INSTALLATION Connecting H/V Sync There are two types of sync signals supported in the SV system. The most common type is 300mv to 5v p-p. The factory default is set to accept this type of sync. The second sync setting allows for high frequency TTL sync signals. If you are experiencing jitter, move the jumper on the Horizontal sync module to this setting. -

Page 35: Power Up
POWER UP Power Up Once all signal and control connections have been made, turn on the power switch. AC to the router is indicated by an illuminated power switch button. If you have power up problems ensure that the AC fuse on the back of the switcher is seated properly. On power up, the controller will restore the routing switcher to the last state it was in before the power was turned off including all configuration settings as well as crosspoint switcher status. -
Page 37: Communication Protocol
SIERRA VIDEO Chapter Communication Protocol Introduction The protocol uses the 7-bit ASCII character set, usually sent over an RS232-C or RS422 serial link — 9600 bps is recommended with 8 data bits and no parity. The protocol is compact, with few characters required to cause switch changes to occur. - Page 38 SIERRA VIDEO Generic Protocol Commands are sent to a routing switcher in a group called a command string. A command string can contain zero or more commands, limited only by the size of the receive buffer of the router, whose size depends on the particular router model.
- Page 39 GENERIC PROTOCOL This can be useful for verifying that the serial link to the router is operational. In routers requiring only one leader/trailer character, the simplest command string would be: *! Which would generate the response: OK !<CR> (To determine whether a particular router uses one or two leader/trailer characters, send it “!!**” and check the response to see which of the above two responses it is.

- Page 43 GENERIC PROTOCOL two digits for the input number, and a switcher with less than 10 levels would use one digit for the level number. “C”: Clear Matrix Use command C to request that the switcher matrix be cleared so that all outputs are disconnected from inputs (in switchers where this is possible) or else all outputs at all levels have input 1 as their source.
- Page 44 SIERRA VIDEO and modification of protected resources. The “M” command will typically work in conjunction with the “K” command, which allows a password to be sent to the router. Some commands, such as those that allow modification of router configuration settings, might require entry of an administrator password before allowing the router configuration to be modified.
- Page 45 GENERIC PROTOCOL ** Y5,17 !!<CR> indicating that output 5 is now connected to input 17. Alternatively, newer routers might use the “V” command instead of “X” commands to report a change: ** V5,17,12,0 !!<CR> indicating that output 5 is now connected to input 17 on level 1, to input 12 on level 2, and does not exist or is not available on level 3.
- Page 46 SIERRA VIDEO Says that connections are to be made on all levels: from input 8 to output 1, input 3 to output 2, and input 7 to output 3. An input number of 0 means the output connection is to be left unchanged.
- Page 47 GENERIC PROTOCOL If “U2” is in effect (see “U” command), the response will include one or more V, Y, or X commands to report the new status of the outputs. The response will be the same as if “O” commands were issued for the outputs immediately following the “Z” command. No response is generated if this command is being used to define a salvo.
- Page 48 SIERRA VIDEO says that one connect command (output 5 to input 7 AFV) is to be stored in salvo register 239. Only supported connect commands (those connect commands whose command letters appear in the “I” command response) may follow the register letter up to the tilde character. The connect commands do not take effect until the register is triggered using the “T”...
- Page 49 GENERIC PROTOCOL As with all router configuration parameters, the output lockout data is stored in non-volatile storage and thus is retained across router power-ups. When a router is first initialized at the factory, all outputs are set to be unlocked. This command provides the same functionality as the “G OUTPUT_LOCK”...

Thus, delayfields specifies the number of full fields of delay between end-of- crosspoint-command-string-received and crosspoint-switch-occurs. Note that the actual minimum value of delayfields depends on the particular router model.
