provides a listing ofseveral of the commands used in this protocol.

A Note on StandardReserved Words

The TEN-XL SMPTE protocol uses a number of standard reserved words such asESC, ACK and NAK. Be careful not to confuse these words with the standard ASCIIdefinition of the reserved words.

In TEN-XL SMPTE protocol, the following definitions are used:

The BREAK character is a special attention character with the following format:

Table 4-28 SMPTE Reserved Words

Reserved Word TEN-XL SMPTE Definition

ESC 0x03

ACK 0x04

NAK 0x05

Figure 4-73 Definition of a BREAK Character

Exceptions toTEN-XL SMPTE

Protocol

Due to hardware differences between Panacea Lite routers and TEN-XL routers,there are differences in the Panacea Lite implementation.

1 Source Numbers for READ and WRITE commands: The Panacea Lite seriessupports more inputs (up to 12) than the TEN-XL (up to 10 inputs) routers. Toprovide access to sources beyond 10, the use of the data byte has beenexpanded.

2 Since the Panacea Lite does not support power supply status reporting, thePOWER SUPPLY STATUS byte of the READ sequence [PS] will always return0x00.

NOTE: [ADDR] is transmitted as two bytes. If [ADDR] is 0x80A0, then itwould be sent as 0x80, 0xA0, where 0x80 is [ADDRHI] and 0xA0 is[ADDRLO].

B Control PanelInstallation andOperation

Figure B-1 P12×1-CP: Panacea Lite Local Control Panel

Figure B-2 P12×1-RCP: Panacea Lite Remote Control Panel

The optional Panacea Lite control panels have 12 source buttons to 1 destinationwith breakaway button. It is available in a local control version (see Figure B-1)and a remote control version (see Figure B-2). Both panels add a simplebreakaway capability. “Operation in Follow” consists of pressing the buttoncorresponding to the appropriate system input. The selected signal is then routedto the system output for the panel. Breakaway is performed by pressing theappropriate level button and the input button. This sends the selected input signalon the selected level to the output. The panel remains in the breakaway mode untilboth breakaway mode buttons are depressed simultaneously (see Figure B-6 onpage 170 descriptions of control panel button functions). The destination and thefirst level controlled by each control panel is set on the DIP switches on the back ofthe Panacea Lite frame. For DIP switch settings, see Figure B-7 on page 171(P12×1-CP) and Figure B-8 on page 172 (P12×1-RCP).

Appendix BControl Panel Installation and Operation

Installing aP12×1-CP

Control Panel

CAUTION: The P12×1-CP control panel will not communicateproperly unless at least one end of the X-Y bus is terminated.

1 Unscrew the screws on the top of the Panacea Lite frame, and then removethe frame top from the frame body. Set these screws aside, as you will needthem later.

2 Unscrew the two screws attaching the front blank assembly to the frame. (Thescrews in the front panel are captive. Do not separate them from the frontpanel.)

3 Gently pull the blank front panel away from the frame.

4 Plug the ribbon cable on the P12×1-CP control panel to the connector on thecore routing module. Make sure that the colored wire on the ribboncable faces up (see Figure B-3).

Figure B-3 Plugging in the P12×1-CP Ribbon Cable

NOTE: You may need to loosen the front panel screws so that the frametop will fall flush with the panel front.

5 Align the P12×1-CP control panel with the frame body.

6 Tighten the screws on the front of the panel. As you tighten the screws, thefront module will be pulled tight to the frame body.


8 Connect the power input receptacle on the frame to its power sources.

9 Between the control panel’s top and bottom function keys you will find thekey brightness adjustment (see Figure B-6 on page 170). This adjustmentcontrols the light intensity of all of the control panel keys. To adjust the keylight intensity, use a small flat-head screwdriver to turn the brightness screwclockwise (brighter) or counter-clockwise (dimmer).


