Introduction
Overview
The default functions include:
Source Mode
Destination Mode
Source Select
Destination Select
Panel lock
Destination Lock
Level 1–Level 4
In the default function set, four of the buttons are unused.
When the panel is configured in CRSC (Compact Router System Configurator), all the buttons of
the panel are configurable and support salvos, which are not available in the default function
set.
At the rear, unlike other compact routers, the CR6400 has 4 slots for removable (serviceable) I/O
cards, and slots for a crosspoint card and a control card.
Because all the cards are removable, they are field-replaceable. The CR6400 routers also have a
removable fan unit, accessible through the front of the router.
The router, when it contains one or more 3Gig cards, is considered a
CR6464-3Gig
router and it
switches video. The router, when it contains one or more AES cards, is considered a
CR6464-AES
router and it switches AES audio.
Without any I/O cards installed, the router is considered “undefined.”
At this release, the matrix size is fixed at 64×64. Each I/O card provides 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
Compact Router Background
The CR series includes 1RU and 2RU compact routers, compact control panels, and “remote
panel modules.”
The 1RU routers have switching matrices up to 16×16 and the 2RU routers (other than the
CR6400 routers) have switching matrices up to 32×32.
The CR series includes many different routers that switch different signal formats: SDI (3Gig, HD,
SD), AES, analog audio, and analog video. The CR series also includes machine control routers.
The CR series includes 3 “clean and quiet” (CQX) routers and a CQX control panel.
Please refer to the
Compact Router User’s Guide
for a complete list of the other compact routers
and panels, and a description of each.
General Compact Router Usage
There are several different ways to use compact routers in general:
•
As a single stand-alone router with a “captive” control panel or with automation.
•
In a network of stand-alone routers, with one or more captive panels, and with or without
automation.
•
In a CRSC network of routers and remote panels, with or without automation. Here, the pan-
els and routers (including CR6400 routers and panels) are configured using CRSC.
