9.6.1.3 Local Route
The
<LOCAL ROUTE>
button is only visible on systems set to operate with a ‘Local’ router.
From this screen, the communication link between the controller and ‘local’ router can be
specified. This can be set using the
<RS232>
or
<RS422>
buttons.
The third button on the screen allows the local router type to be defined. The button toggles
between the two options,
<TM24>
and
<HD16>
, enabling the switcher to operate with either
a 24 or 16 input router. This feature permits the system to be configured as an SD system,
using a 24 input router,
<TM24>
, or an HDTV system using a 16 input router,
<HD16>
.
By defining a router type, sources are ‘mapped’ according to the router size, to the correct
buttons on the panel. The 24 input router uses inputs 1-12 for the prime sources and 21-24
as the additional four Aux bus sources, while with a 16 input router, no mapping is required.
