Remote Allocation of Aux Sources
The four auxiliary outputs may have their sources allocated from one or more remote panels rather
than from the switcher control panel. Snell & Wilcox do not manufacture a panel for this function
but the Quartz Electronics CP3201 - S7 Remote Panel can be used as described below.
There are three methods of using the Quartz CP3201 - S7 remote panel to control Aux outputs -
1.
A panel connected to one switcher mainframe serial port to control all four Aux outputs.
2.
A panel connected to a switcher mainframe port for each Aux output to be controlled.
3.
Two or more panels connected to one switcher mainframe ports to control all four Aux
outputs. This method requires some simple interface equipment being made.
Note. The Quartz Remote Panel used for each of these methods MUST be the -S7 version which
uses an Open Protocol and is the only Quartz protocol understood by the switcher.
Quartz panel button functions
The panel picture below shows the Quartz panel button allocation. The rightmost four
buttons select the Aux output when the switcher port is set to Aux Selectable (method 1 &
3). The leftmost 36 buttons select which source is allocated to the Aux.
1. All Aux O/Ps controlled from one panel.
The Quartz CP3201-S7 remote panel has 40 push button switches, four of them are used
to select the required Aux output and the others to select the source.
The Quartz panel is connected to any of the four RS-422 serial ports on the switcher
mainframe using a standard RS-422 cable. The selected port has to have its protocol set
to “Aux Selectable” in the Config - System - Port Protocols menu.
To select a source for an Aux O/P, press the button relating to the Aux, then press the
button relating to the source.
Note. The Aux selection is a latching function and so remains selected until a different Aux is
selected.
2. A remote panel for each Aux O/P.
In this scenario a Quartz panel is required for each Aux O/P to be remotely controlled.
Each panel is connected to a switcher serial port using a standard RS-422 cable and that
ports protocol is set to the applicable Aux O/P (1 to 4).
