SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED ROUTER
An integrated router may by used with the HD1012 system to increase the number of available
sources. This router may be the Snell & Wilcox HD1132 or a supported third party router. When
using an integrated router the switcher mainframe inputs become bus inputs rather than source
inputs. Outputs 1 to 12 of the router are connected to inputs 1 to 12 of the switcher mainframe and
outputs 13 to 16 of the router are connected to Aux 5 to Aux 8 on the switcher mainframe to
provide inputs for Aux outputs 1 to 4. Router outputs 17 to 20 are the (untimed) Aux outputs 5 to 8.
If it is required to be able to select Program, Clean Program, Preview 1 or Preview 2 on the Aux
outputs these signals must be connected, in the above order, to the four highest number inputs of
the router, i.e., Preview 2 to the highest number input.
NOTE.
If the router being used has more than 20 outputs an offset may be set to move the outputs being
used with the switcher to a contiguous block of 20 starting at a number other than 1. This offset
facility does not apply with the Snell & Wilcox HD1132 Router.
Setting the System for a Router
The router is controlled from the switcher via a RS422 link. The router control protocol has to be
allocated to a switcher comm port in the Configure - Port Protocols menu, any of the four comm
ports may be used although comm port 1 is normal. For the HD1132 router set “S&W Router” to
comm port 1 (
do not set “S&W Router No Aux”
). For supported third party routers see the table
below.

ProBel Router
Having set the router protocol the size of the router has to be set in the Configure - Router Setup
menu.
In order to be able to select the extra sources the switcher control panel keymap may be changed
to allow direct selection of, up to, 36 sources on a bus although this would mean losing the
framestores and matte, wash and black. A number of alternative keymaps are available from Snell
& Wilcox Ltd, contact Snell & Wilcox Technical Support department (see inside front cover for
contact details).
