    Overview Summary The CR6400 family is a unique subset of Grass Valley’s CR series of compact routers: the family’s routers have a larger switching matrix (64×64) and modular construction. The CR6400 routers are 2RU routers, are about 10 inches deep.

  • Page 14: Compact Router Background

    Introduction Overview The default functions include: Source Mode Destination Mode Source Select Destination Select Panel lock Destination Lock Level 1–Level 4 In the default function set, four of the buttons are unused. When the panel is configured in CRSC (Compact Router System Configurator), all the buttons of the panel are configurable and support salvos, which are not available in the default function set.

When a panel operator presses the destination selection button, we say the panel is in desti- nation mode. The 64 selection buttons turn amber and permit the selection of one of 64 des- tinations.

  • Page 22: Stand-Alone Button Color

    Introduction Feature Summary Stand-Alone Button Color A panel’s buttons have color: green, amber, red and are either bright (high-tally), dim (low-tally), or off (disabled). Buttons go high-tally when selected (pressed) and remain low-tally when they are not selected. In general, green means source and amber means destination. These colors have other meanings, however.

    CR6400 User’s Guide How to Add Remote Panel Modules to a Network Follow these steps to add remote panel modules to your network: 1 Connect up to 15 remote panel modules to the network with unique rotary switch settings in the range 1 to F. Remember to cycle power after you change a rotary switch.

  • Page 40: How To Add A Level

    Configuration CRSC Networks 3 Define the physical start and end numbers for the level. These numbers identify physical connections on the router. The numbers you enter will of course depend on what you want to do with the router. The default level for the router covers the entire span of inputs and outputs. For example, the default values for a 64×64 router are input start = 1, input end = 64, output start = 1, output end = 64.
