Selection Method and Button
Function
The BKS-R3210 has two methods for selecting
sources; direct selection and type-number selection.
The method is defined on the control terminal in
advance, and the functions of the source/destination
buttons change according to the selected method.
For details on making settings on the control terminal, refer
to the Installation Manual supplied with the routing
switcher.
Direct selection
Simply pressing a source or destination select button
selects a source or destination assigned to the button.
To select a source or destination with this method, you
must assign a source name or destination name to each
source/destination select button on the control
terminal.
If the BKS-R3210 is used alone, the unit can select 16
sources and destinations that have been assigned to
each button in advance.
You may expand the controllable number of sources
and destinations using two or more control units as a
block. If you use multiple control units in
combination, define one of them as the mother unit,
and the others as the daughter units in a block. A
switching system can include up to 10 blocks or up to
253 remote control units in total. The controllable
number of sources and destinations depends on the
number of control units used in a system.
Type-number selection
The type-number selection method selects a source or
destination by type name such as VTR, FLM, and
number from 1 to 999. To use this method, you must
assign a type name to each button using the control
terminal. You may select up to 512 sources and 512
destinations with a BKS-R3210. The number of
controllable sources and destinations can be limited on
the control terminal.
