The PERFORMER Serial Digital Video and AES/EBU Digital Audio10X1 routing switcher. It is available in four (4) basic models (conﬁgured with either BNC or D type audio connectors and supplied with either local or remote control panel) as described below. A bit-rate mode select switch is located on the front of the local control panel.

D type audio I/O connectors (local or remote control):

Model PFR-SD 10X1 Serial Digital Video & AES/EBU Audio (female D type connector ), Local Control Version.

Model PFR-SDRC 10X1 Serial Digital Video & AES/EBU Audio (female D type connector ), Remote Control Version.

BNC type audio I/O connectors (local or remote control):

Model PFR-SDB 10X1 Serial Digital Video & AES/EBU Audio (75Ω BNC type connector ), Local Control Version.

Model PFR-SDBRC 10X1 Serial Digital Video & AES/EBU Audio (75Ω BNC type connector ), Remote Control Version.

NOTE:

The two AES/EBU audio channels can be: switched together with video, switched together separately, or switched individually. If audio is not synchronous with video, some disturbances may occur during switching.

Tally and Cable Kit options

The tally option is a module providing contact closures for each video input. As a video crosspoint is selected, the appropriate relay closes. This closure can be used to light an external lamp for tally, or can be used for a bi-directional route for an intercom.

The cable kit option is installed in the frame to permit use of an additional control panel.

Product Description

Front panel bit-rate mode switch:

The bit-rate switch on the local control panel allows you to choose between FORCED, AUTO, or DIRECT modes of matching input/ output bit rates.

• Forced modes include: 143 Mb/s for D2/NTSC; 177 Mb/s for D2/PAL; 270 Mb/s for D1 both 625 and 525; and 360 Mb/s for future HDTV use. NOTE: Care must be taken when using the forced modes of operation; the bit rate selected via the front panel switch must match the input rate(s).

• AUTO mode: provides automatic bit rate selection when input rates are different. The PERFORMER automatically detects the input bit rate and switches to the correct rate, i.e. with D1 at Input 1 and D2 at Input 2 user switches from Input 1 to Input 2. The switcher will automatically switch to the new rate. NOTE: The input sources must be locked together and timed).

• DIRECT mode: like the AUTO mode it automatically selects the input rate and the non-reclocked mode (signal goes directly from the input to the output without going through the deserializer or the regenerator circuitry).

1-4

Video

Ten by one (10X1) video switcher. Provides 10 inputs and 1 output serial digital video switching.

An equalizer is located on each video input path to equalize up to 225m of 8281 cable. The serial data stream output of the equalizers enter a 10X1 crosspoint.

Audio

Ten by one (10X1) audio switcher. Provides two (2) “stereo” AES/ EBU channels of 10 by 1 serial digital audio switching.

Rear Motherboard

All inputs and outputs are through connectors on the Rear Motherboard. This board has only mechanical functions and mounts no active circuitry.

There are two different types of rear connector panels available (unbalanced BNC type audio connectors and balanced D type audio connctors). Both types accomodate 10 video inputs, 1 pair of video outputs, 2X10 audio inputs, and 2X2 audio outputs.

Unbalanced BNC type audio connectors

Section 1 — Product Description

VAA Board

The VAA board contains:

■ Video processing circuitry

■ Audio processing circuitry

■ Control circuitry

■ Parameter-determining switches

■ Vertical Interval Strobe generating circuitry

Performer video processing circuitry consists of: ASIC cable equalizers, an ASIC serial crosspoint, and an ECL line driver. Serial bit stream at inputs is converted to parallel, and processed in parallel digital domain, to extract line ID information and to generate the vertical interval switching strobe.

The Performer supports two independent audio AES/EBU channels (AUDIO 1/2 and AUDIO 3/4). Inputs can be either balanced or unbalanced. Audio is received and converted to TTL signals by RS485 line receiver circuitry. A pair of 8X1 multiplexers form a 10X1 multiplexer to select one of the ten input signals of AES Ch 1/2 to the output. AES Ch 3/4 uses identical circuitry.

Control circuitry is based on an 68HC711 CPU running at

4.9152MHz, supported by a 27C256 PROM and a DS1225AD RAM. The CPU contains a programmable, full-duplex, serial channel to handle serial data to and from the RS232, RS422, and RS485 driver and receiver circuits. Three 8-segment switches allow users to determine serial baud rate, communications protocol, external or internal VI strobe, and other functions. The internal VI strobe is stripped from digital video by a TRS ID Data Separator. An external VI strobe may be used if desired.

