Overview
Use of Multiple Control Units
When you control the routing switcher using the
control unit, the number of controllable sources and
destinations can be expanded by using multiple BKS-
R1617/R3219/R3216/R1621/R1618/R3220 units in
combination. One switching system can have up to ten
sets of multiple control units, and in one set, up to 253
control units can be used. The total number of control
units used in ten sets within one switching system is
also 253.
When using multiple control units in combination, one
is to be set as the mother unit and the others as
daughters on the control terminal. In one combination,
only one unit can be used as the mother unit.
For details on setting a unit as the mother unit or a
daughter unit, refer to the installation manual supplied with
the routing switcher.

Route Function
When you use a switcher B having no cascade function
such as a DVS-7000 and expand the number of sources
by connecting another switcher A, the source name of
switcher B is displayed as a selected source, and not
the source name selected on switcher A. To display
the actually selected source name, you must set the
route function with the control terminal. Then when
you select the crosspoint set on the route function, the
source on switcher A is searched for, and the name is
displayed. For example, when a crosspoint is switched
on switcher A in the figure below, normally IN5
appears as the source name. If the route function has
been set, the source name selected on switcher A
appears.
To activate the route function, set the destination of
switcher A, destination and source of switcher B, and
level. In the case of the figure below, set
"OUT1:OUT2 <IN5 10000000."
When you use the route function, switching is possible
with simple settings. For example, if you select a
source (IN1) for a destination (OUT1) on switcher A,
the crosspoint on switcher B (IN5-OUT2) is
automatically switched.
However, when you select a source (IN1) for a
destination (OUT2) on switcher A, you have to set a
phantom including IN1-OUT1 and IN5-OUT2
previously. Then IN1-OUT2 is displayed if the route
has been set.
For details on setting the route function, refer to the
installation manual supplied with the routing switcher.
Destination offset route
The destination offset route sets the destination to a
substitute parameter such as "(DST + *)," where "*" is
an offset value of the connector number of the
destination. "DST" is automatically substituted with
the destination selected with this unit. This function
makes it possible to use expanded input for multiple
destinations.
