Introduction

General Description

The Þrst four sections of this document describe the communications protocol
supported by the Model 2200, 3000, and 4000 Switchers for use by editors. This
protocol is called the Òeditor protocolÓ or Òeditor interfaceÓ in this document. This
protocol is used by Grass Valley Sabre and Super Edit Editors. The information is
provided in this manual for use by other vendors wishing to interface their editors
to these Grass Valley switchers.
Detailed on the following pages are the protocols, data formats, and system timing
requirements for commands exchanged between an editor and the Model 2200,
3000, and 4000 Production Switchers. Although the protocol is common for all of
these switcher models, the different models do differ in their capabilities. The
detailed capabilities of each model are described in the pertinent Operation
manual. However, in general, the switchers do for the most part provide the same
functionality. From the perspective of an editor, the major differences between the
models are the number of M/Es and whether or not the switcher has a DSK and
PGM/PST bus.

Manual Contents

In addition, Section 5 of this manual describes the Control-Point Language (CPL)
protocol used with the Grass Valley Krystal digital picture manipulator (DPM).
This manual has been revised to incorporate changes made in the software since
its initial release.
Section 1 Ñ introduces this manual and the switcher communications protocol.
Section 2 Ñ describes the editor serial protocol.
Section 3 Ñ lists and explains the speciÞc commands used to control the switcher
for Version 5.1 and later, and for Version 5.0 and earlier.
Section 4 Ñ lists and explains the new parameter-based command set (PBCS) for
reading, setting, and trimming the switcher state directly, introduced with
Version 5.1.
Section 5 Ñexplains the effect recall and run (including the switcherÕs run lever
arm), control of switcher aux busses by the DPM when used as input selectors,
and on air tally involving the DPM with Version 5.1.

System Performance

The Editor Interface can continuously receive and process a steady stream of
commands. Although all commands are received, some time may be required to
act upon these commands. For example, transferring E-MEM
the editor and the switcher may take several seconds to complete.
Any Read Command has a switcher latency of 2 Þelds; that is, the response will
occur 2 Þelds after the Read Command has been received.
All other commands except E-MEM and ConÞguration Transfer Commands have
a switcher latency of 10 Þelds.
E-MEM and ConÞguration Transfer Commands have no Þxed latency in the
switcher. The transfer will take place as soon as all higher-level commands have
been executed.
The transfer commands have a one second timeout imposed on the time between
each packet transmission.

Editor Protocol

Serial Communications

This section describes the communications protocol and its error handling.
A Video Editing System uses the switcher editor port to exercise real-time control
over the switcher's functions. The editor is really an external computer that can
input and output functions. Such functions select crosspoints, perform auto
transitions, or perform E-MEM (Effects Memory) register recalls, to name just a
few possibilities. Refer to the appropriate switcher Operation manual for
deÞnitions and explanations of the switcher functions and features.

Editor Protocol Access

The 2200/3000/4000 Editor Protocol is based upon, but not identical to, the
proposed SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) Digital
Control Interface, which establishes a means for the orderly ßow of data over a
serial bus.
The major components of the protocol are shown in Figure 2-1 and discussed in
the following paragraphs.

Section 2 Ð Editor Protocol

Break Character

The main component of the Editor Interface protocol is a 1-1/2 character-length
Òbreak.Ó A break consists of a spacing or logical low (0) condition on the serial bus
(see Figure 2-2) followed by a minimum of two bit-times of marking (logic 1)
condition. The Bus Controller (editor) transmits a break to the switcher,
forewarning of an impending message.

Spacing Data 17 to 20 Bit Times
Marking Data 2 or More Bit Times

The break forces all tributaries , or listeners (such as the switcherÕs editor port),
from the ÒIdleÓ state into the ÒActiveÓ state. A break can be sent only by the Edit
Controller. When the switcher receives the break, it ceases all bus
communications, resets any communication error condition, and prepares to
receive an address.

Section 2 Ð Editor Protocol

Address Byte

Once the break has been received, the Editor Interface advances to the active state
and begins expecting a one-byte address. The switcher will respond to the
switcher address 30H (Hexadecimal), when transmitted by the Edit controller.
After receiving the address, the Editor Interface accepts command/message block
transmissions containing commands, data requests, and other data directed
toward the switcher. As long as communication errors do not occur, the Editor
Interface can skip the break/address sequence during the remainder of the
transmissions. Command/message blocks can be sent repeatedly, one after
another, without break interruptions.
The address is one byte long and directed to a speciÞc tributary. If the received
address matches the tributaryÕs assigned address, the tributary advances to the
Selected state and awaits instructions. The address of the switcher is Þxed as 30H.
In response to the address, the 3000 transmits an acknowledgment byte of 84H to
the controller, indicating the change in status to the ÒSelectedÓ State. If an address
of 31H is received, the switcher transmits an acknowledgment byte of 84H to the
controller, but stays in the ÒActiveÓ State. If the address does not match, the
tributary drops off the bus (goes Idle) and awaits another break.
Note that when the switcher receives a break without an address as a result of an
Editor Interface reset (
Interface), it returns the 84H acknowledgment byte to the controller. If the edit
controller sends subsequent breaks to the switcher (when no Editor Interface reset
has occurred), the switcher responds by sending 85H followed by 84H.

Command/Message Block Structure

In the Selected state, the Editor Interface receives command/message blocks that
direct switcher operations. The basic message structure is shown in Figure 2-4.

