Starting Up
In order to install the YG2 / YS2 Mini - YGDAI cards, proceed as follows:
Make sure that the power is turned off. Loosen the screws that hold the slot cover and remove the slot cover.
Keep the slot cover in a safe place. Match the edges of the card with the guardrails inside the slot and insert the
card. Push the card all the way into the slot ensuring that the connector at the end of the card is correctly mated
with the connector inside the slot. Use the screws included with the card to fasten the card in place. Malfunctions
or incorrect operation may occur if the card is not fixed correctly.
Hardware Connection
To get the YG2 / YS2 card system going, please be sure that the main power of the console is turned off before
inserting the cards into the Mini - YGDAI slots. Please refer to your consoles manual for detailed information.
Interconnect all cards with the provided CAT5 cables using the SUB / MAIN interfaces as shown in the chapter
”Optocore Network Setup”. Connect the provided TRI-Y cable for the Optocore network setup via USB port. Do
not connect the optical cables yet.
Optocore Network Setup
Before connecting the YG2 card to further Optocore devices by the optical LINK, assure that all devices have a
basic set-up in order to be able to operate correctly. For operation safety reasons, some settings (e.g. “ID”) are
only allowed to be made when locally connected to a device. The best approach to check the settings is to
connect locally to every single device of the Optocore network with a PC using either RS232 or USB connection
(use the provided TRI-Y Cable for USB), run the OPTOCORE CONTROL software and enter menu
SET / LOCAL
SETTINGS
.
The following descriptions only relate to YG2 / YS2 cards settings:
YG2 Card
•
General -> ID:
Set each device in the optical network to a unique ID. Device IDs must be unique in
the entire Optocore network. Set the YG2 card inserted in the main console (when using several
consoles) to ID1 and check the “Master Priority” flag. This determines the card to be the internal word
clock master for the Optocore network.
•
General -> Card ID:
Set the ID to either “MY-16AT emulation” or “MY-8AT emulation” depending on
the standards of the console. Please refer to the chapter “Device Compatibility” which settings apply
for your console.
•
HA Remote via slot:
Choose the device ID and port of the destination device to which the
HA Remote signal should be transmitted. You can only choose the transmit port, the receive port is
assigned automatically. Due to the RS422 standard the two ports are unidirectional. For a bi-
directional communication between the devices one transmit and one receive path has to be
determined. Make sure that both ports of the destination device match the setting of the YG2 card!
•
HA Remote via front-panel-RS422:
If your console does not provide the HA-remote signal on the
console slot, choose the destination device ID and its port, to which the HA-Remote Signal should be
transmitted and apply the HA-remote signal externally using the provided TRI-Y cable You can only
choose the transmit port, the receive port is assigned automatically. Due to the RS422 standard the
two ports are unidirectional. For a bi-directional communication between the devices one transmit and
one receive path has to be determined. Make sure that both ports of the destination device match the
setting of the YG2 card!
•
Ethernet setup:
In order to use the Optocore network for Ethernet transport, the option has to be
activated at every device in the Optocore Network. Currently the Optocore network is capable to
transport three CVBS Video channels or one CVBS Video channel plus 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
when Ethernet transport is activated. For the YG2 card the activation is done by marking the two
boxes “Optocore Ethernet transport” and “Enable local Ethernet”.
•
SUB Setup -> SUB Cards:
Set the number of YS2 cards, you have connected to your YG2 card.
Push button “Write” first, confirm with “OK” and press “Close” to exit the dialog.
