    Each 5600MSC is equipped with 2 GPI inputs and 2 GPO outputs. To facilitate installation, these connections are connected through to a 2 x 6 pin terminal block on the 5600ACO2. The outputs from the 5600MSCs are passed straight through the 5600ACO2. The inputs to the 5600MSCs are internally split by a 'Y' connector, to ensure that both 5600MSCs receive the same GPI contact closures.

    RJ-45 connector at each end. Make the network connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of the 5600ACO2 and the other end into a port of the supporting hub. The straight-through RJ-45 cable can be purchased or can be constructed using the pinout information in Table 2-4.

    2.4.3. Word Clock Output If your 5600MSC units are fitted with the WC option you will need to make sure that the 5600ACO2 is fitted with firmware version 1.2 build 1 in order to properly monitor the Word Clock signal. Connect the Word Clock output of the Master A 5600MSC unit to the A Word Clock/10 MHz input of the 5600ACO2.

  • Page 25: How To Operate The Automatic Changeover

    The front panel controls consist of three recessed rocker switches to select the operating mode of the changeover and 56 LED status indicators. 3.1. AN OVERVIEW OF THE STATUS INDICATORS There are 48 status indicators located on the front panel that show operational status of the 5600ACO2 at a glance. 3.1.1. Operating Mode Indicators AUTO This green LED will be On when the unit is operating in the Automatic control mode.

  • Page 26: Input Indicators

    The 5600ACO2 changeover uses latching relays that retain their state when there is no power applied. When there is no power applied to the 5600ACO2, GPO2 will be connected to ground indicating a fault condition. Page 3-2 OPERATION Revision 1.3...

  • Page 27: Automatic Changeover Mode

    MANUAL CONTROL MODE switch to the GPI position. The Manual and GPI LEDs will come on. The 5600ACO2 will decide whether to select the A or B inputs based on the ACO GPI inputs on the top row of the terminal strip on the rear panel. There are two GPI changeover modes described in sections 3.3.1.

  • Page 28: Table 3-4: Dual Gpi Mode Operation

    Table 3-3: Single GPI Mode Operation In single GPI mode the 5600ACO2 is controlled by the ACO GPI1 input on the top row of the terminal strip on the rear panel. GPI2 is not used in this mode. When GPI1 is low Master A will be selected.

  • Page 29: Gpi Changeover Rate

    ON position, the ACO will decide to change in approximately 100 msec, providing less protection from false changeovers but quicker response to input faults. The 5600ACO2 firmware must be version 1.0 build 13 or higher to operate in 100mS mode.

  • Page 30: Aes Valid Condition

    This functionality is provided to use with the 5600MSC. By enabling the GPI monitoring mode, and configuring the 5600MSC GPO outputs as failure tallies, the 5600ACO2 can be instructed to change over on various failure modes in the 5600MSC. (i.e. power supply failure, or fan failure, or unlocked etc.) See the 5600MSC manual for information on configuring the 5600MSC GPO’s.

  • Page 31: Hdsdi/Sdi Monitoring

    Moving any of the 3 switches or changing ACO GPI1 or ACO GPI2 will re-enable the 5600ACO2. This is provided to prevent back and forth toggling if an output is shorted out, or if one of the HD-SDI outputs is unterminated.

  • Page 32: Gpo Tally Outputs

    The default condition of the 5600ACO2 outputs when there is no power applied is that the Master that was last active will be selected, and will be indicated by the GPO1 relay.

    4.2.3. Initiating Firmware Upgrade Mode From The Terminal Program 7. Power up the 5600ACO2. After the unit powers up, a banner with the boot code version information should appear in the terminal window. The cursor to the right of the word “BOOT>” should be spinning.

  • Page 36: Uploading The New Firmware

    10 minutes the unit’s Boot code will time out. You can restart the upgrade process by power cycling the unit. The 5600ACO2 application firmware in the bin file will have a name similar to: 5600ACO2.bin 15.
