Ethernet Enabled Programmable TV/AV Controller: CEN-TVAV

Description

Functional Description

The CEN-TVAV is an Ethernet based, multi-purpose television/audio-visual
(TV/AV) device controller that is compatible with SIMPL™ Windows®. The
CEN-TVAV can communicate over an Ethernet/local area network (LAN) or wide
area network (WAN) using standard Internet protocol (IP) and can be used as a
standard Crestron remote control system (herein referred to as the Cresnet system)
peripheral or as a “smart” peripheral. As a standard Cresnet system peripheral, the
CEN-TVAV can be added as a Cresnet network device to a host CEN-TVAV,
CNMSXAV/PRO, or CNRACKX/-DP with all logic, infrared (IR) drivers, and serial
strings stored in the control system programming logic. In the “smart” peripheral
mode, the CEN-TVAV and may be programmed to store and execute SIMPL and
SIMPL+ programs.
The CEN-TVAV controls the ON/OFF and many or most functions of an attached
TV or AV device. The unit provides operating power to the device and controls the
device through a Crestron SmarTouch infrared probe (STIRP). The CEN-TVAV also
provides four Versiports ports (each capable of digital inputs/or digital outputs or
analog inputs) for controlling or monitoring external equipment.
The CEN-TVAV may also be enabled and operated with optional handheld IR
transmitters. To prevent interference from most standard IR frequencies and/or
fluorescent lighting, the CEN-TVAV and optional transmitters operate at 455
kilohertz (kHz). Contact Crestron customer service for further information.
The CEN-TVAV may be utilized as a “smart” peripheral, a standard Cresnet system
peripheral, or a “mixed mode” peripheral. For descriptions of the three ways to
perform different functions, refer to the following paragraphs.
In Local Processing Mode, the CEN-TVAV functions as a “smart” peripheral. The
built-in CEN-TVAV devices (IR Port, Versiport, Com Port, Power Sensor, and IR
Gateway) are accessed and controlled by the SIMPL Windows program loaded into
the CEN-TVAV.
Operations Guide - DOC. 5720A Ethernet Enabled Programmable TV/AV Controller: CEN-TVAV • 1
The CEN-TVAV was designed as a “scaled down” control system and does not
support dynamic preset storage that may be required by certain macros, such as
dynamic camera presets, etc. Having a simulated clock and simulated NVRAM, if
power is lost the clock and symbols utilizing NVRAM do not maintain previous
settings.
In Remote Processing Mode, a CEN-TVAV may be used as an Ethernet peripheral
within a host control system program. When this is done, all the functionality of the
CEN-TVAV (such as the IR Port, Versiport, Com Port, Power Sensor, and IR
Gateway) is accessed via the host control system program with no programming
within the CEN-TVAV. For example, IR can be generated by the CEN-TVAV by
programming the host control system only.
The Mixed Mode is a combination of the Local Processing and Remote Processing
Modes. For example, the Versiports can be programmed to control other equipment
from the program in the CEN-TVAV and the IR Port can be generated via the host
control system (no IR driver loaded in the CEN-TVAV). It is not recommended to
communicate to a port of the CEN-TVAV (such as the IR Port) through a program in
the CEN-TVAV itself and via a host control system.

Physical Description

Shown below is the STIRP and 5-pin connector plug that are supplied with the
CEN-TVAV. When connected to the IR port of the CEN-TVAV and positioned near
an attached TV or AV device, the STIRP (or other IR device) emits IR signals that
control the attached device. The provided 5-pin connector plug shown may be
connected to the I/O port of the CEN-TVAV and used for digital inputs, digital
outputs, and analog inputs to control and monitor up to four external devices.

The CEN-TVAV, shown on the next page, is housed in a black enclosure with silk-
screened labels on the front and rear panels. On the front panel are 15 light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) for indicating the status of the unit, the Ethernet that it is connected
to, and the attached device(s). All connections are made through the rear panel.
There are four rubber feet on the base of the unit for stability and to prevent slippage.
The CEN-TVAV is also available as an international version. All of the features are
identical with the exception of an international power-in cord and power out
receptacle, and unit nomenclature of CENI-TVAV. Throughout this operations
guide, all references to CEN-TVAV apply to both versions except where noted.

