VIVALDI™:
LXYTOBARC
NOTE
: This submodule can also be set up to operate in LSERIAL mode. See
page 42
for more information about LSERIAL mode.
Use the LXYTOBARC configuration with the BARCO VIVALDI system
1
so that each
of the four signals displayed in the VGA output of the VIVALDI will show the name
of the source being displayed. This adds an “under monitor display” capability to
the BARCO VIVALDI system when used with a Harris routing system.
The BARCO VIVALDI protocol is a simple, one-way communications protocol in
which 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 both
the “Address ID” for which the Source Identification (or text) should be set, and
the specific text to be displayed. The names of the sources are downloaded and
stored in the P12×1-SP using RouterMapper
™
software. The P12×1-SP
automatically centers the names in the VIVALDI display.
The VIVALDI unit requires a delay of at least 100ms between each message. Testing
proved that with a delay of 300ms between each message, messages could be
continuously sent to the VIVALDI over an extended period of time without losing
synchronization in the communications between the LXYTOBARC and the VIVALDI
unit.
To configure the router destinations which a VIVALDI display will follow, the
LXYTOBARC simulates an RCP-ABA-XY panel. This allows RouterMapper to assign
and download both the “Status” Source names to be displayed on the VIVALDI,
and the destinations associated with each of the four VIVALDI VGA monitor
windows. To assign the Destinations, configure an RCP-ABA/XY so that the only
destinations assigned are the four destinations to be displayed on the VIVALDI
VGA monitor windows. 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 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” Source
names.