1-6

Front Panel Board

The Front Panel board mounts a row of 13 buttons and three, twocharacter, seven-segment displays. The buttons are sequentially scanned by the VAA board microcomputer (Switch Write); a pressed button is detected by one of the two Switch Read lines and the appropriate source taken to the output of the switcher. The take may be Audio Follow Video or breakaway depending upon

the state of the three “breakaway” buttons (V, AES1, and AES2). The Performer is capable of full breakaway operation, meaning that video may be separately switched from audio and even the two audio channels may be separately switched one from the other.

The microcomputer writes to the displays over an 8-bit parallel bus. The appropriate display is enabled by a driver output from the VAA board to accept the source number data.

Power Supply Board

The automatic switchmode Power Supply board delivers +5VDC to the VAA main board. A step-up converter provides +15VDC necessary for remote operation and for lighting the front panel LEDs. Input power may be 100 to 240 volts. The AC line cord is hardwired to the frame and is UL or TUV selectable at time of original order.

The AC input is fused but is not user serviceable. This fuse is soldered onto the power supply circuit board and is accessible to a qualiﬁed service person only by removing the top cover.

Functional Description

Tally Board (option)

The optional Tally board mounts 10 relays and 13 opto-isolated inputs. The 10 relays are slaved to the video selections made by the switcher operator. When a video source is selected, the corresponding relay closes (only a dry contact relay closure is provided). The opto-isolated inputs provide a connection point for a Joystick Override or other remote control device.

The Performer frame is EMI (electromagnetic interference) tight. To gain access to change factory settings and set operating voltage, it is necessary to remove the frame top cover. The illustration below shows you how.

WARNING

Lethal voltages present inside frame. DO NOT apply AC power with cover removed! Disconnect AC power before removing cover.

Removal

1. Disconnect AC power.

2. Remove the six large phillips machine screws from each side of the frame and the ten smaller screws from the top.

Section 2 — Installation

Removing/Replacing Terminating Resistors

When using your unit with more than one other device, you must decide where your unit is to reside on the control bus. Depending on its location on the bus, you may need to remove resistor R400.

NOTE: The silkscreen text on board may be incorrect.

■ If your unit will reside at the end of the bus, leave R400 in

place

■ If your unit will reside mid-bus, remove R400

■ R401 should not be installed in either case

R401 Remove

R400 Remove if not at end of bus

NOTE: If Tally Relay Board or Looping option is installed, ribbon cables may have to be moved to see resistors.

Remote Connector Cabling

The 25-pin, female D REMOTE connector provides a point of connection for:

■ Optional remote control panel (RS485)

■ RS232, RS422 interface

■ External Vertical Interval Strobe

Connector pin numbering is illustrated below. Table 2-4 lists the signal-to-pin number correlation.

If you are adding your own control device, using RS422 or RS485 control, you may need to construct a connecting cable.

Both RS422 and RS485 control require terminating resistors as described in Removing/Replacing Terminating Resistors later in this section. When cabling, be sure the terminating resistor is installed at the end of the RS422 or RS485 bus.

OPTION Connector Cabling

The OPTION connector slot may be used in two ways:

■ With Tally Board option, which allows Joystick Override/

Custom Control and Tally Relay connection

■ With Looping option, which parallels and duplicates the

pinouts of the REMOTE connector.

Tally Board Option

When used to connect Joystick Override or a custom control panel, an optional Tally Relay Board and cable/connector assembly must be installed in Performer. This installation is described next in this section. Once the Tally Relay Board and connector are installed, you can cable control and tally as illustrated below and listed in Table 2-5. (See the section of this guide for Joystick Override and control operating information.)

Relay closures follow video source selections. When the corresponding video source is selected, the relay closes and remains closed until the video source is released.

Section 2 — Installation

Vertical Interval Strobe Selection

Performer generates its own Vertical Interval strobe, which times the switching of video so that switching occurs within a region of each video ﬁeld when there is no active video. You may use either an internally generated strobe or an external strobe if the video signal you are using does not contain sync information and you wish to synchronize switching with an external device.