250 milliamp sink from maximum 24VDC; catch diodes provide transient protection
for use with “real world” loads. Analog inputs are rated 0 - 10VDC, protected to
24VDC maximum, 20K ohms input impedance; pin-programmable 2K ohms pullup
resistor to +5V. The pin labeled G is the common ground for pins 1-4.
IR
This 3.5mm mini-jack is used by the STIRP (provided) to control an attached TV or
AV device. The jack accepts mono (2-conductor) or stereo (3-conductor) mini-plugs.
Multiple IR drivers may be loaded into the CEN-TVAV and a ST-SPL may be used
for control of multiple AV devices.
POWER OUT
WARNING: When the POWER IN cord is plugged into an energized outlet,
POWER OUT becomes energized. Crestron recommends connecting the TV or AV
device before plugging the POWER IN cord into an outlet.
NOTE: The maximum continuous current from the POWER OUT under any
external load shall not exceed a current limit that is suitable for the minimum wire
gauge and maximum length used for the interconnecting cable(s).
NOTE: The maximum load applied to the POWER OUT shall not exceed the rated
voltage and current as specified on the unit.
This receptacle provides AC power (refer to the rear panel label for details) for a TV
or AV device. The receptacle is hard-wired to the POWER IN cord and is NOT
protected with a fuse.
The power out receptacle may be programmed to sense whether the attached device
is OFF or ON. A large current detected by the receptacle is used to indicate that the
attached device is ON and the absence of (or very low) current indicates the device is
OFF. If the CEN-TVAV (or control system) detects that the device is ON, the
program can be coded to not allow the CEN-TVAV to attempt to turn it ON, which
would inadvertently turn it OFF. This is true if the IR driver does not have discrete
ON and OFF functions, but only a POWER function.
POWER IN
This attached power cord supplies operating AC power (refer to the rear panel label
and/or “Leading Specifications” section of this guide for details) to the CEN-TVAV
and the POWER OUT port. An internal fuse electrically protects the CEN-TVAV
circuitry from excessive power input.

Setup

Cresnet Modular Cabling

NOTE: If making network connections to the Cresnet peripherals, refer to the latest
revision of the Crestron Network Modular Cable Requirements (Doc. 5682). This
document can be obtained from the Downloads page (CABLES and MANUAL
Libraries) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). Search for MODULAR.PDF.
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run
and the load factor of each network unit to be connected must be taken into
consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the load factor of
each unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the load factor of
the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply
network port, the load factor of that unit is the load factor of the entire run. The
length of the run in feet and the load factor of the run should be used in the following
resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.
Resistance Equation
R <
The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than
the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the table below.

Cable Configuration for Programming

The CEN-TVAV may be programmed through the host control system or directly via
the local RS-232 port. To program the CN-TVAV at the RS-232 port, a modular
cable, an RJ11 to DB9F adapter and 6-conductor modular cable are required. These
components are not supplied but are part of the SmarTouch Programming Kit
(ST-PK). If available, use these components.
When programming, refer to the figure on the next page for a typical connection
diagram. Complete the following steps in the order provided to ensure proper
connection.
WARNING: When the POWER IN cord is plugged into an energized outlet,
POWER OUT becomes energized. Crestron recommends connecting the TV or AV
device before plugging the POWER IN cord into an outlet.
NOTE: The following procedure assumes that a touchpanel is being used as the
user interface. If a wireless hand-held transmitter is utilized, no connections to a user
interface need to be made.

