The following overview assumes that the reader is familiar with the Jupiter Facility Control System. If not, please refer to the Jupiter CM-4000 Installa tion and Operation manual.

MPK Table Entries

Although the Soft Panel and VSD applications are not actually an MPKtype panel (it does not use the Message Per Keystroke protocol), the MPK table is used for configuration purposes.

MPK Device - Enter a name, up to eight characters in length, for each Soft

Panel. This name must be unique system-wide.

Type - Select type “CP-ESLAN” on the pull-down menu. Select

“CPESXTND” for use with 98 categories.

Expansion - Leave unchecked not used for Soft Panels.

Password - Enter 90-99 in the Password column to enable the Force Unlock /

Unprotect option. Devices can now be configured to force unlock and force un-protect any destination regardless of what panel locked or protected it. See the 7.8.1 version of the Jupiter Control System Release Notes (part #

071827511) for more information.

Board - Enter the name of AccuSwitch Controller associated with this Soft

Panel. The source of this name is the Network Description table.

Port - This field is not used for Soft Panels.

Address - Enter the panel address from 01 to 64. The address must be unique

for panels that are associated with the same AccuSwitch Controller. This number is referred to as the “Device ID” on the Soft Panel “Devices> Set tings” menu.

Input Set - Enter the name of CP Input Set to be assigned to this panel. The

usual practice is to have one CP Input Set, which contains the names of all sources, be applied to all panels. However, a special CP Input Sets that list only selected sources could be created. Such a set could be used to prevent certain panels from selecting specific sources.

Note When entering the information for the VSD, you want all inputs, outputs, and

levels.

In Panel - This column is not used for Soft Panels.

Out Set - Enter the name of the CP Output Set to be assigned to this panel. If

the entry is an actual CP Output Set, then the control panel will be able to control all the destinations listed in that Set. Depending on the contents of the set, this would allow for full-matrix or multi-bus control. The source of the destination name is the Switcher Output table.

18 JUPITER AccuSwitch Soft Panels and Visual Status Display Instruction Manual

Out Panel - This column is not used for Soft Panels.

Level Set - Select the CP Level Set name.

Override - This column is not used for Soft Panels.

Sequence - A Sequence Set can be created and named, which, when assigned

to a panel, makes the sequences in that set available on that panel.

Note Sequences are not used in the VSD application.

Control Panel Sets

The router sources and destinations for the Soft Panels are specified by creating a CP Input/Output set of type of CPESXTND for device type CPESXTND, or CP-3800 for the device type CP-ESLAN. Soft panels use level and sequence sets of type CP-3800.

These sets are assigned to each panel using the MPK Devices table.

The CP Input and Output sets are also the source of the eight-character mnemonics displayed on the panel.

Jupiter File Server Settings

VSD Control panel sets must contain all Sources, Destinations, and Levels to display the status correctly. The VSD does not support duplicate Source, Destination, and Level entries.

Compiling

Before the panel can be used, the edited Jupiter set must be compiled and the appropriate configuration set made active using the Control Center. For more information, please refer to the Configurator section in the Jupiter CM-4000 Installation and Operating manual.

VSD Introduction

Overview

The Visual Status Display (VSD) application shows the current status of the configured connections for a Jupiter Accuswitch controlled system. The VSD application runs on the English version of the Windows XP operating systems. The PC running VSD needs to be connected to the Jupiter net work. VSD information is updated automatically. For example, when a Destination’s routing information changes, if that Destination is currently displayed, its status will be updated within seconds.

VSD is an option that is registered by entering a license key, obtained from Grass Valley Customer Service. The license key is valid for only a specific PC, and only one VSD instance can run on that PC at a time. An unregis tered VSD operates in trial mode, which limits the maximum number of elements supported per View to five.

Section 4

Views

Large routing systems can have many Destinations and complex paths, making it impossible to see the status of the entire system on a single screen. VSD permits grouping subsets of the system into Views. Different Views can be created to quickly display the current status of various por tions of the system. The types of Views available include:

• Destination view

•Source view

• Control Boards view

•Tie Lines view

The Jupiter VSD also allows you to create unlimited Custom views to better meet your business needs. Columns of information, within the custom view, can be hidden and then reveled at a later time.

All columns can be compressed to show only the content or to see all the columns; as well as zoom in or zoom out to your desired view.

JUPITER AccuSwitch Soft Panels and Visual Status Display Instruction Manual 51

Section 4 — VSD Introduction

The types of information or “fields” that can be displayed are:

• Switcher Output status (any level)

• Switcher Input status (any level)

• Machine control display

• System time and date

• System control board status, either Active or Inactive

• System control board time source

• System control board messages (not supported in AccuSwitch)

• Pathfinding (Tie line) status

Current VSD Limitations

Note The following limitations exist in the standard Views only. Custom views can

be created to better meet your needs.

VSD Interface

• Elements in a View are automatically sorted by a source or destination index when the View is closed and re-opened. Any previous order that was entered will be lost when the View is closed and re-opened.

• Column elements cannot be manually sorted in ascending or descending order.

• On systems where more than one VSD application is connected, Views that are deleted, modified, or newly created will not be shared by other VSD applications that are running.

• Closing and restarting the VSD application will synchronize shared

information, Views will then be dynamically shared with other connected VSD applications.

This section describes the features of the main VSD interface and will provide the name of the different areas of the interface. These names will be used throughout the rest of the manual.
