Page 4: Introduction
Introduction 1 Introduction The SW808 is an SDI and DVB-ASI compatible, 8 x 8 crosspoint routing switch. Switch synchronisation is provided by either SDI or analogue references, allowing the SW808 to switch in the vertical blanking interval to avoid picture disturbance. The designated switching lines are 6 and 319 in 625 line systems and 10 and 273 in 525 line. - Page 5 GPI control of the first two destinations is provided with optional tally. Rear connector options The SW808 is a ‘double decker’ module that occupies two slots. It can be used in a 2U frame with the RM19 rear connector or in a 1U frame and Desk Top Box by using the RM20 rear connector.

The SW808 Controller panel 2 The SW808 Controller panel The SW808 Controller panel is designed to control the SW808 8 x 8 routing switch using a RS422 serial link. The controller has dedicated buttons for each of the eight sources and eight destinations together with a TAKE button and Salvo SAVE and RECALL buttons. -

SW808 Routing and Status GPI control The SW808 may be controlled via GPI lines connected to the rear of the frame in which the module is used. GPI control is limited to recalling Presets or Macros. GPI control cannot be used at the same time as the SW808 Controller panel as both use the same physical control lines. -

Note: Other interfaces such as the SW808 Controller, the card edge or an Active Control Panel may also interfere with saving or recalling presets. Using macros Up to sixteen macros may be recorded and recalled from Statesman, the card edge control or by external GPIs. - Page 16 Macro was recalled.
