Digital Broadcast Production Console
External Control
The Hydra2 router allows for cross-
point matrix routing of Hydra inputs
direct to Hydra outputs without using
console DSP or control surface
space. Control over input to output
cross-point routing can be from the
console PC, a standalone PC running
the Hydra2 Organiser or via 3rd party
controllers supporting the SW-P-08
protocol.
As well as physical Hydra2 I/O ports, the
H2O application and SW-P-08 controllers
also have access to Hydra Patchbays,
enabling them to change sources on
console DSP inputs and access to
console DSP outputs.
The following 3rd party SW-P-08 systems
have been proven with, and are supported
by Calrec:
• L-S-B VSM
• Colledia BNCS
• Grass Valley Jupiter
• Evertz
• NVision
• Axon Cortex
• Harris Edge
Please refer to the relevant
manufacturer’s guidance for specific
information relating to their products.
Connection
The 3rd party SW-P-08 controller
should be connected to the single front
panel RJ45 'Ethernet' on the main (not
expansion) router card. A secondary,
backup connection can be made to the
secondary main router card. Systems
requiring both SW-P-08 and Ember
control need to use the same single
Ethernet port and therefore an Ethernet
switch is required. The two control
systems are separated by using different
TCP socket port settings.
On Hydra2 networks with more than
one processing core, the SW-P-08
connections should be made to the
router cards in the processing core
configured as the Master Router. Slaved
processing cores do not support SW-P-08
connections. Connections made to the
Master Router can be given access to any
I/O on the network, irrespective of which
processing core the I/O is connected to.
The Ethernet port on the router cards is a
100MHz connection which uses standard
Ethernet straight-through or cross-over
pin-outs and pairings. Screened Cat5e
cable should be used to guarantee
performance.
The default IP address of the SW-P-08
ports are the same as that of the router
cards themselves - xxx.yyy.5.0 for the
primary and xxx.yyy.6.0 for the secondary.
xxx.yyy is different for each processing
core and can be checked using the Calrec
Program Updater application on the PC
associated with the core in question.
The user must be logged into Windows
as
CalrecAdmin
with the password
calrec
in order to run the Calrec Program
Updater which can be found in the Calrec
folder in the Windows Start menu. Upon
launch, the application checks for the
presence of local hardware and reports
back with IP addresses. All hardware
associated with the same processing
core has the same first two bytes of IP
address. The router cards themselves can
be identified in the list by their unit number
being prefixed with 'RY'. IP addresses for
the SW-P-08 connections can be aliased
if required to make them more suitable for
use with the 3rd party network, however
this will require a Calrec Engineer to carry
out and as such should be discussed prior
to commissioning.
SW-P-08 REMOTE CONTROL
Note, as well as addressing the
routers by IP, the SW-P-08 controller
needs to be configured to use the
TCP socket port of 61000.
Configuration
SW-P-08 configuration requires the use
of the Hydra2 Organiser GUI. Please refer
to the H2O user guide for information.
