    BVS-1616 or BDS-1616 video router thus creating a 16x16 AFV router. Several units can be combined to form a 2 or more layer AES/EBU matrix system. One or several Triton remote control panels can control the BES-1616/110 as well. Another unique feature of the Triton 16x16...
  • Page 10: Power Connection

    Pin 2 3 Connecting the BES-1616/110 to your PC For connection to a PC with Triton Router Control System, the RS-232 interface is used. The RS-232 port on all Triton devices uses the standard DCE pin-out, see pin-out table under 4.3.
  • Page 11: Ncb Connection

    To get a control panel working with a specific router, configure the control panel to the same level as the router. Several panels can be configured to control the same router. The Triton panels can control 2 levels with breakaway function. If it is necessary to control more levels with breakaway an additional panel must be used.

    5 Router configuration Router level Switch 1 - 4 on the configuration switch set the router’s level for communication with the Triton Router Control System, and other units in the NCB system. The panels on the NCB dedicated to operate with the router must be configured to the same level as that router.
  • Page 16: Router Mode

    AES/EBU 3 Channel AES/EBU 4 Channel Switch 5 - 6 on the configuration switch set the router’s mode. The Triton Router Control software must be configured according to the mode chosen on the router. The modes can be switched according to the following pattern:...
