26. Connecting to FOR-A MFR Series Router
The switcher can connect and control a FOR-A MFR series routing switcher. Router crosspoint
switches can be performed on the switcher's control panel by assigning the router control to a user
button.
In addition to the router control, video titles on the router can be handed to the switcher. If the
switcher accepts video signals from the router and their title links (MFR link) are enabled, Video
names on the switcher control panel are changed in accordance with crosspoint switches on the
router. When an MFR series is connected to the switcher, router control commands and title data
can be transferred through a single RS-422 connection. Refer to the MFR series router manual for
details on router settings.
Manageable number of sources, destinations and levels are:
Level 16
Source 1,024
Destination 256
Connect an MFR series to an RS-422 port (from 1 to 4) on the HVS-390HS using an RS-422
straight-through cable. Then configure the RS-422 port for the router control. Crosspoint switches
can be performed by using a user button, AUX1-8 and KEY/AUX bus buttons.