167


Installing aP12×1-RCP

Control Panel

The P12×1-RCP control panel has the same pre-installation requirements as aPanacea Lite routing switcher. Follow the steps outlined in the following sections tocomplete the pre-installation procedures:

Ensuring Adequate Rack Space on page 18

Ensuring Proper Temperature and Ventilation on page 18

Meeting Electrical Requirements on page 19

To connect a P12×1-RCP unit to a Panacea routing switcher, you will need aregular cable with BNC connectors at both ends.

1 Complete all pre-installation procedures.

2 Make any DIP switch configuration changes you desire (see Choosing theAppropriate Configuration Mode on page 170 and P12×1-RCP DIPSwitch Configuration on page 172).

3 Connect one BNC connector to the X-Y port on the Panacea Lite routingswitcher back module.

4 Connect the other BNC connector to the BNC port on the P12×1-RCP.

5 Terminate any unused X-Y ports. The P12×1-RCP control panel will notcommunicate properly unless at least one end of the X-Y bus isterminated.

6 Mount the control panel in the proper rack (the procedure is the same as theone described in Installing a Panacea Lite Router on page 20)

7 Connect the power input receptacles on both frame and control panel to theirpower sources.

8 Between the control panel’s top and bottom function keys you will find thekey brightness adjustment (see Figure B-6 on page 170). This adjustmentcontrols the light intensity of all of the control panel keys. To adjust the keylight intensity, use a small flat-head screwdriver to turn the brightness screwclockwise (brighter) or counter-clockwise (dimmer).


168


Installing KeyCap Labels

Panacea Lite control panels are shipped without labels on the front panel key caps.A key cap disassembly tool and a sheet of label inserts are included for yourconvenience. These label inserts, or any customer artwork printed on translucentmaterial, can be installed in the front panel lamps.

Follow these steps to disassemble and reassemble key cap labels.

Disassembly

Figure B-4 Disassembly

1 Pull the key cap off the front of the control panel.

2 Hook the disassembly tool under the opposite corners of the key cap body.

3 Hold the clear outer lens in one hand while you use the disassembly tool topull the white key cap body from the outer lens.

Reassembly Two notches on the back of the lens cap assembly fit into two notches on theinside of the switch body on the front panel board. Make sure the artwork’s topfaces one of these two notches.


169


Figure B-5 Reassembly

1 Remove the fresnel lens from inside the key cap outer lens.

2 Remove desired label artwork from the sheet provided, or use your ownartwork (reproduced on transparent material).

3 Fit the artwork into the outer lens.

4 Snap the fresnel lens into the fitted side of the key cap body (the curved sideof the lens should face the inside of the key cap body). Make sure the face ofthis new assembly is flat.

5 Fit the key cap body assembly into the outer lens.

6 Reinstall the lens cap assembly onto the front panel.

7 If you have not already done so, adjust the panel key light intensity. (See thefinal step in Installing a P12×1-CP Control Panel on page 166 or inInstalling a P12×1-RCP Control Panel on page 167 for instructions.)


170


Choosing theAppropriate

Configura-tion Mode

Choosing which configuration mode to use will depend on which features aredesired from the control panel.

DIP switch configuration mode is ideal in situations where complex mapping ofsources and destinations is not required. Configuration is achieved by setting asmall number of DIP switches located on the rear of the Panacea Lite frame.

See Figure B-7 on page 171 for the P12×1-CP DIP switch configuration.

See Figure B-8 on page 172 for the P12×1-RCP DIP switch configuration.

Figure B-6 summarizes the features of the P12×1-CP router control panel.Configuration capabilities of the Panacea Lite local and remote control panels areas follows:

Assign Sources — Assigns Sources consecutively from Source 1

Breakaway Operation — Allows you to change a source on a selected Levelwithout affecting sources already connected on other Levels (see page 175)

Figure B-6 Control Panel Operational Summary

Operation NOTE: Read the section titled P12×1-CP DIP Switch Configuration(page 171) to verify that your P12×1-CP panel is properly configured. Readthe section titled “P12×1-RCP DIP Switch Configuration” (page 172) toverify that your P12×1-RCP panel is properly configured.

