  • Page 17: System Physical Configuration

    Section Physical ConÞguration Concerto Routing Matrix is a multi-format routing switcher platform. The 7RU frame has four slots for modules. Analog (audio and video), Digital (AES audio, SD video, and HD video), and Data (TimeCode and Port) modules can be mixed in the same frame. The modules can be configured separately to create four matrices of 32x32 or combined in various ways to create matrices from 32x32 to 128x128.

  • Page 18: Controller Module Identification

    Section 1 — Physical Configuration When configuring a level or matrix that contains both Analog Audio modules and AES Digital Audio modules use settings for AES Digital Audio for all the modules in the grouping. The Digital Video modules SD and HD can be combined into a physical matrix.

    System Physical Configuration Concerto has three Controller modules. Two of the modules are Ethernet only. One Ethernet Controller is labeled CRS2001 CONTROLLER 671-6381-xx with an Ethernet interface of10Base-T and the other is labeled CRS2001 FAST with an Ethernet interface of 10/100Base-T.

    Section 1 — Physical Configuration The Analog Audio module has dual inputs and outputs to accommodate the left and right channels. These dual connections are labelled on the back- plane using a 1A/1B format. The inputs and outputs can be cabled and then software configured to pair the left and right channels as a stereo signal.

  • Page 23: 32X32 And 96X96 Module Placement

    System Physical Configuration The following are general guidelines: • All modules that are in the same level must be next to each other in the frame, • The preferred hierarchy between SD and HD Video modules in the same frame is to place the SD modules before the HD modules. If you have a frame with two SD modules and two HD modules, place the SD modules in slots 1 and 2, and the HD modules in slots 3 and 4, •...

    Cabling Monitor Cabling Monitors are supported for Analog Audio, Digital Audio, Analog Video, and Digital Video modules. Port and TimeCode modules do not have monitor outputs. The physical configuration of the Concerto frame will determine how many and what type of monitoring devices can be con- nected.

    Power Power Frames may be powered using either an AC power source, or a 48V DC power source. It is also possible to cable a matrix using an AC power source and a 48V DC power source at the same time. If a matrix has both AC and DC power sources available it will use whichever power source has the higher voltage.

  • Page 97: Section 3 - Control System Configuration

    Section Control System ConÞguration The Concerto Routing Matrix can connect to different control systems using either Crosspoint Bus or Ethernet buses. Control using a Crosspoint Bus interface requires DIP Switch and Rotary Switch settings. Control using an Ethernet interface requires IP address configuration. This section covers the IP settings, switch settings, and specific configura- tion items that Concerto requires to be controlled.

  • Page 98: Ethernet Interface

    Section 3 — Control System Configuration Ethernet Interface Factory default IP addresses for either the10Base-T controller or the 10/ 100Base-T Controller are set for Encore installations. For that reason, it’s possible that you could configure a Concerto using the default IP addresses with an Encore Control System.