0350-09

Byte Count

Byte
Byte Count
Effects
Addr. Byte
Command Code Byte
Message Bytes
Maximum Size
255 Bytes
Figure 2-4. Message Structure
The maximum length of a message is 255 bytes plus the byte count byte. At a baud
rate of 38,400, the maximum length command/message takes more than 4 Þelds to
complete.
The Editor Interface can handle data continuously, receiving a contiguous stream
of command/message blocks. Such an ability enables multiple switcher
operations to be performed without constant cycling through the break/address
sequence. Responses (handshakes or read data) are returned in the same order as
the command/message blocks are received.
The command/message block can range in size from two to 256 bytes. The Þrst
byte of the block contains the byte count. A byte count consists of the total number
of subsequent bytes in the block; valid byte count values range from 01H to FFH
(1 to 255). After receiving a valid byte count (01H to FFH) and the proper number
of data bytes (1 to 255), the Model 3000 executes the command.

Effects Address Byte

The second byte of the command/message block is the effects address byte,
typically referred to as EX. This byte identiÞes the desired Òeffect bankÓ within the
switcher where the associated command will go. Valid Effects Addresses for each
command are speciÞed in Section 3.
2-5
Section 2 Ð Editor Protocol

Command Code Byte

The command code is the third byte of the command/message block. Command
codes fall into two broad categories: read commands and write commands. Only
one command is allowed in any command/message block. Likewise, only one
response is embedded in any command/message block.
Read Commands
Read commands interrogate the status of the speciÞed operational parameter of
the switcher. When the editor issues a read command/message block, the
switcher responds by sending the current status of the requested operational
parameter(s) back to the editor. This status information is returned in the format of
the write command/message block. By echoing the write format, the editor can
later send responses to a read command to the switcher and cause execution of
that function.
Write Commands
Write commands are used by the editor to change operational parameter(s) or
initiate a function within the switcher.
2-6

Status and Data Replies

The editor interface does not respond to the controlling device upon the receipt of
each and every character. It does respond to the last character of any complete
message. The Þrst character of any message is the Òbyte countÓ byte, specifying
the number of message bytes that are to follow. A message transmission is
complete when the total number of characters speciÞed by that byte plus that byte
itself have been received.
There are Þve possible replies in response to the complete message as outlined in
Table 2-1.
Response Type Message In Response To:
Acknowledge 0x84 Valid Select or Poll Address
Status and Data Replies
Table 2-1. Possible Command Responses
Negative Acknowledge
Protocol Error 0x01 0x40 Invalid Protocol Message (Read or Write);
Command Accepted 0x01 0x80 Valid Protocol “Write” Message Data Message Write Message
Once the interface is placed into the Select State, the most common response is one
of the two-byte status reply messages. The second byte of this message is the
response to the command. The upper two bits signify whether the command was
accepted or not as illustrated in the following Þgure:
Bit Bit
0x85 Invalid Select or Poll Address; Line Error
Timeout Error in Select State
Valid Protocol “Read” Message
(length varies)
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
X X 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 = Protocol Error 1 = Command Accepted
Note that these bits are mutually exclusive; that is, both may not be set in the same
message.
If Command Accept is true, the message was forwarded to its handler for
execution. However, this status reply only means that the command was received
with no transmission errors and passed the protocol validation test (byte count
and command code) for the message structure itself. The message may still not be
executed by the Switcher for failures on the Protocol Command level.
2-7
Section 2 Ð Editor Protocol

Error Detection

Transmission Errors

Error detection is a normal part of the communication process. For this Protocol
Interface, error detection and reporting is limited to problems that occur at the
transmission and reception level of communication. These type of errors fall into
two basic categories, line and time-out errors.
Line errors include three speciÞc types of errors that may occur with each
character transmission and reception.
¥
¥
¥
These errors occur when the Serial Data Word becomes corrupted.
Parity error
Framing error
Data Overrun error
Time-out errors occur when too much time elapses between the reception of
characters during a message transmission.
When the Editor Interface detects communication errors, it responds with a
negative acknowledge of 85H and then aborts all communications. Any remaining
un-executed commands are discarded after the error indication occurs and the
Interface is forced back into the Idle state. Refer to Figure 2-2 on page 2-2 and Table
2-1 for details of the detection and corresponding response to each error type.
In order to resume communications, the Editor must transmit a break/address
sequence to return the channel to the Select state. If the Editor Interface does not
receive a valid tributary or poll address following the break, it falls back into the
Idle state without transmitting the 85H Negative Acknowledge byte. Line errors
that occur during an attempt to send and receive the address byte still result in a
Negative Acknowledge byte being sent back to the Editor.
2-8

Protocol Errors

Errors can occur on the Protocol level itself; that is, the message may be received
okay, but may not actually be executed due to problems with content or context.
The only error that will be reported to the Editor as a Protocol Error (01 40) occurs
if either the byte count or the command code fail the validation test when a
complete message is received.
All other protocol errors go unreported back to the Editor. The only response the
Editor receives to these messages is a Command Accepted message. The handler,
when it uncovers a problem, will simply throw the message away and the user
will see no change to the operation of the Switcher.
Some possible causes of unreported protocol errors are listed as follows:
Content Errors:
¥ ¥
Invalid effects address.
Invalid data (register number, analog value, etc.)
Error Detection
Context Errors:
¥
Command is Òpanel-centricÓ and may only be executed when the Switcher is in a specific state.

Editor interface commands are detailed in tables presented on the following
pages. Addresses, byte counts, important names, and supporting details are listed
for each command.
With Software Version 5.1, new commands are added and some existing
commands enhanced. This is clearly marked for each command. Also, with
Version 5.1, Grass Valley has developed a new parameter-based command set
(PBCS) for advanced editing control. PBCS allows setting, trimming, and reading
of all internal switcher parameters completely independent of panel operations.
This is described in Section 4.
