Battery Warnings Lithium Battery There is a Lithium battery on the VME card which is mounted “piggy-back” on the Mainframe CPU card. If this battery is incorrectly replaced there is a danger of explosion! Ensure that the same make and model of battery is used if replacement is required (a manufacturer recommended equivalent may be used if the original type is not available).

INTRODUCTION These installation instructions provide a guide to the installation of the SD1012 Switcher. ON DELIVERY OF THE SYSTEM The equipment is supplied in dedicated packaging provided by the manufacturer and should not be accepted if delivered in inferior or unauthorised materials. Carefully unpack the system components and check them against the packing list.
LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT Environmental Considerations The ambient temperature for all the supplied equipment should not exceed the limits of 5 and 35 degrees C. at a relative humidity of 10 to 90% (non-condensing). Installing the equipment in a clean environment with moderate temperature and humidity will promote a long and trouble-free equipment life.
LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT - continued Power Supply All three major parts of the system - Switcher Mainframe, Router Mainframe, and Control Panel - have the option to be fitted with dual power supplies. In each case the unit will work happily with a single power-supply connected if required.
SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION Introduction Your system has been set up and tested before shipment. Installation normally consists of siting and interconnecting the system components, connecting video and key inputs and outputs and setting up. Control Panel • Remove and keep the supplied nuts and washers from the two bolts on the top of the Control Panel.

SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION - continued Inputs Connect up to 12 SDI inputs to the 12 Serial Inputs of the Switcher Mainframe. Sources can be either video or key. If the system has the 24 input option fitted, all input connectors can be used. Connecting to an Alternate Mainframe Connect the 10 BASE T socket on the rear panel of the primary mainframe (adjacent to the Panel 10 BASE TX connector) to the Panel 10 BASE TX socket on the alternate mainframe.
SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION - continued Referencing - System Delays The delay through the Golden DaVE system is illustrated in the timing diagram on the next page. With no option (OPT) card the minimum delay which is possible is 185 pixels (about 14µs), but as the diagram shows, with a DVE card fitted a delay of over 2 frames is easily achievable! Because all inputs have frame synchronisers, a source cannot be set outside the source window;...

SWITCHER TIMING FOR VTR PRE-READ Introduction Pre-read is a facility of some VTRs which allows video information to be read from the tape, be processed by some external equipment and then written back to the tape in the same place as it was read from. This process allows tape to tape editing to be carried out using only two VTRs instead of the normal three.

CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS Ports The Switcher Mainframe has Ethernet, Serial and Tally & GPI I/O ports. The Ethernet ports are used for connection between the mainframe and the control panel, to connect to an alternate mainframe and for FTP connection to provide the transfer of Stills. Serial Ports 1 to 4 are RS422 ports and can be assigned a communications protocol in order to communicate with number of external devices.
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued GVG 4000 This protocol allows an editor capable of controlling a GVG 3000 or 4000 switcher to drive the P/P bus of the Switcher. Learn and Recall of DMEMs (E-MEMS) to and from the hard disk in the switcher is supported.
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued There are three variants of the GVG-3000/4000 Protocol. They are identical except for the way that Aux and Preview busses are assigned. The bus name in brackets in the protocol setting is the switcher bus that is driven by the incoming AUX 1 bus controls. In detail the bus assignments are as follows: Protocol Setting Incoming bus (in Bold) from editor will drive:...
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued Sony DVS crosspoint allocation is shown in the table below. When a source can be accessed via two or more different values, the value returned on a status request is marked with an asterisk S&W Source Selected Sony Name Black...
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued Using a Sony BVE-9100 editor There is a fairly common problem when using the BVE-9100 editor and S & W switchers whereby the switcher appears to be acting slightly too late on commands coming from the editor (or, that the editor is sending commands slightly too late for the switcher).
Page 27
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued To adjust this setting on the BVE-9100 step-by-step: 1. Press Shift-Setup. 2. Press F3 IDC. 3. Cursor down to the SW/MON entry in the IDC list 4. Press F8 ENTRY. 5. Press F3 SERIAL IF SW'ER 6.
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued Using the Sony VTR (P2) protocol, the Switcher emulates, specifically, a Sony BVH-2000. The timeline is treated as length of videotape in a virtual VTR controlled by the protocol. There are two variants of this protocol: VTR-Ballistics and VTR-No B’stics. The difference is that on reception of a Preroll (0x20, 0x30) or Cue-Up-With-Data (0x24, 0x31) command, the “Ballistics”...

CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS & OUTPUTS Overview Standard System The switcher mainframe has eight general purpose inputs and 32 outputs. The action of each of these inputs and outputs may be allocated by the user from a range of functions. The allocation is performed in the GPI and GPO menus.
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued The Outputs There are thirty-two general purpose outputs, located on the three Tally connectors (25 way D-type) on the rear of the switcher mainframe. Each output may be independently programmed to “indicate” any one of a wide range of occurrences or combinations of occurrences.
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued Programming The Inputs The GPI functions are programmed in the GPI menu found under the Configure - User menu. The left screen shows the eight GPIs with their allocated function and which edge or level of the control signal will trigger the function.
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued Programming The Outputs The GPO functions are programmed in the GPO menu which is accessed from the GPI menu by F1R. The rotary controls are used to set the parameters. Conditions The leftmost control (GPO) selects the GPO, the next one (GPO Class) selects the “occurrence group”...
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued Multiple Conditions The GPO active state may be conditional on more than one occurrence. The rightside buttons F1R to F4R set-up the conditions and the way they combine to produce an active output. F2R Add Condition Pressing this button adds another condition to the original single condition.
CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued List of GPO occurrences The following is a complete list of the system occurrences which may be assigned to a GPO. Video Tally Source inputs 1 to 12. Bus Tally Program Bus, Preset Bus, DSK Fill Bus, DSK Key Bus, Key 1 Fill Bus, Key 1 Key Bus, Key 2 Fill Bus, Key 2 Key Bus.
OTHER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Setting the Real-Time Clock It is recommended that you set the Real-Time Clock at installation time. To do this, press the CONFIG MENU button, then press F2L User and then F4L More until F3L is Set Clock, press this button.
OTHER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES - continued Remote Allocation of Aux Sources The four auxiliary outputs may have their sources allocated from one or more remote panels rather than from the switcher control panel. Snell & Wilcox do not manufacture a panel for this function but the Quartz Electronics CP3201 - S7 Remote Panel can be used as described below.
Page 38
OTHER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES - continued 3. More than one panel connected to one switcher port. Note This method can only be used if the switcher is running system software V2.3 R2 or later. Up to four Quartz panels can be connected to one switcher serial port to give independent control of four Aux O/Ps whilst only using one switcher port.
Page 39
OTHER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES - continued Interconnection & Set-up The Diode Buffers connect directly to the Computer Port of the Quartz panels. A standard RS-422 cable connects the Diode Buffers to the extender cable. If less than four Quartz panels are used the Master Diode Buffer must still be used and in the connector at the end of the extender.
