Synergy Q/MD Engineering Manual (v9.1 MD) Introduction • 1–23
The primary difference between the panels is in the number of source and MLE buttons:
• Synergy 1 Q/MD — the panel includes 16 source buttons plus
SHIFT
.
• Synergy 1.5 Q/MD and 2 Q/MD — each panel includes 17 source buttons plus
SHIFT
,
and a button for
MLE 1
.
• Synergy 2.5 Q/MD — the panel includes 30 source buttons plus
SHIFT
, and buttons for
MLE 1
and
MLE 2
.
The remote panel is connected to the rear of the switcher control panel via a single six-conductor
Telco control cable that can run up to 1000 feet (305 meters) from the control panel. Typical
applications include routing signals to one or more DVE channels, and switching a monitor between
various signals (including MLE outputs) — outputs that are
not the main program output.
Although an unlimited number of Aux panels can be connected to each of the Aux connectors of the
control panel, a
practical limit (and to minimize delay) of 8 Aux panels daisy-chained on each
connector is recommended.
The following features will affect the positioning of remote Aux panels in relation to the control
panel:
• The Assignable Aux panel options include a 33-foot (10 meter) cable, but custom
lengths, up to a maximum of 1000 feet or 305 meters (as limited by RS-422
specifications), between panels is possible. Contact Ross Video for details.
• The communications signal is re-buffered at each Aux panel.
• Aux panel assignments are performed using the control panel and menu system. Refer to
the section “
Setting Up Remote Aux Panels ” on page 11-6 for more information.
Editor and Automation Interface
The Editor and Automation Interface Option allows a Synergy Q/MD switcher to interface with all
popular editing systems. The option itself is comprised of software plus security codes.
Any MLE or combination of MLEs can be controlled using an RS-232 or RS-422 interface and
industry standard GVG 100, 200, or 4000 editor protocol. The editor can be used to read and write
switcher functions including video input selection, pushbutton enable and disable, control settings,
and memory registers. If GPI control is not sufficient, and complete control of all switcher parameters
from an editor is necessary, this option is required. Refer to the section “
General Purpose Interface ”
on page 1-16 for additional details on GPI triggers.
Note
You can control up to 12 Aux Buses from a Remote Aux Panel.
Note The Synergy 1 control panel does not have an Aux Port, instead, a
converter must be installed in Remote Port 5 and this port assigned to
Aux. The converter is included in the Installation Kit.
Note The Assignable remote Aux panels provide 8 GPI input ports per
panel. These GPIs are in addition to those already provided on the
frame. This feature allows the manual override of the Aux panel
selection via GPI trigger. Refer to the section “
Aux Bus Setup ” on
page 11-2 for more information.
