Important Safeguards and
Regulatory Notices
Information on the following pages provides important safety guidelines
for both Operator and Service Personnel. Specific warnings and cautions
will be found throughout the manual where they apply, but may not
appear here. Please read and follow the important safety information,
noting especially those instructions related to risk of fire, electric shock or
injury to persons.
WARNING
Any instructions in this manual that require opening the equipment cover or
enclosure are for use by qualified service personnel only . To reduce the risk
of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in
the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
Symbols and Their Meanings
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle,
alerts the user to the presence of “dangerous voltage” within the
equipment’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle alerts the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the equipment.
The fuse symbol indicates that the fuse referenced in the text must be
replaced with one having the ratings indicated.
This symbol represents an internal protective grounding terminal. Such a
terminal must be connected to earth ground prior to making any other
connections to the equipment.

Safeguards and Notices
Danger
This symbol represents an external protective grounding terminal. Such a
terminal may be connected to earth ground as a supplement to an internal
grounding terminal.
CAUTION
This equipment contains static sensitive components. Use anti-static grounding
equipment whenever handling or servicing modules and components. When circuit
modules are removed from the frame, place them on a flat static-controlled
surface. Failure to follow this precaution can result in component damage due to
electrostatic discharge.
Warnings
Electrical potential is still applied to some internal components even
■
when the power switch/breaker is in the off position. To prevent
electrical shock when working on this equipment, disconnect the AC
line cord from the AC source before working on any internal
components.
A residual voltage may be present immediately after unplugging the
■
system due to slow discharge of large power supply capacitors. Wait 30
seconds to allow capacitors to discharge before working on the system
■
<Specify any other dangerous conditions that apply to this equipment
here.>

Description
Introduction
The Series 6000 Compact Signal Management System has been designed
with the smaller routing switcher applications in mind. In sizes of 1RU,
2RU, or 3RU, it accommodates matrices from 16 x 4 to 32 x 32.
With the Series 6000, you can mix serial composite and component digital
video in the same frame. And you can combine routing matrices of
different formats to build a multiformat system that meets your exact
needs.
This section describes the features of the Series 6000 and how to apply them
in your own particular application. A Series 6000 system is illustrated in
Figure 1-1.

Section 1 — Introduction
The System
The Series 6000 system comprises video, audio and control level (RS422)
routers, all based on the standard block size of 16 inputs to 16 outputs.
Video and audio matrices are housed in separate rack-mount frames
complete with power supply and microprocessor control.
Units are stacked together to provide multiple levels. For example, a
system could be provided with serial digital, composite video, three levels
of component video, four levels of audio, time code and RS422.
Remote control panels are usually supplied as part of a system and these
are connected back to the frames by a single coax
each of the frames and remote control panels in the system.
Quick-Link Bus through
The Frame
The frames are of solid construction and house plug-in modules. The main
router modules — video, audio or control level — are located on the left-
hand side and the power supply module(s) on the right.
The plug-in modules are positively locked in place to prevent them from
coming loose when installed in a mobile vehicle. Yet they can be easily
removed from the front of the frame by removing the front panel/local
control panel and releasing the modules held in place by special quick
release handles. The modules may be removed while the unit is under
power.
Analog Video Routing
The Series 6000 analog video matrix is suitable for wideband applications.
There are two 1RU frames, 16x4 and 16x16. The 3RU 32x32 matrix is built
from four 16x16 modules. These are organized in pairs so that each pair
provides 32x16 (32 inputs to 16 outputs). The pair of modules is bolted
together with connectors between them, and slides into the frame as a pair.
The upper module of the pair is fully loaded but the lower module contains
only the input and crosspoint stages. The upper module of the pair routes
inputs 1–16 and the lower module inputs 17–32.
1-2
Two of these 32x16 pairs of modules are used to build up a 32x32 matrix.
The upper pair of modules routes outputs 1–16 and the lower pair outputs
17–32.
In a single frame, there is no redundant power supply available. Dual
power supplies can be installed in the 3RU frame.
Signal Path
Inputs
The Frame
The signal path has been designed to be as short as possible which reduces
the variations in path length between channels and maintains the overall
transparency through the router so important in broadcast applications
where multiple passes through equipment are required.
The video inputs are terminated in 75 Ω .
The main video module contains input buffers which have a high input
impedance to aid the return loss performance and an output capable of
driving the bank of crosspoint switches. The buffers can operate in two
modes: DC restored for use with composite signals or component signals
with sync present.
Crosspoints
Outputs
Alternatively the buffers can be set to operate in a DC coupled mode for
use with RGB or color difference signals which have no sync component.
The mode is selected by the user for each input by jumper links on the main
plug-in video module. This means that a single video matrix can handle a
mixture of composite and component inputs.
The DC restorer is a feedback sync tip restorer which prevents any
crushing of the sync signal.
The video crosspoint matrix consists of an array of 16x1 surface mount
assemblies. Sixteen of these assemblies are required to provide a matrix of
16x16 on each matrix module.
The video modules have output amplifiers built on thick film hybrid
circuits. They incorporate adjustment controls for gain and high frequency
response which are factory set.

