  • Page 43: Glossary

    RCP-CSD Glossary (Revised: 05-02-00) All Call A diagnostic procedure that causes a single physical input to be switched to a range of physical outputs, for a specified component, with a single command. Example: Assume the existence of a component RED which spans physical inputs 1 through 8 and physical outputs 1 through 8 on a routing switcher.
  • Page 44: Block

    RCP-CSD Block A group of contiguous crosspoints in a routing switcher which form the smallest unit on which confidence is checked. Because of the nature of the circuits involved, individual crosspoints cannot be checked to see if they are operating correctly. Instead, the control circuitry shared by groups of crosspoints is monitored.
  • Page 45: Chop Rate

    RCP-CSD Chop Rate The parameter used to control the switching rate when chopping two signals. The signal switching rate is determined as follows: Video Frame Rate (Frames/Se cond) Signal Switching Rate (Switches/ Second) Chop Rate For example, a chop rate of 1 used with NTSC signals (30 Frames/Second) will cause the signals to be switched 30 times per second.
  • Page 46: Confidence

    RCP-CSD Confidence A property of a block, that indicates whether or not the circuitry controlling the crosspoints in the block, is functioning correctly. When block checking determines that a block is not functioning correctly, the block, and all crosspoints contained in it, are said to have confidence errors.
  • Page 47: Data Key List

    RCP-CSD Data Key List A named list of the functions assigned to each data key on a panel. Multiple panels may share a data key list as long as they are the same type of panel. Different panel types may not use the same data key list.
  • Page 48: Diagonal

    RCP-CSD Diagonal A diagnostic procedure that causes a range of physical inputs to be switched to a range of physical outputs, in a diagonal pattern starting from a specified coordinate and continuing until the either the inputs or outputs are exhausted, for a specified component, with a single command.
  • Page 49: Index

    RCP-CSD Index The last portion of a source, destination, or reentry name. Indices provide an easy means of differentiating similar switching system devices. Each source, destination or reentry name may use 0, 1 or 2 indices. If no index is used, “00” is the default but is not displayed.
  • Page 50 RCP-CSD Figure B Glossary...
  • Page 51: Level

    RCP-CSD Level A group of related components that are switched together. A level is sometimes referred to as a level of control and is the basic granularity seen by a user. The components which comprise a level will always be switched together except when performing diagnostic operations.
  • Page 52: Lock

    RCP-CSD Lock A property placed on a destination that prevents all panels and ports from taking a switch on that destination, including the panel or port that locked it. Locks may be cleared by any panel or port that has the same requester code and lock priority as the panel that locked the destination, that has a higher lock priority, or that has a lock priority of 0 (zero).
  • Page 53: Logical Output

    RCP-CSD Logical Output See: Logical Input. Logical Switch The Win3500Plus command that switches a logical input to a logical output. See also: Physical Switch. Matrix Breakup The division of a single physical matrix into one or more components. Matrix breakup allows complex signal types to reside within a single physical matrix. For example, a video matrix is often broken into R, G, and B components.
  • Page 54: Ntsc

    RCP-CSD Figure B Strobe numbers are used to introduce a third dimension into matrix space. Every routing switcher in a switching system is assigned to a strobe. In systems using more than one strobe (and, therefore having three-dimensional matrix space), crosspoint coordinates are given in the form (input,output) on strobe x.
  • Page 55: Output Offset

    RCP-CSD Output Offset In matrix space, the amount by which the origin of a component on strobe x, is offset from the origin of strobe x, measured along the output axis. The coordinates of crosspoints in matrix space are determined by the strobe they reside on, and their input and output numbers.

    RCP-CSD Salvo Include List A named list of the salvos a specific control panel is authorized to control. A salvo include list may be shared by multiple panels. Salvo include list names are one to eight characters in length and are constructed using uppercase letters, numbers, and spaces.
  • Page 62: Soft Key

    RCP-CSD Soft Key A special type of data key whose assigned function may be changed locally by a panel user. Win3500Plus is used to designate a data key as either a soft source key or a soft destination key. The assignment of a specific source or destination to the soft key may then be made with either Win3500Plus, or locally at the panel by using Store Mode.
  • Page 63: Status Level

    RCP-CSD Status Level The default level to be used when displaying the status of a destination receiving signals from multiple sources, on a panel in all levels mode (ALL LEVS). One function of the LCD display on a panel is to show which source is currently switched to a selected destination.