Operation for the Panacea Lite control panels is summarized in Figure B-9.

Figure B-9 P12×1-CP DIP Switch Mode Operational Summary

Source Select NOTE: In a multi-level routing system, only the levels defined by thecontrol panel’s Level DIP switch will be affected by pressing a Source Selectkey.

Each Source Select key (numbered 1 to 12) represents a source which can beswitched (connected) to the destination. The panel will indicate which source isconnected to the destination by turning on the light on the Source Select key forthe source that is currently connected.

NOTE: This procedure is the same for both local and remote controlpanels.

Figure B-10 Selecting Sources


174


Destination Lock NOTE: This procedure is the same for both local and remote controlpanels.

The Destination Lock key is used to lock and unlock the destination. When adestination is locked, sources cannot be selected from this or any other controlpanel on the control network. The actual status of a destination lock is stored inthe router frame rather than in the control panel, thus ensuring that once locked, adestination cannot be changed by any panel.

The Destination Lock key is lit if the currently selected destination is locked;therefore, the control panel’s destination is locked.

Pressing the Destination Lock key when it is not lit will lock the destination.

Pressing a Destination Lock key when it is lit will attempt to unlock thedestination. (Whether or not it succeeds in unlocking the destination dependson which panel originally locked the destination.)

Figure B-11 summarizes the conditions under which a destination can beunlocked.

Figure B-11 Operational Summary: Destination Locks

Panel Enable NOTE: This procedure is the same for both local and remote controlpanels..

The Panel Enable key enables and disables the panel. The Panel Enable key disablesall other keys on the panel until it is pressed again to enable the panel to function.

Previous State ofDestination Lock Effect of Pressing Lock Key

NOT LOCKED (not lit) Destination becomes locked, Lock key lights up

LOCKED (lit up) Destination becomes unlocked, Lock key turns off


175


Figure B-12 Panel Enable Key

If the Panel Enable key is lit, the panel is enabled.

The panel will operate normally.

Source Select and Destination Lock keys function as described above.

You can make changes from this particular panel.

If the Panel Enable key is not lit, the panel is disabled. It locks all the keys on thepanel so that they cannot be reset.

The panel will not allow changing crosspoints or locking/unlockingdestinations.

Pressing the Lock key will have no effect.

Pressing a Source Selection key will not cause a crosspoint switch.

BreakawayOperation

NOTE: This procedure is the same for both local and remote controlpanels.

Unlike most other control panels, the Panacea Lite control panels performbreakaway operations. The default starting level is level 0, which is typicallyassigned to Video. The next level by default is level 1, which is typically assigned toAudio. These examples will use the reference to the first starting level as Video andthe next level as Audio. However, the DIP switches on the back panel of thePanacea Lite frame may be configured to assign a Level.

Figure B-13 on page 176 shows how to operate the P12×1-CP or the P12×1-RCPin one of these modes:

AFV (Audio Follow Video) switching

Breaking away Audio

Changing the source on the Video Level


176


Figure B-13 Control Panel Breakaway Operations

There are two additional sets of operating circumstances for the P12×1-RCP only:AFV mode and Audio Only mode.

In AFV mode, the buttons for the video level and its corresponding source will be litsteadily. The buttons for audio and all sources that differ from the source on thevideo level will flash.


177


The example shown in Figure B-14 shows how the RCP buttons would light up inthe following circumstances:

The P12×1-RCP controls levels 0, 2, 3, and 5.

Level 0 is set to source 3.




Figure B-14 Example of AFV Mode only for P12×1-RCP

In Audio Select mode, the button for the source corresponding to the first audiolevel will be lit steadily. The buttons for all sources that differ from the source onthe first level will flash.

The example shown in Figure B-15 shows how the RCP buttons would light up inthe following circumstances:

The P12×1-RCP controls levels 0, 2, 3, and 5.
