Connection for married operation:
Connect all units in daisy-chain fashion via the 9 way ‘ D’ type male connector at
the rear of the unit using 4C014 married cable or a cable made up of ‘ D’ type
female connectors connected in parallel as below. When a video and audio
Routemaster(s) are married, the video unit acts as the master. Remote or local
control should be connected to the video unit. If being married to other
component levels ensure the unit designated Y/G is connected appropriately so
that sync is derived from the correct level.
Connection for remote control:
16x1 Routemasters can have local and/or remote control. 5S2925 16 button-per-
crosspoint panels are normally used for remote control. (If the XY remote control
panel is being used, please refer to section 4.3.)
Control panels are connected to 16x1 Routemasters using the female 9 way ‘ D’
type connector on the rear of the unit. Use control cable 4C009, which is available
in a variety of lengths from 10 to 50 metres. (Alternatively a control cable can be
made from a 9 way ‘ D’ type male and 15 way ‘ D’ type female using the
connections given below. Note that screened cable must be used, with the screen
connected to the shell of the ‘ D’ type connectors at both ends to meet EMC
requirements.)
For more complex married systems with multiple levels of video and/or audio, the
remote control panel should be connected to the composite video matrix (or the
Y/G matrix for component video).
