The PESA UCI-2000-S protocol converter is designed to provide an interface between Sony and PESA routing switchers and control systems. The UCI-2000-S can operate in one of two distinct modes, allowing PESA routing matrices to be controlled by a Sony control system and control panels or allowing Sony routing matrices to be controlled by a PESA 3500 family control system.
2.1 Receipt Inspection The UCI-2000-S Mainframe was tested and inspected prior to leaving the factory. Upon receipt, inspect the equipment for shipping damage. If any damage is found, contact the carrier and PESA immediately and save all packing material. 2.2 Unpacking The UCI-2000-S Mainframe is comprised of 1RU chassis/backplane assembly, one UCI2000 protocol translator card and one SRU Power Supply.
RANSLATOR 2.4 Mounting The UCI-2000-S Mainframe is rack mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack. Sufficient space must be provided behind the rack to allow for the control and power cables. All mounting holes should be utilized and mounting hardware tightened securely. As with all equipment installed in a rack, the bottom screw on each side should be installed before proceeding with the remainder of the screws.
Stepping or tripping on the cables may result in connections being pulled free or wire breakage inside the insulation. The UCI-2000-S Mainframe should be installed in the equipment rack prior to attaching cables. Use the following rules when cabling the UCI-2000-S Mainframe: 1.
Chapter 3 – Setup and Operation 3.1 Sony to PESA Mode The Sony to PESA control mode allows the UCI-2000-S to control up to eight levels of PESA PRC-based routing switchers from the Sony control system. Each of the eight additional levels can support a matrix size of 256 x 256 inputs and outputs.
RANSLATOR 3.2 PESA to Sony Mode The PESA to Sony control mode allows the UCI-2000-S to control up to eight levels of Sony S- BUS based routing switchers from a PESA 3500 family control system. Each of the eight additional levels can support a matrix size of 256 x 256 inputs and outputs. These control levels must occupy a consecutive block in the level space of the PESA control system and cannot share an existing level with a PESA router.
3.3.2 Setting the Sony S-BUS Station Address For all operating modes, dip switch S3 is used to set the station address (ID) of UCI-2000-S on the Sony S-BUS data link. The ID is set using a binary representation using switches 1-8. Valid station addresses are 2-254.
(bit per level) representation. For example: turn on switch 2 for level 2, switch 3 for level 3, and so on. If more than one PESA level is being controlled, the level numbers do not have to be consecutive. For example, the PESA matrices can operate on levels 2 and 5 by turning on switches 2 and 5 on S4.
8, all Sony routers are set to start at levels 1-8 regardless of where they "really" exist in the PESA control system. The UCI-2000 automatically offsets the base PRC strobe number when sending commands to the Sony routers and assumes all Sony routers exist starting at level 1 (native to Sony).
3.4 Software Configuration 3.4.1 Sony to PESA Mode To enable the new PESA routers in the system, they must be added to the configuration in the Sony control system software. The PESA routers are added and configured exactly as if they were Sony routers.