To change the vertical interval strobe setting:

1. Locate switch S2, segments 7 and 8 (see page 2-41).

2. Set for one of the three following conditions:

■ Standalone—For Internal Strobe without providing

external strobe output from pin 4 of REMOTE connector:

Open segments 7 and 8

■ Master—To provide External Strobe from pin 4 of the

REMOTE connector while using Internal Strobe: open segment 7; Close segment 8.

• Factory setting

CAUTION

2-40

■ Slave—To receive External Strobe on pin 4 of the

REMOTE connector: Close segment 7; open segment 8.

• For video signals without sync information

Do not set both segments to the “C” closed/ON position. This may cause a system malfunction.

Polling Address, Non GVG TEN-XL ASCII Protocols

To determine a polling address, each segment of switch S1 is assigned a value from 1 through 128. When the segment is closed, that value is added into the polling address. In the example below, the value of each segment is shown above the switch.

For SMPTE-45 protocol addressing, a value of 40 (28H) or more must be used or the address will be invalid. The remaining segments are then ABCDEFG. If the (tributary) address is 1000ABCD EFGH000P, P is 1 when polling and 0 when selecting.

Polling Address, GVG TEN-XL ASCII Protocol

This protocol divides the address switch segments into two groups of four each (1, 2, 3, 4) and (5, 6, 7, 8). Each group assigns, in binary, an address digit from 0 to 9. Digits larger than nine are invalid. Thus, the highest valid address is 99. Segments 1 - 4 assign the ﬁrst, or most signiﬁcant, digit. Segments 5 - 8 assign the second, or least signiﬁcant, digit. See the illustration below.

Serial Communications Protocol Selection

Performer is designed to allow serial control from multiple sources. Several communications protocols are serviced; RS232, RS422, RS485, ASCII and SMPTE are available by setting the proper switches.1 Protocols and their applications are listed in Table 2-7. When you choose and begin setting up a protocol, you will select protocol, message parity, bit rate, and switcher polling address. For ASCII and GVG Model 200 protocols, you will also set serial port data bits at 7 or 8. For other protocols, the data bits are automatically set at 8. Performer serial port stop bits are automatically set at 1.

The Operation section of this guide contains information regarding, and examples of, messages in each of the various protocols.

General Selection Instructions

1. Locate 8-segment switch S2 on the VAA Board (see page 2-10). Note that each switch is numbered (1 through 8) and has a labeled open position and an unlabeled closed position.

Section 2 — Installation

Performer Serial Remote Control Panel

The Performer Serial Remote Control Panel communicates with Performer serially using the RS485 standard. Up to four remote control panels and four Performers or Performer and TEN–20 matrices may be on one communications bus. Installing the Performer Remote Control Panel consists of the following steps:

Performer Protocol Selection

In order to use the Performer remote panel, you must set Performer for one of the four 20–TEN compatible protocols (referred to henceforth as Performer Remote/20-TEN protocol). Directions for doing this are described earlier in this section.

When a 20-TEN protocol is selected, the Performer serial port is forced to 76.8K baud, 8 data bits, no parity regardless of Performer baud and parity-determining switches. In addition, the function of Performer‘s address selection switch (S1) changes to become a source, destination, and level offset determining switch to permit multiple Performers to be ganged together in a master-slave arrangement.

There are four TEN–20 protocols available. Their effects are described in Table 2-8.

Each Performer level (V, A1, and A2, for one video and two audio channels) is treated as a separate level. The Control panel level-select buttons (if any) are operable.

Performer is in Master Mode: it responds to instructions from and returns tally messages to control panel. Other Performers on bus with same destination offset must be in Slave Mode.

Performer is in Slave Mode. It responds to instructions sent to Master (above), but does not return tally messages to control panel. This protocol permits several Performers to be ganged on the same level and destination number as the Master while avoiding b us contention.

Levels V, A1, and A2 within a Perf ormer are treated as a single level; they switch simultaneously in response to commands from control panel (breakaway still possible using Performer front-panel buttons).

Perf ormer is in Master Mode. It responds to instructions from and returns tally messages to control panel. Other Perf ormers on bus with same destination offset must be in Slave Mode.

