4 LED status indication

4.1 Start-up

The LED located at the front of the router indicates the status of the router. At start-up, the
LED will alternate between red (R) and green (G) every 500ms for about two seconds. After
the start-up sequence the LED will indicate the Alarm state of the router.

There are two LEDs located at the Ethernet bus. At start-up the boot loader is searching for
update commands on the serial port for about two seconds. During this sequence both
Ethernet LEDs will be blinking. After the start-up sequence the LEDs will indicate the
Ethernet state.

4.2 Alarm states

The LED can either be red (R), green (G), yellow (Y) or have no light (N).

The LED state is here described with twenty letters, each representing 100ms, which totals
to an alarm sequence of two seconds. The X indicates that the LED keeps the color it has the
moment the alarm sequence begins (green, yellow or no light).

5 Router communication

You gain access to router for communication purposes by connecting either the router’s
serial port to your computer or by using an Ethernet connection.

Do not use both the router’s Ethernet port and RS-232 serial port at the same
time. Doing so may cause loss of important communication and control data.

5.1 Serial connection

Connection can by be made through the serial port(s) of the router;

The communication parameters are configurable. Please refer to the protocol documentation
of the appropriate communication/control protocol.

Example: The protocol parameters s are as follows:

− Bit rate 19200 bit/s

− Data bits 8 bits

− Stop bits 1

− Parity: No parity

The DB9 female connector for the serial port(s) of the router has the following pin-out:

Pin # RS-232 mode

1 Not in use
2 Tx
3 Rx
4 Not in use
5 GND
6 GND
7 RTS
8 CTS
9 Do Not Connect!

Note that if the standard RS-232 cable specification (DCE) is followed:

A cable with Male+Male or Female+Female connectors at the cable ends is used
for Rx/Tx crossed connection, and

A cable with Male+Female connectors at the cable ends is used for a straight
through connection.

5.1.1 Maximum cable length (RS-232)

IEEE has specified the maximum cable length for an RS-232 connection to 15m. Longer
distances can be installed depending on the environmental conditions of the installation site.

MatrixPRO-II 3G/HD/SD-SDI Routers Rev. 1.1

5.2 Ethernet connection

The connections follow the standard set by the IEEE 802.3 100BaseTX specification. The
cables that are to be applied should be CAT-5 / CAT-5E standard, or better. It is the
responsibility of the installer / user to secure a proper installation of the Ethernet
connection.

All Barco MatrixPRO-II routers and IP-based Control Panels are connected together through
an Ethernet Switch.

A Barco MatrixPRO-II device has only one physical Ethernet connection. If redundant control
is required, this limitation has to be solved by the control system.

The default IP address is: 192.168.0.245 port: 4381

Connection to the router will be lost after 20 seconds of inactivity

6 Control Panel operation

6.1 Button description

A/V Toggle

The A/V Toggle button enables/disables audio and video on a specified address. The address
can either be read from the dip switches, or be fixed. The button toggles between three
states.

If the button is pressed for more than 1 second, it will go into a fourth state
where both audio and video are disabled.

In this state the button will be dimmed. If the button is pressed for more than 1 second
again, it will enable both audio and video if present.

Button Color Video Enabled Audio Enabled

Yellow Yes Yes

Green Yes No

Red No Yes

Dimmed No No
If neither audio nor video is present, it will be marked as disabled and the toggle state will
not be used.

Toggle status changes will be stored in flash and used when the panel is powered up later.

When a panel is powered on it will search for connected routers. If no routers are
found the A/V Toggle button will be disabled (no light in the button).

This can happen if the panel is powered up before any routers are connected or if
there is something wrong with the cabling.

To re-enable the A/V Toggle do the following:

1. Activate the Panel Enable button (Green light).

2. Push & Hold the A/V Toggle-button for 2 seconds.

The A/V Toggle-button should now be activated and the light turned on.

Panel Enable

If a Panel Enable button is present, the panel will start up not enabled. In this state the
button will be red and all the other buttons will be disabled. When pressing the button the
panel will be enabled and the color will change to green. A status request will also be sent to
get information on active levels.

If no Panel Enable button is present, the panel will start up enabled.

MatrixPRO-II 3G/HD/SD-SDI Routers Rev. 1.1

Take on/off

The Take on/off button enables or disables the Take button. If no take button is defined,
Take on/off is always off. On first start-up the take button is enabled. Later it will read the
last status from the flash memory.

Take

The Take buttons LED is normally off. If the Take on/off button is set to “on”, no commands
will be sent from the panel until the Take button is pressed. The last selected buttons and
the take button will blink, until the Take button is pressed and the command is sent from the
panel.

Output

An Output button is used for selecting an output. Selecting an output activates it, so that it
is switched to the next input that is selected.

Input

An Input button switches the active output to the selected input. If the Take button is
enabled, the switch will not be executed until the Take button is pressed.

When switching using the Input button, all enabled audio- and video-levels will be switched
from the selected input to the active output.
