BAV-0808 Rev. 0 1 General The Media-8 is an RGBHV Analogue Video + Stereo Analogue Audio (optional) 8x8 Router for Multimedia applications. The Video Router has seamless tri-step switching, or vertical interval switching, and a large signal bandwidth, which provides high performance up to 1600x1200 resolution. The Audio Router has balanced inputs and outputs, and audio breakaway allows selecting audio independent from video.
BAV-0808 can also be delivered with DC ±15V / 30W, which may be fed by a 36 – 72 VDC mains power source. A Frame mounted power supply solution is also available. Please refer to the latest Triton Product Catalogue for power supply types, or call Thomson Grass Valley for this information.
Network devices, with 5-PIN DIN connectors, an RJ45 to 5-pin DIN interface is necessary. This converter can be ordered from Thomson Grass Valley. The NCB system allows connection of up to 16 routers with different levels on the same bus. Control panels dedicated to work with a specific router must be configured to the same level as the router.
BAV-0808 Rev. 0 Pin-out and cable type 4.3.1 RJ45 connectors On some Triton devices, including the BAV-0808, the NCB cable can be connected to RJ-45 connectors. The following pin-out is used: Pin 1 = Not Connected Pin 2 = Not Connected Pin 3 = Not Connected Pin 4 = data Pin 5 = data...
BAV-0808 Rev. 0 4.3.3 RJ45 to 5-pin DIN converter In configurations that include both devices with RJ45 connectors, and devices with 5-pin DIN connectors, an RJ45 to 5-pin DIN converter may be used to complete the control loop. This converter holds both connector types, and may work both ways, thus from RJ45 to 5-pin DIN, as well as from 5-pin DIN to RJ45.

BAV-0808 Rev. 0 5 Router configuration There are 8 DIP switches on the rear side of the BAV-0808. They have the following meaning: Router level Switches 1 - 3 on the configuration switch set the router’s level for communication with the Triton Router Control System, and other units in the NCB system.
BAV-0808 Rev. 0 Default timing mode is No VIT. When RGB switching is applied, the Video routers 1, 2, and 3 will be switched in a special manner. When a new status is received, via buttons in front, or serial connections, the video switchers 4, and 5, as well as the audio, will be connected to the new input immediately.
BAV-0808 Rev. 0 Programming of restrictions If the user enables the Restrictions option, the previously programmed restrictions will be fetched from the on-board memory during power-up. Putting the panel in “Restrictions Programming mode” may program new restrictions. This is done, starting from Panel Disable state, by pushing and holding “V/A toggle”, “Take On/Off”...
BAV-0808 Rev. 0 6 Connecting signal cables to the BAV-0808 Connecting Video Signals The BAV-0808 router offers standard 75 ohms BNC connectors for video in- and outputs. All video inputs are terminated with 75 ohms. Connecting Audio Signals Below you will find our standard pin-out for DB25 audio contacts. This pin-out is used for both analogue and digital audio routers.
BAV-0808 Rev. 0 7 Control panel operation The built-in panel in the BAV-0808 offers 8 input select buttons on the top row. The input buttons are equipped with two LED indicators for displaying both video and audio status during breakaway operations.
BAV-0808 Rev. 0 TAKE function The BAV-0808 provides a TAKE function, which can be activated by pressing the TAKE ON/OFF button. The TAKE ON/OFF button will show green light if the TAKE function is activated. After selecting output and input like described under 7.4 the INPUT button and the TAKE button will start to blink.

BAV-0808 Rev. 0 When programming the salvos, use the A/V Toggle button to program separate operations for video and audio (breakaway). When using breakaway, remember that only the chosen layer (video and/or audio) will be subject to switching when the setting is stored. Example: If only the red light is lit in the A/V Toggle button when the next output is selected, the video will be left unchanged for the previous output.