Serial Digital Video Routing
The serial digital video matrix is capable of handling signals in the
following formats:
■
143Mb/s D2 NTSC composite
177Mb/s D2 PAL composite
■
270Mb/s D1 component
■
■
360Mb/s D1 component
Signal Path
The signal path is differential throughout to optimize waveform symmetry
and reduce crosstalk, which is important for transmission down long
cables.
Inputs
Crosspoints
The video inputs are terminated in 75 Ω .
The serial video signal passes through an input receiver circuit built onto a
plug-in SIMM socket so that extra channels can be added in the field. These
circuits provide equalization for losses, mainly at high frequencies, to serial
video signals which have travelled down long cables. This equalization is
varied automatically to suit the length and type of video cable used.
The circuit then locks an oscillator to re-clock the signal so that the correct
pulse widths and timings are regenerated. The circuit can be set to any of
the standards mentioned above, each input being programmed into the
setup of the system, either at the factory or from a PC using the SMS-6000
Configuration Editor. The phase-locked loop is designed to minimize the
jitter on the signal.
A single crosspoint chip selects the 16 inputs to the 16 outputs. It is rated to
operate to over 1Gb/s ensuring minimum degradation of edge speeds and
symmetry.
Outputs
1-4
The output amplifiers are designed to drive 75 Ω video cables.
Analog Audio Routing
In the 1RU frame, the main analog audio matrix module provides a dual
channel 16x16 matrix. The 16x4 stereo audio is also a 1RU frame. This
matrix fits in a 1RU frame, which supports only a single power supply.
In the 2RU frame, two 16x16 matrix modules are used to make a 32x16
matrix. The main (lower) audio router module routes inputs 1–16 and the
submodule inputs 17–32. The output stages and their gain adjustments are
installed on the (upper) submodule for accessibility. Two 32x16 pairs of
modules are used to build up a 32x32 mono audio matrix. Dual power
supplies can be installed in this frame. Two frames are used for stereo.
Inputs
The inputs are electronically balanced. This provides a high common mode
rejection ratio over a wide frequency range. Also, the balance is maintained
even if the source is floating. Some designs of electronically balanced
inputs cause the input lines to become unbalanced which can cause an
increase in crosstalk if the input cables are unscreened and run together
over long distances.
Analog Audio Routing
Crosspoints
Outputs
The input and output connectors are 50-pin D connectors.
The signals are filtered to reduce out-of-band high frequency signals and
re-balanced for internal use. The use of balanced circuitry throughout is of
immense value to the overall quality of performance. It improves virtually
every measured parameter by at least a factor of 2 compared to a similar
unbalanced design.
The matrix uses balanced 4x4 crosspoint chips. These exhibit excellent
signal path performance together with minimal crosstalk and switching
noise.
The only adjustment in the audio path is the output gain control. It offers a
±2dB gain control and is mainly provided to allow the gain to be adjusted
up slightly if the outputs are terminated in 600Ω. As this is now an unusual
practice, the insertion gain is factory set for unity into a load of 10kΩ.

Section 1 — Introduction
AES/EBU Digital Audio Routing
The AES/EBU digital audio matrix is capable of handling signals in the
following formats:
■ 32KHz broadcast standard; NICAM
■ 44.1KHz compact disk
■ 48KHz AES/EBU standard
It can be supplied equipped for 16x16 or 32x32.
Inputs
The audio inputs are transformer-coupled and normally terminated in
110Ω.
The audio signal passes through an input receiver circuit which locks an
oscillator to re-clock the signal so that the correct pulse widths and timings
are regenerated. The circuit automatically sets to any of the standards
mentioned above. The phase-locked loop is designed to minimize the jitter
on the signal.
Crosspoints
Outputs
Inputs 1–16 are installed on the main matrix module and Inputs 17–32 on
a submodule.
A single crosspoint chip has the capacity to switch 32 inputs to the 32
outputs.
The output drivers are normally arranged to drive 110Ω lines.
The module has the capability of 32 outputs, but for systems with 16
outputs it is installed with only 16 output stages.

