A Triton-to-Jupiter Serial Control Kit, which is available from Grass Valley,
includes a B&B Electronics 422COR RS-232/RS-422 Converter, a B&B Uni-
versal Power Supply, a 25 ft. (7.6 m) VM/CM to Converter Cable, and a 5
ft. (7.6 m) Converter to Triton Cable.
Multiple Triton switchers are connected with a MIDI bus loop (as detailed
in the Triton manual). In a typical video/audio switching application, each
chassis is set with a unique Router Address from 0 to 15 (DIP switches 1-4
on the rear panel). Split switching is possible, but only between chassis. For
example, Audio Left/Right can be split from Video, but Audio Left cannot
be split from Audio Right.
In RGB or YUV applications where all three signals must always switch
together, the Router Address should be set to the same value on each
chassis. Up to 20 chassis can be connected in one MIDI loop.
Some Triton switchers have front-panel controls. These controls will
operate normally when the router is connected to a Jupiter system but
Jupiter 6.0 and after software is required in order for Triton status to be indi-
cated on Jupiter panels.
All RS-232/422 connections should be complete and all MIDI bus loop con-
nections should be made and terminated at the originating device before
applying power to the Triton router.
