BVS-6464 Rev. 2 1 General The BVS-6464 is a 64x64 video router with vertical interval switching. This state of the art router provides 125MHz video bandwidth. High performance circuits in SMD technology assure undiminished signal quality. The BVS-6464 is designed for all demanding routing tasks in digital studio and broadcast environments.
BVS-6464 Rev. 2 Connection drawing Configuration Video input section Video output section switches Vertical Interval Trigger RS-232 port Power connector Network Control Bus. The protocol of this bus is equal, and compatible to the MIDI bus protocol.
BVS-6464 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-6464 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-6464 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-6464 Rev. 2 5 Router configuration Router level Switches 1 - 4 on the configuration switch SW A 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-6464 Rev. 2 Router mode The BVS-6464 router allows switching in different modes. You can choose among: 64x64 Composite Video 32x32 Y/C (SVHS) 21x21 Beta / YUV 16x16 RGB/Sync Switches 5 - 6 on the configuration switch SW A set the router’s mode. The Triton Router Control System software must be configured according to the mode chosen on the router.
BVS-6464 Rev. 2 VIT Mode The BVS-6464 may be configured to switch in different vertical intervals, depending on the video format that is applicable. This may be either PAL or NTSC. NTSC (525/60) and PAL (625/50) have different Vertical Intervals. Switching in line 6 in PAL means switching in line 8 in NTSC.
BVS-6464 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-6464 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.
