CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS
Ports
The Switcher Mainframe has Ethernet, Serial and Tally & GPI I/O ports.
The Ethernet ports are used for connection between the mainframe and the control panel, to
connect to an alternate mainframe and for FTP connection to provide the transfer of Stills.
Serial Ports 1 to 4 are RS422 ports and can be assigned a communications protocol in order to
communicate with number of external devices. Serial Port 5 (RS232) is for diagnostic purposes
only. The protocols used by the serial ports (1 to 4) are assigned in the
Configure - System - Port
Protocols
sub-menu (see User Manual). For most applications a simple 9-way pin-to-pin cable will
be sufficient to connect to an editor, VTR or other device.
32 Tally outputs and eight assignable GPI inputs are provided on the 3 off 25way D-type
connectors.
FTP - Connecting to a PC
A computer may be either connected directly to the switcher mainframe or via a network hub.
If connecting directly use a cross wired (swap) Ethernet cable to connect a computer network card
to the 10 Base-T connector on the rear of the switcher mainframe.
If connecting via network hub use a standard (pin to pin) Ethernet cable from the hub to the
switcher mainframe 10 Base-T connector.
GVG 100
This editor protocol allows control from an editor capable of driving a GVG100 or 110 switcher.
The main portion of the interface is mapped onto the SD1012’s main mixing bus. The DSK and
Fade-to-Black sections are also driven.
Wipe numbers 100 to 103 trigger the following functions:
100 - Non Additive Mix.
101 - SUPERmix.
102 - DVE BacKGrounD transition.
103 - All enabled TIMELINEs.
Note that not all editors will allow a wipe number of greater than 99 to be specified when running
GVG-100 protocol. In particular on the Sony BVE9x0 and BVE9x00 editors a wipe number greater
than 99 means "Reverse Wipe". However on the Sony BVE2000 editor negative numbers are used
to mean "Reverse Wipe" and therefore wipe numbers of 100 or greater can be used.
Learn and Recall of DMEMs (E-MEMS) to and from the hard disk in the switcher is supported.
