BVS-0808CP Rev. 2 1 General The BVS-0808CP is an 8x8 video router with vertical interval switching. This state of the art router provides high performance circuits in SMD technology for maximum system performance. The BVS- 0808CP is designed for all demanding routing tasks in digital studio and broadcast environments. The built-in RS-232 interface allows the user to control the router via the Triton Router Control System PC software with many operational features.
BVS-0808CP can also be delivered with DC ±5V / 30W, which may be fed by a 36 – 72 VDC mains power source. A Frame mounted power supply solution is also available. Please refer to the latest Triton Product Catalogue for power supply types, or call Thomson Grass Valley for this information.
Triton devices, with RJ45 connectors, an RJ45 to 5-pin DIN interface is necessary. This converter can be ordered from Thomson Grass Valley. The NCB system allows connection of up to 16 routers with different levels on the same bus. Control panels dedicated to work with a specific router must be configured to the same level as the router.
BVS-0808CP Rev. 2 Pin-out and cable type 4.3.1 RJ45 connectors On some Triton devices, the NCB cable can be connected to RJ-45 connectors. The following pin-out is used: Pin 1 = Not Connected Pin 2 = Not Connected Pin 3 = Not Connected Pin 4 = data Pin 5 = data Pin 6 = Not Connected...
BVS-0808CP Rev. 2 4.3.3 RJ45 to 5-pin DIN converter In configurations that include both devices with RJ45 connectors, and devices with 5-pin DIN connectors, an RJ45 to 5-pin DIN converter may be used to complete the control loop. This converter holds both connector types, and may work both ways, thus from RJ45 to 5-pin DIN, as well as from 5-pin DIN to RJ45.

BVS-0808CP Rev. 2 5 Router configuration Router level Switch 1 - 4 on the configuration switch set the router’s level for communication with the Triton Router Control System, and other units in the NCB system. The panels on the NCB dedicated to operate with the router must be configured to the same level as that router.
BVS-0808CP Rev. 2 Router mode The BVS-0808CP router allows switching in different modes. You can choose among: 8x8 Composite Video 4x4 Y/C (SVHS) 2x2 RGB/Sync Switch 5 - 6 on the configuration switch set the router’s mode. The Triton Router Control System software must be configured according to the mode chosen on the router.
BVS-0808CP Rev. 2 RGBS RGBS Signal Input RGBS Signal Output Vertical interval trigger The BVS-0808CP router provides vertical interval switching. Video input 1 is used as VIT reference. For all possible video formats the sync carrier has to be connected to video input 1. Switch 7 on the configuration switch enables or disables the VIT sensing on video input 1.
BVS-0808CP Rev. 2 Power up mode Switch 8 on the configuration switch defines the power up mode. The BVS-0808CP router provides two modes for powering up the system. Mode 1 switches all outputs to input 1. Mode 2 switches all outputs according to the buffered information in the routers processor system. The power up reset can be switched according to the following pattern: means switch down means switch up...
BVS-0808CP Rev. 2 7 Control and connection of Triton systems, interface protocol Important notes regarding the Triton Control Protocol 7.1.1 Binary Code The strings shown on the next pages are in binary coded format. Please be aware of the fact that any terminal program you may use to control a Triton unit from a PC must be able to generate hexadecimal characters.
BVS-0808CP Rev. 2 7.2.2 Example: Several units connected by NCB Messages sent to the RS232 of a single unit will be returned once no matter what address or input/output number the message has, unless it is a matrix which recognizes one of the conditions a) or b) above. If none of the cases a) or b) is fulfilled the message will also be transmitted on the NCB.
