Precautions

Caution

Operate unit only at the specified supply voltage.

Disconnect the power cord via the power plug only. Do not pull on the cable portion.

Stop

Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on the power cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check the power cord for excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.

Caution

Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into the AC outlet.

Caution

Ensure the unit is properly grounded at all times to prevent electrical shock.

Hazard

Do not ground the unit to gas lines, units, or fixtures of an explosive or dangerous nature.

Hazard

Do not operate the unit under hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheric conditions. Doing so could result in fire, explosion, or other hazardous results.

Hazard

Do not allow liquids, metal pieces, or other foreign materials to enter the unit. Doing so could result in fire, other hazards, or a unit malfunction.

If a foreign material does enter the unit, turn the power off and immediately disconnect the power cord. Remove the material and contact an authorized service representative if damage has occurred.

Caution

Handle with care to avoid impact shock during transit, which may cause malfunction. When you need to transport the unit, use the original or suitable alternative packing material.

[Circuitry Access]

Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access the circuitry with power applied to

the unit. Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord prior to removal. Internal servicing / adjustment of unit should only be performed by qualified personnel.

Stop

Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor. Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even after the power has been disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are especially hazardous.

Hazard

Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed. Operating the unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or a unit malfunction.

Caution

If abnormal odors or noises are noticed coming from the unit, immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions. If problems similar to the above occur, contact an authorized service representative before attempting to operate the unit again.

Caution

To rack-mount or ground the unit, or to install rubber feet, do not use screws or materials other than those supplied. Doing so may cause damage to the internal circuits or components of the unit. If you remove the rubber feet that are attached to the unit, do not reinsert the screws that secure the rubber feet.

Caution

Consumable items that are used in the unit must be periodically replaced. For further details on which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced, refer to the specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. Since the service life of the consumables varies greatly depending on the environment in which they are used, such items should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing consumable items, contact your dealer.

1. Prior to Starting

1-1. Welcome

Congratulations! By purchasing an MFR-5000 Multi Format Routing Switcher (hereafter called MFR main unit) you have entered the world of FOR-A and its many innovative products. We thank you for your patronage and hope you will turn to FOR-A products again and again to satisfy your video and audio needs. FOR-A provides a wide range of products, from basic support units to complex system controllers, which have been increasingly joined by products for computer video-based systems. Whatever your needs, talk to your FOR-A representative. We will do our best to be of continuing service to you.

1-2. Features

The MFR-5000 is a multi-format routing switcher that supports 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, ASI, and AES video / audio signals as well as RS-422 data signals. Inside the 8U case a matrix of up to 128 inputs/128 outputs can be configured. And by linking multiple cases, they can be used as a large-scale routing switcher. It supports various functions such as the capability of linking multiple cases, tally connections with peripheral devices, and automatic source name tracking, to allow the units to be the core product in small to medium size systems.

 Support for 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, and ASI signals with automatic signal recognition that

enables operation without concern for the type of signal. Changing the input/output card enables support for 12G-SDI, AES audio and RS-422 data signals.

 By linking multiple units, they can be used as a large-scale routing switcher.  Up to 4 units can be linked together for expansions of up to 256x128 – 384x42.  One routing switcher can be virtually partitioned to build any theoretical hierarchy, which

creates possibilities for use in various operating forms.

 Various crosspoint control functions such as Salvo, Take, Link, Level operation, and Chop  Tally linking with FOR-A’s video switchers (HANABI Series) and multi viewers. Source

name displays on video switchers and multi viewers can be switched in conjunction with switchings controlled in the main unit. MFR routers support TSL and Harris protocol, enabling linkage to other companies' products.

 Built-in webserver for remote control through a web browser  SNMP support enabling SNMP monitoring system configuration  Status monitoring for power supply, fan, CPU, SDI input/output, etc.  CPU board redundancy allowing monitoring of primary CPU board operation via the

secondary board. Immediate and smooth switch over to the secondary board without down time in case of irregularities, as well as stable remote control operation supported by the network redundancy

 Power unit redundancy for stable power supply against power unit failure or power supply

troubles

 LED display on the main unit front that can display settings and alarms enabling the main unit

to take over operation in the event the remote environment goes down.

