Page 11: Introduction
• All control panels properly configured. Overview The NV5256 is a machine control router — a successor to the NV3256. A machine control router transmits control messages and responses between devices such as VTRs and edit stations. Physically, the NV5256 has an 8RU frame that holds the following items: •... - Page 12 Cards (2) Control Card (diagn. port) Empty Control Card Slot Port I/O Cards (16) Power Supply Module Power Supply Module Figure 2-1.

Page 13: I/O Signals
The Tx-to-Rx connection, of course, depends on the cable. Straight-through cables are consid- ered preferable. Router Configuration The NV5256 router has several configurable options. It supports several signal options that can be configured for each port. The router can be (and must be) configured to operate according to your system constraints. You will need to specify the size of the router matrix, the type of ports, communication parameters, and so on. -
Page 14: Router Expansion
Router Expansion Two NV5256 frames can be connected to create an expanded router. Six expansion ports are at the top right at the rear of the router. There are 6 BNC connections — 3 coming in and 3 going out. -
Page 15: Sms7000
Functions The NV5256 router can be configured with partitions of 4 types. Each partition is considered a physical level. The physical levels can be of 4 “signal types.” The signal types accommodate the different characteristics of Miranda’s NVISION series routers and third-party routers. -
Page 16: Machine Control Broadcast
Any dynamic port connected to a “master” port will be a controlled port. The NV5256 applies logic to the port direction setting when a master port is connected to a dynamic port. In this case, the machine at the dynamic port is always controlled and the machine at the master port is always controlling. -
Page 17: Summary
In general, a controlling machine must connect, through the router, to a controlled machine. That is because Tx must connect to Rx and vice versa. In NV9000-SE Utilities, when you add the NV5256 router to your system, set ‘Signal Type’ to ‘Machine Control’. Also set both ‘Output Protect’ and ‘Output Lock’ to ‘In Server’. - Page 18 Warning: Disconnect power, if it is connected, before mounting the frame in the rack. Warning: The NV5256 draws cooling air from the front through the door and exhausts it at the top rear edge of the frame. Make certain that airflow is not blocked at these locations. If air flow is restricted, overheating may occur.

3. Detail Chapter 3 describes the structure and use of the NV5256 Machine Control Router. It presents the following topics: • Connections • Alarms • Power • I/O Cables • Port Cards • Expansion • Terminators • Jumpers Connections The rear of the router has a bay that holds up to 16 I/O backplanes. Unused backplane slots are gen- erally covered with a plate that improves cooling air flow. -

If you are using the BP-PORT-64 breakout panel, you might need to know the mapping of the sig- nals from the RJ-45 side to the 9-pin (female) side. The breakout panel is RS-422/485 only. See Breakout Panel on page 6 for an illustration. NV5256 Machine Control Router • User’s Guide... -
Page 30: Rs-232 Cables
Any DE9-to-DE9 cables you might use will be straight-through. Port Cards The NV5256 has slots for 16 port I/O cards. Each card supports 16 inputs from its corresponding backplane. There are two types of port cards: • The EM0503-01 module, supporting RS-422/485. -
Page 31: Expansion
Expansion The NV5256 can be expanded to a maximum of 512 ports. To accomplish this, interconnect two NV5256 frames. The frames share each other’s input space. The first frame receives commands from the router control system and acts as the master to the second frame. -
Page 32: The Expansion Card
You can use 75Ω Belden 8281 cable, up to 250 meters, to make these connections. The Expansion Card The NV5256 has 2 slots for expansion cards. A stand-alone router requires no expansion card. One card is required for expansion. The second expansion card provides redundancy. -
Page 33: Terminators
50Ω terminator on each unused 10Base2 connector. Terminators 10Base2 The NV5256 ships with two 50Ω terminators for each frame. The terminators are required for an expanded router. In older routers, termination for a stand-alone router is required. In newer routers, it is not. -

Jumpers not listed should be left in the factory position: Table 3-2. EM0374 Jumpers Jumper Settings J1, J2 Frame-to-frame communication. Leave these jumpers in the 10B2 position. The control card (and therefore the NV5256) does not support SBus yet. -

4. Configuration Chapter 4 describes the structure and use of the NV5256 Machine Control Router. It presents the following topics: • Summary • UniConfig—Stage 1 • UniConfig—Stage 2 Summary There are several phases to configuring an NV5256 router. 1 Use UniConfig (first) to define its network address and (second) to define its basic partitions and specify its port types. - Page 36 Specify your PC’s COM port. Choose 9600 for the Baud rate. 4 From the Windows menu, choose ‘Configuration’. The following window appears: Click ‘Read All’ to obtain the NV5256 parameters and the router control card’s software and firmware versions. Rev 1.7 • 18 Aug 10...

11 When everything is correct, click ‘Write All’ (next to ‘Read All’) to send the configuration data to the NV5256. Now the router control card has its IP address and its basic partitioning. 12 Repeat this entire process for each router control card in each NV5256 frame. The redundant control card in any frame should be configured the same as the primary control card. - Page 39 8 for information on port types. 4 Click the ‘Write’ button at any time to send the port type definitions to the NV5256. 5 The ‘Machine Control Port Setup’ window also has an option where you can specify the take delay: NV5256 Machine Control Router •...

Page 43: Maintenance
Only qualified service personnel should perform procedures in this section. Caution Periodic Inspection Periodically inspecting the NV5256 for signs of trouble is the best way to prevent unplanned out- ages. Begin the inspection at the front of the frame. Open the door to the matrix and make these observations. -
