Overview
The BKS-R3210 X-Y Control Unit switches signals
(called source) fed to one of the switchers such as a
DVS-V6464B Video Routing Switcher, a DVS-A3232
Audio Routing Switcher, a DVS-TC3232 Time Code
Routing Switcher, etc., connected to the S-BUS data
link, and supplies the selected signal to the designated
output (called a destination). A signal is selected from
among the 512 input signals which have been defined
using a control terminal connected to the primary
station of the S-BUS data link and output to one of the
512 destinations which also have been defined using
the control terminal. The names of the selected source
and destination are shown on the display on the front
panel.
Features
Up to 512 sources and 512 destinations
controllable
The BKS-R3210 allows you to select an input signal
(source) and designates the output (destination) using a
source name and destination name which have been
defined on the control terminal with the type name and
numbers from 001 to 999, for example VTR125. A
maximum of 512 source names and 512 destination
names can be defined on the control terminal.
Two selection methods; type-number
selection and direct selection
The BKS-R3210 selects a source or destination by
designating the type name and number (type-number
selection) or by pressing a source select button (direct
selection). The selection method is defined at the
control terminal in advance.
In type-number selection, a single BKS-R3210 allows
selection of up to 512 sources and 512 destinations,
while in direct selection, a combination with a mother
unit and daughter units allows selection of up to 512
sources and 512 destinations.
Large select buttons displaying their
functions with different colors
The large select buttons on the front panel are designed
for easy operation. They light in green or amber,
dimly or brightly to show their functions and the
currently selected source and destination.

1) Levels
To handle different kinds of signals simultaneously, it is
necessary to use a routing switcher for each type of signal,
and these types are called "levels." For example, a
Buttons to select sources and destinations
All select buttons on the front panel can be used as
source select buttons or destination select buttons.
Your setting on the control terminal defines their
functions. The defined function for a button is
indicated by the color, green for source and amber for
destination.
Displaying a source or destination name on
the buttons
The source and destination name defined with the
control terminal can be shown on a key label on a
button. You can easily replace the key label so that an
updated indication can follow any setting change on
the control terminal.
Expanding the number of controllable sources
and destinations
You can use multiple units of the BKS-R1607/R1608/
R3209/R3210 in combination so as to work as one unit
to expand the number of sources and destinations to be
controlled. One switching system can have up to ten
sets of combinations like this, and up to 253 control
units can be used in one set. The maximum number of
control units which can be used in one switching
system is also 253.
Route function to show the expanded sources
When a switcher such as a DVS-7000 that does not
have a cascade function, is required to be expanded the
number of sources, the route function makes it possible
to detect a crosspoint in the expanded switcher, and to
display the selected source name in the display
window.
Controllable up to eight levels
Up to eight-level control is possible when assigned on
the control terminal or with the LEVEL button.
Different sources for levels selectable (break-
away function)
The BKS-R3210 allows you to select and display
different sources for levels. This is called the break-
away function.
recording to be made on a VTR requires the use of five
signal levels: video, audio 1, audio 2, time code and remote-
control signals.
