Overview
The BKS-R3219/R1618 Universal Control Unit
switches the signal (called a source) fed to one of the
routing switchers that is adapted to the S-BUS remote,
and connected to the S-BUS data link, and supplies the
selected signal to the designated output (called a
destination). You may also switch the monitor signals
using the BKS-R3219/R1618 by connecting it to the
monitor S-BUS remote. Source, destination, and
monitor switching is performed with the select buttons
whose functions you define with the control terminal
connected to the primary station of the S-BUS data link.
Features
Large select buttons displaying their
functions with different colors
The large select buttons on the front panel are designed
for easy operation. They light in green or amber,
dimly or brightly to show their functions and the
currently selected source and destination.
Buttons to select sources and destinations
All select buttons on the front panel can be used as
source select buttons or destination select buttons.
Your setting on the control terminal defines their
functions. The defined function for a button is
indicated by the color, green for source and amber for
destination.
Displaying a source or destination name on
each button
The source and destination name defined with the
control terminal can be shown on a key label on a
button. You can easily replace the key label so that an
updated indication can follow any setting change on
the control terminal.

1) Levels
To handle different kinds of signals simultaneously, it is
necessary to use a routing switcher for each type of signal,
and these types are called "levels." For example, a

Expanding the number of controllable sources
and destinations
You can use multiple units of the BKS-R1617/R3219/
R3216/R1621/R1618/R3220 in combination so as to
work as one unit to expand the number of sources and
destinations to be controlled. One switching system
can have up to ten sets of combinations like this, and
up to 253 control units can be used in one set. The
maximum number of control units that can be used in
one switching system is also 253.
Route function to show the expanded sources
If a switcher does not have a cascade function, and you
need to expand the number of sources, the route
function makes it possible to detect a crosspoint in the
expanded switcher, and to have the selected source
name displayed in the display window.
Controllable up to eight levels
Up to eight-level control is possible when assigned on
the control terminal.
Different sources for levels selectable (break-
away function)
You can select and display different sources for levels.
This is called the break-away function.
Monitor function to watch the selection for the
other destination
When a destination you wish to monitor is set as a
monitor destination, the same source as the signal for
the monitor destination is automatically obtained when
the monitor function is set to ON.
Chop function to switch two sources
alternately
Two sources are switched alternately in a specific
interval automatically.
Several crosspoints switchable with the touch
of a button (phantom function or sarvo
function)
When multiple crosspoints have been set as a phantom
on the control terminal, all the crosspoints defined with
a phantom name can be switched by pressing one
button.
recording to be made on a VTR requires the use of five
signal levels: video, audio 1, audio 2, time code and remote-
control signals.