 Designed for maintainability, all boards and power units can be accessed from the front

without removing any cables connected in back.

 Matrix partition and level setting capabilities support a flexible control environment (maximum

of 128 units in total including the main unit)

 Remote control panel connectivity for configuring a huge control panel  Interface expansion unit (MFR-GPI) for additional 128 (32 x 4) GPI/O and 4 serial ports (9-pin

D-sub, male)

 MFR-TALM Tally Manager Unit is designed specifically to manage tally and signal name data

in the MFR system and the exchange of this data with external devices such as a video switcher, multiviewer etc.. The unit performs the task of tally data computation, which is ordinarily undertaken by the MFR main unit, to accelerate the task.

 Conversions between 12G-SDI and Quad Link 3G-SDI and between 2SI and SQD available

by installing optional MFR-16SDIGB and MFR-16SDOGB (Gearbox feature built-in) cards.

The block diagram below shows an example of the basic MFR routing system that consists of an MFR-5000, Remote Unit and the Web-based Control accessed from a computer. Make sure to connect both MFR-LANs (CPU1) and (CPU2) to a LAN respectively for CPU redundancy. Their LAN connections must be separated from the network segment of PC-LAN and other devices. (Default IP addresses (Net mask: 255.255.255.0) are used in the configuration example below.)

 LAN Port Settings

Page 49

3-2. Main Unit Linking

Parallel Link:

Controls several MFR-5000 units at the same time. Controls an MFR-5000 and MFR-8000 units at the same time.

Expanded Matrix:

Creates an expanded virtual matrix by linking MFR-5000 units.

Main Unit Link Specifications

 Main Unit Link systems are set and controlled through a specified master unit.

Up to 4 MFR-5000 units can be linked within a system.

 Parallel links using each one of MFR-5000 and one MFR-8000 are possible.

MFR-5000 and other MFR main units (MFR-3000/ 3232/ 3216/ 1616/ 1616R/ 1616A/ 3216RPS/ 3232RPS) cannot be linked to each other.

 Only SDI signals can be routed in Expanded Matrix systems. However,

MFR-5000 inputs and outputs not used in the Main Unit Link can be assigned independently and used as paralleled link matrix, managing both SDI and AES signals. (Note that, in such cases, ADAO cards output BLACK signals from SDI OUT.)

 All MFR main units in a link system must be linked together and independent units

cannot exist in the system.

 Refer to Firmware / Software Versions and Supported Hardware / Features (p. 3)

for details on the supported version.

The Main Unit Link feature allows you to control multiple MFR-5000 units at the same time. Two types of system configurations are available:

Note that each Expanded Matrix system requires specific BNC connections. IP port and SNMP settings should be performed on each MFR-5000 unit. After these settings are completed, all linked MFR-5000 units are set and controlled together on the unit that is specified as Master.

3-2-1. Parallel Link System Example

The system example below is a redundant system using two MFR-5000 units.

Page 50

Note that in all MFR-5000 units the IP address of MFR-LAN1 is set to 192.168.1.10 and that of PC-LAN to 192.168.1.12 as factory default. To prevent IP address overlap in a system, you need to change IP addresses of either unit.

Also note that desired IP addresses can be set for system devices according to your network conditions.

By managing a set of remote control panel front panel buttons as a page, page-assigned functions can be performed by a single button press. Pages can be changed either by using the PAGE button (see section 5-3 “Function Buttons”) or the control knob by changing the Mode. (See section 5-4 “MODE Button and Mode Menu.")

There also are settings for the Page function in the Mode and Setting menus. Please also refer to the following sections.

 For PAGE button assignment: 5-4-3-5 “PAGE ASSIGN”

This section describes the setting for whether to assign the PAGE button in all pages.

Having PAGE buttons assigned to all pages helps you not to have to look for the PAGE

button.  For Mode menu settings: 5-4-3-4 “PAGE MODE”

This section describes how to select pages using the control knob.

5-2-2-1. Group Page Changes

Pages can be changed per a button group. The number of available button groups differ

depending on a remote control unit as shown in the table below. These groupings can be

freely changed using the Web-based Control menu.

Default button groups of control panels are determined as shown in the figures below.