Section 2 — Installation

General Rules for Performer/TEN-20, 20-TEN Protocol

The ground rules under which 20–TEN protocol operates prevent two switcher controllers (or control panels) from being placed on the same level unless the two are controlling differentlynumbered destinations and/or levels. Likewise, no Performer may be on the same bus as another unless they are assigned different level, destination, and/or source offset. Using switch S1 on the Performer to manipulate source, destination, and level assignments in conjunction with the four 20-TEN protocol variations, you can conﬁgure control panels and switchers to suit many needs (Performers on the same bus can be set to different protocol variations). The settings described here consist of:

Performer S1 Switch Settings

When the Performer is conﬁgured for one of the 20-TEN protocol variations, the function of S1 is to select source, destination, and level offset (in other protocols, it selects the address of the switcher). Performers on the same bus can be assigned different variations of the 20-TEN protocol. Each switcher on the bus must have a different destination offset and source offset.

■ Switch S1 settings on the Performer

■ Control Panel switch settings

2-50

NOTE: Source, Destination, and level offset tallies are not displayed by Performer Remote Control Panels. Only some TEN20 or 20-TEN panels display offset tallies.

Control Panel Reference

Source Offset

This is the address of the sources controlled by the control panel. Segments 1, 2, and 3 of switch S1 determine source offset. The switch segments operate in binary fashion (1 most signiﬁcant; 3 least) to select source offsets from 0 to 7. When a source offset of 0 is selected, Performer sources are numbered from 1 through 10. If a source offset of 1 is selected, Performer sources are numbered from 11 through 20. When a source offset of 2 is selected, Performer sources are numbered 21 through 30. This sequence continues through a source offset of 7 and sources numbered from 71 through 80.

The following table lists S1 switch settings and the resulting source offset. An “O” indicates an

Segments 4, 5, and 6 of switch S1 determine destination offset. The segments operate in binary fashion (4 most signiﬁcant; 6 least) to select destination offsets from 0 to 7. When a destination offset of 0 is selected, the Performer destination is 1. If a destination offset of 1 is selected, the Performer destination is 11. When a destination offset of 2 is selected, the Performer destination is 21. This sequence continues through a destination offset of 7 and a destination of 71.

Level Offset

Segments 7 and 8 of switch S1 determine level offset. The segments operate in binary fashion (7 most signiﬁcant; 8 least) to select level offsets from 0 to 3. When set to 0, the Performer level numbers (V, A1, and A2) are from 1 to 3. When set to 1, the Performer level numbers are from 2 to 4. When set to 2, the Performer level numbers are from 3 to 5. When set to 3, the Performer level numbers are from 4 to 6. As the protocol supports only 4 levels, never set level offset to a value greater than 1 unless one of the All Levels protocol variations is selected.

Section 2 — Installation

Remote Panel Switch Settings

The remote control panel has a cutout on the back to allow access to three switches. The ﬁrst switch determines the panel ID number; the second switch determines the sources, destinations, and levels the panel will control; and the third switch determines whether the panel is in normal operating mode or one of four diagnostic modes. The source, destination, and level offset of the panel must match the switcher it controls. Diagnostic modes are described in the Performer Service Manual.

As many as 32 communicating devices may be placed along a single RS485 bus. Each device must have a unique ID number (address). Segments 4 through 8 of the ﬁrst switch are each assigned a value; that value is added into the address total when the segment is in the ON position. See the illustration below.

When set to 0, the remote panel controls levels from 1 to 3. When set to 1, the level numbers are from 2 to 4. When set to 2, the level numbers are from 3 to 5. When set to 3, the level numbers are from 4 to 6. Since the protocol supports only 4 levels, never set level offset to a value greater than 1 unless one of the All Levels protocol variations is selected.

If two or more Performers are assigned to the same destination and level, they cannot be independently controlled but will switch in tandem. In this instance, only one of the Performers could be in Master Mode; the others must be in Slave Mode to prevent their returning a tally response which would result in a bus collision. Multiple Performers should not be set so that their levels overlap, e.g., one set to levels 1-3 and another to levels 2-4, unless their destinations of control are different.

TEN–XL SCP Switch Configuration

TEN X L

Controlling More Than One Performer

The TEN-XL Serial Control Panel may be set up in one of two modes, Dual and X-Y. In the Dual Mode, it can control up to two Performer switchers. In the X-Y mode, it can control up to ten Performer switchers.

Dual Mode: Controlling Up To Two Performers

In the illustration below, note that there are two rows of ten selection buttons. In Dual Mode, each of the button rows selects a source for one Performer (two rows = two switchers).

X-Y Mode: Controlling Up To Ten Performers

Again, in the illustration below, note that there are two rows of ten selection buttons. In X–Y Mode, the left button row selects a source; the right button row selects one of ten Performers upon which that source selection will be made.