Special Considerations for Using the RS-232 Port for Uploading Programs

The CEN-TVAV has a single RS-232 port that is used for uploading programs and communicating with RS-232 equipment for control purposes. Since the port is shared, the operation of the console port is slightly different from standard CNX systems that have a dedicated RS-232 console ports. When a program is loaded into a CEN-TVAV that uses the TVAVCOM-1 port, the program will initialize but the shared port will still be attached to the console. The program will run normally, but the TVAVCOM-1 port will effectively be “disconnected” from the system. This is done so other configurations (such as uploading SIMPL+ modules, setting the IP Table, etc.) can be done.
After the program is rebooted (using F10 in the Viewport or cycling operating power), the shared port is taken over by the TVAVCOM-1 port (if the TVAVCOM-1 symbol is present in the program) when the SIMPL program initializes. Note that SIMPL Windows will not convert the TVAVCOM-1 port if there are no signals or data coded in the port, or if the symbol is commented out. When the program initializes, the normal TVAV bootup messages will be issued out the TVAVCOM-1 port, i.e.:
TVAV Monitor v5.10.13 - 03/07/00 - interrupt serial i/o 512k flash memory, 512k SRAM, segment =F900 Press <esc> now to enter debug monitor
If there is a device hooked up to the TVAVCOM-1 port, the bootup message may be treated as false characters and cause device errors. It is possible to set the baud rate to DISABLE (pressing F8 while in the Viewport and selecting DISABLE) for the console port. This will cause the initial bootup message to not be displayed. In order to obtain communications with the CEN-TVAV through the RS-232 port, the following methods can be used:

p
Set Baud Rate to Obtain Communication
BAUD RATE
If the baud rate was set to 'disable' for the console. If the baud rate was set to a rate other than 'disable' for the console but the rate is unknown.
If the baud rate was set to a rate other than 'disable' and the rate is known.
1. Set the viewport to 38400 N81 Baud via SETUP -> COMMUNICATIONS SETTING.
2. Disconnect the AC power from the CEN-TVAV.
3. Reconnect AC
4. Within the first 5-seconds, press the BREAK character ALT-K) in the viewport and observe the standard CEN-TVAV bootup message.
5. When the following message is displayed, press the space­bar to abort running the program. Otherwise, the CEN-TVAV will boot, the TVAVCOM-1 symbol will take over, and the console will be set to the DISABLE rate.
Booting from Flash Prom 6E00 Press <space> for cold start
6. To set the console baud rate, press F8 and select a new baud rate. This will force the console to show the bootup messages at bootup time.
1. Set the viewport to the baud rate the console is operating at or use "Establish Communications (Alt-B)" from the Diagnostics Menu.
2. Press BREAK (ALT-K) three times in succession and observe the following reply:
TVAV Console Enabled
STEPS TO PERFORM
ower to the CEN-TVAV.
The console port is always accessible, regardless of whether or not the program contains a TVAVCOM-1 port, if the console connection is established via "TCP/IP Console Connection" on page 19. To prevent the console switchover during program development, the TVAVCOM-1 port may be commented out. If the TVAVCOM-1 port is not programmed in SIMPL Windows (if the definition is present but the Port contains no data), then the console port will never be taken over and is always accessible.

Cable Configuration for Normal Operation

When operating the CEN-TVAV under normal conditions, refer to the figure on the next page for a typical connection diagram.
WARNING: When the POWER IN cord is plugged into an energized outlet, POWER OUT becomes energized. Crestron recommends connecting the TV or AV device before plugging the POWER IN cord into an outlet.
CAUTION: When the ETHERNET port is connected to a larger network via a hub, make sure that a straight (non-crossover type) Ethernet cable is used and that the cable is NOT connected to the UPLINK port of an Ethernet hub.
CAUTION: If making connections to the CRESNET modular port, DO NOT use 6-conductor telephone cables. Telephone cables are wired in a crisscross fashion and are not compatible with Crestron equipment. Use the modular cable provided.
Operations Guide - DOC. 5720A Ethernet Enabled Programmable TV/AV Controller: CEN-TVAV • 11
CAUTION: If making connections to the Cresnet peripherals from the CRESNET port, refer to “Cresnet Modular Cabling” on page 8.
NOTE: Refer to the latest revision of the STIRP Installation Instructions (Doc.
5674) for details to attach the STIRP near the IR sensor window of the TV or AV device. This document can be obtained from the Downloads page (MANUAL Library) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). Search for STIRP.PDF.
NOTE: The power plug is used to connect or disconnect power from the unit. Other than making the power connection last, complete the connections in any order.
NOTE: An optional handheld IR transmitter must have an unobstructed line-of­sight to the IR receiver of the CEN-TVAV. Make sure nothing is between the transmitter and the CEN-TVAV that would prevent maximum signal reception.
