Installation

Please read sectio n 1.3 ‘ Safety and P re-Instal latio n checks ’ before pro ceeding .

For a single level matrix with local control simply connect the video inputs and
outputs as shown on the rear panel (terminating any unused BNC’s at 75Ω),
connect the mains mating IEC connector to a suitable 230v supply (NB Earth
MUST be connect ed at all times) and t he mat rix is read y fo r use.

When a s ystem requ ires a number o f Ro utemaster matrices to be permanent ly
married (e.g. video and audio, video and stereo audio, component video and
audio), connect the married cable between the units being operated together with
the 4C014 married cable supplied (if not supplied see ‘connection for married
operation’ below).

For units with remote control connect the appropriate Routemaster(s) to the
control panel with the control cable(s) supplied.

NB When video and audio Routemaster(s) are permanently married, the video acts
as the master. Control panels should be connected to the video unit. When
matrices are married for component video, ensure that control panel(s) are
connected to th e Y/G matrix so that syncs are derived correctly .

Section 4.2 covers the 5S2935 16 button per cross point control panel and
section 4.3 the 5SX4100 XY control panel.

Issue 4 Pa ge 2.1 - 3

Connection for married operation:

Connect all units in daisy-chain fashion via the 9 way ‘D’ type male connector at
the rear of the unit using 4C014 married cable or a cable made up of ‘D’ type
female connectors connected in parallel as below. When a video and audio
Routemaster(s) are married, the vid eo un it acts as the master. Remote or local
control should be connected to the video unit. If being married to other
component levels ensure the unit designated Y/G is connected appropriately so
that sync is derived from the correct level.

Connection for remote control:

16x1 Routemasters can have local and/or remote control. 5S2925 16 button-per­crosspoint panels are normally used for remote control. (If the XY remote control
panel is being used, please refer to section 4.3.)

Control panels are connected to 16x1 Routemasters using the female 9 way ‘D’
type connector on the rear of the unit. Use control cable 4C009, which is available
in a variety of lengths from 10 to 50 metres. (Alternatively a control cable can be
made from a 9 way ‘ D’ type male and 15 way ‘D’ type female using the
connections given below. Note that screened cable must be used, with the screen
connected to the shell of the ‘D’ type connectors at both ends to meet EMC
requirements.)

For more complex married systems with multiple levels of video and/or audio, the
remote control panel should be connected to the composite video matrix (or the
Y/G matrix for component video).

Issue 4 Pa ge 2.1 - 4

Altogether 4 button-per-crosspoint panels can be used to control a 16x1, (3
remotes if local control is fitted) each pan el with a uni que prio rity level (see
5S2935 Control Panel section).

Operation

Selecting a source on the front panel or on a remote button per cross-point panel
switches the output to that source so long as the slider switch on the control
panel is in the enable position. (When the slider switch is in the disable position
tallies are still shown.)

When initially powered the matrix defaults to input 1. With local and remote
control panels operation is prioritised. The local control panel has priority level 2
whilst remote panels can be set for priority levels 1, 3 or 4, where level 1 has the
highest priority. The sliding switch, however may be used to disable selection by
one of the panels (but tallies will still be shown).

Please read sectio n 1.3 ‘ Safety and P re-Instal latio n checks ’ before pro ceeding .

For a single level matrix, connect the video inputs and outputs as shown on the
rear panel (terminating any unused BNC’s at 75Ω) then conn ect the mains mati ng
IEC connector to a suitable 230v supply (NB Earth MUST be connected at all
times).

For multiple levels connect the married cable between the units being operated
together with the 4C014 married cable supplied (if not supplied see ‘connection
for married operation’ below). If being married to other component levels ensure
the unit designated Y/G is connected appropriately so that sync is derived from
the correct l evel.

For units with remote control connect the appropriate Routemaster(s) to the

control should be connected to the video unit. If being married to other
component levels ensure the unit designated Y/G is connected appropriately so
that sync is derived from the correct level.

Connection for remote control:

16x4 video Routemasters can be controlled by a 5S2935 button-per-crosspoint
control panel for each o utpu t, by th e 5SX4100 XY panel or by a mixture of both.

When using only the 5S2935 16 button-per-crosspoint control panels
Control panels are connected to 16x4 Routemasters using the female 9 way ‘D’
type connector on the rear of the unit. Use control cable 4C009, which is available
in a variety of lengths from 10 to 50 metres. (Alternatively a control cable can be
made from a 9 way ‘ D’ type male and 15 way ‘D’ type female using the
connections given below. Note that screened cable must be used, with the screen
connected to the shell of the ‘D’ type connectors at both ends to meet EMC
requirements.)

For more complex married systems with multiple levels of video and/or audio, the
remote control panels should be connected to the composite video matrix (or the
Y/G matrix for component video).

Altogether 4 button-per-crosspoint panels can be used to control any one output,
each panel w ith a u niqu e priori ty lev el (see 5 S2935 Control Panel section 4.2).

Issue 4 Pa ge 2.2 - 4

When using only the 5SX4100 XY control panels
A splitter cable (specific to your particular requirement) is supplied with each
system. This should be connected to the 16x4 Routemaster(s) as shown by the
labels on its connectors and to the socket marked PL1 on the rear of the XY panel
using control cable 4C025, which is available in a variety of lengths from 10 to 50
metres. (Alternatively a control cable can be made from a 25 way ‘D’ type male to
25 way ‘D’ type male with pin to pin connections. Note that screened cable must
be used, wi th the screen con nected t o the s hell o f th e ‘D’ typ e connect ors at b oth
ends to meet EMC requirements.)
.
For the simplest system when an XY panel only controls a single 16x4 video
matrix, the splitter cable has four 9 way ‘D’ type male connectors which connect
to the four control sockets on the rear of the matrix, and a 25 way ‘D’ type female
connecto r for t he cabl e to th e XY panel.

When a number of matrices are being used for different levels of video and/or
audio, the splitter cable also includes 9 way ‘D’ type female connector(s) to
connect to the ‘married’ sock ets on the rear o f each matrix (as s hown by the labels
on the connectors).

When 5S2935 16 button-per-crosspoint control panels are being used in addition
to an XY panel, the splitter cable also has 9 way ‘D’ type female connectors for
connecting 4C009 control cables to the button-per-crosspoint panels. (See the
previous ‘When using only the 5S2935 16 button-per-crosspoint control panels’
section for fuller details on connecting these panels.)