Control Panel Reference

123 45678910 123 45678910

Grass Valley Group SERIAL CONTROL PANEL

In X–Y Mode, each button in the right button row (switcher selection) determines the switcher address to which the routing message will be sent. Button 1 selects the switcher at address 0, Button 2 selects the switcher at address 1, and so on through button 10, address 9. (Because binary count begins with 0, the addresses are 0 through 9.) Thus, if you are using this panel to control multiple Performers, they must be assigned to addresses 0 through (up to) 9 as described on page 2 - 60.

3282-34

Section 2 — Installation

Additionally, Performer(s) must be set to TEN–XL ASCII protocol (switch S2) and odd parity (switch S3)—refer to TEN-XL SCP (X- Y mode) to Performer in the Common Conﬁgurations section. (Seven data bits is automatically set at the Performer when TEN-XL ASCII protocol is selected).

To set Performer address to be controlled by TEN-XL SCP in X-Y mode:

Performer Address

■ Locate switch S1 on Performer (see Performer Setup

The above protocol divides the address switches into two groups of four each (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, 6, 7, 8). Each group assigns, in binary, an address digit from 0 to 9. Digits larger than nine are invalid. Thus, the highest valid address is 99. Switches 1 - 4 assign the second, or least signiﬁcant digit.

Baud Rate

We recommend a baud rate of 9600 if you are cabling directly to the Performer(s) or a baud rate of which your modem is capable if you are cabling through a modem. Baud rate instructions for Performer can be found in Switch Reference in the Installation Reference section. Baud rate instructions for the TEN-XL SCP are located on the following pages.

A single, 8-position switch, S1, is accessible through a cutout on top of the TEN-XL SCP Panel.

To select a baud rate:

1. Locate segments 1 through 4 on SCP switch S1.

2. Set segments 1 through 4 for the appropriate baud rate. The potential baud rate and corresponding switch settings are listed in Table 2-15. An “O” indicates an open segment. A “C” indicates a closed segment.

If you are controlling multiple Performers, they must be equipped with the internal cable which loops the OPTION connector to the REMOTE control path (see page 2-39). One Performer is cabled to the SCP panel, and the remaining Performers are linked to the first using looping cables. Connect a TNX–ICC cable from the SCP RS422 connector to a Performer OPTION connector which has been internally connected to the REMOTE control path (see above). The cable length is sized according to your order. The maximum length is 4,000 feet (1,200 meters).

Connect your own cables, with D connectors on their ends, from the first Performer to additional units.

When connecting the SCP through a modem, the X-Y mode is used.

1. Cable to your modem as described in the modem manufacturer’s literature. Use GVG Cable TNX-CTM, which can be up to 50 ft. (15 meters) in length, specified at the time of the order. Connect the cable from J232 of the control panel to the RS232 port of the modem.

2. Set the modem switches to achieve the following:

■ Disable or turn off modem response codes to

terminal, or select the mode which sends them as numbers.

■ Disable or turn off command character echo.

■ Other settings will vary with particular modem.

At the far end, connect the Performer REMOTE connector to the modem serial port using GVG Cable TNX-MIC, which can be up to 50 ft. (15 meters) in length, specified at the time you order the cable.

Section 2 — Installation

SCP Power Cabling

The SCP uses an external power supply. The supply is 120V or 240V as speciﬁed in your order. The supply cords, both the AC cord and the DC cord from the supply to the SCP, are six feet long. The unit comes shipped with a 120V type AC plug1. If you order a 240V supply, you must supply the AC plug end due to the large variation in styles2.

See the Operation section of this guide for TEN–XL panel operating instructions.

To connect the supply:

1. Plug the DC cord from the supply to the 9-pin male power connector on the rear of the SCP.

2. Plug the AC cord from the supply into a commercial power outlet.

1. North American Power Supply Cords: Supplied with molded grounding plug (NEMA 5-15P) at one end and molded grounding connector IEC 320-C13 at the other end. Conductors are CEE color coded: light b lue (neutral), bro wn (line), and geen/ yellow (ground).

2. International Power Supply Cords: Supplied with molded grounding connector IEC 320-C13 at one end and stripped conductors (50/5mm) at the other end. Conductors are CEE color coded: light blue (neutral), brown (line), and geen/yellow (ground). Other IEC 320 C-13 type power supply cords can be used if they comply with the safety regulations of the country in which they are installed.