Data Routing
Inputs
Crosspoints
Data Routing
A solid state router is used mainly for machine control, such as to assign
VTRs to an edit controller. RS422 uses four wires with one pair used for the
transmit signal and the other pair for the receive, so the router handles both
a forward and a reverse signal path through the matrix. It can be supplied
equipped for 8x8 or 16x16.
The RS422 inputs are terminated in 110Ω. Inputs 1–8 are installed on the
main matrix module and Inputs 9–16 on a submodule.
Outputs
A single crosspoint chip has the capacity to switch 16 inputs to the 16
outputs.
The output drivers are designed to drive 110Ω lines.
The module has the capability of 16 outputs, but for systems with 8 outputs
it is installed with only 8 output stages.

Section 1 — Introduction
Control System
The microprocessor-based control system activities are:
■ Read buttons and update displays on both local and remote control
■ Respond to data received through the computer port
■ Update the router crosspoint switches
■ Handle the communications between different switching levels such as
The system is shipped with a “basic” configuration. A customer may
change this configuration to fit their specific requirements using the
configuration software. This configuration is normally stored in an
NVRAM inside the Master unit (see below).
The control system maintains its status in a battery-backed memory so that
when the unit is powered down the router remembers its current settings
and on powering up again it switches the unit to those settings. The non-
volatile RAM which stores this information is located inside the Master
unit of the system (see below).

audio and video frames
Configuration Switches
There are a number of switches provided which are used to configure the
system to suit your own requirements. They are briefly described below,
but for more details and a procedure for how to set them up, refer to
Section 2: Installation.
Address Switch
A rotary “hex” switch in each frame and panel determines its unique
address in the system. This ensures that each frame and each panel has a
different code allowing the communications down the coaxial Quick-Link
to distinguish different units. A frame and a panel can share the same code.
The firmware can tell from permanent links on the boards which ones are
panels and which ones are frames.
1-8
Control System
DIP Switches
There are four positions available on the DIP switch at the front of the
crosspoint modules. They operate in the same way for video and audio
crosspoint modules. Refer toTable 1-1 for the correct settings of the DIP
switch for either a master frame or a slave frame.
Table 1-1. Dip Switch Settings
DIP Switch Position Master Frame Slave Frame
1 UP UP
2DOWNUP
3DOWN UP
4UPUP
Control Bus Quick-Link
The Quick-Link used to interconnect the panels and frames uses a single
coaxial cable.
The Quick-Link is daisy-chained from one panel to the next and between
the frames. Messages are sent by injecting signal currents onto the link, to
be received by all the other panels or frames on the line. The link is
terminated with 75Ω at both ends.
A hex switch in each frame and panel sets the identity of each so that they
are correctly addressed by the control system. Up to 16 panels and 16
frames can be supported. Local control panels can be optionally mounted
on any 1RU frame (except 32 x 32 AES/EBU 1RU frame) to increase total
panel count to 32.
Two BNC sockets are provided on the frames fed from a single driver/
receiver. Thus short lengths of coax cable can be used to interconnect the
frames in a multi-frame system by looping through the frames. The panels
use one BNC connector and a T-piece to tap off the Quick-Link into the
panels. In this way a panel can be removed from service without the Quick-
Link being interrupted, even momentarily.
A total run of 500 meters (1641 ft.) of video cable can be used between
panels and the frames.
As part of the fault diagnosis system, detectors are provided in the frame
and panels to identify faults. If either one or both terminations has been
omitted or if the cable is too loose and risks communication errors then
these are highlighted by the control system with LEDs on the front of the
router module. These features are very useful at installation as it enables
the cable and its terminations to be verified.

Baud Rate and Data Format
The emulation mode used by the computer interface is set to VT100 or
compatible at the factory. The baud rate is set to 9600 with 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, and no parity.
External Connections
The wiring of the connectors is different for RS232 and RS422.
The frame has been built to minimize RF emissions. It is important you use
tin and dimple D type connectors with metallized shells connected to the
shield of external cables in order to achieve low RF emissions from this
equipment. The shells are fixed with screwlocks with 4–40 UNC threads.
The RS232 Interface Cable
The interface connector on the router is a 9-pin D socket. The cable between
the PC and the router only needs to use TX, RX, and GND as shown in
