In order to get an overview of the parts that form the Triton Plus SD/HD
Video Router, this section highlights some of the main components.
Switches 1-4 on the configuration switch set the router’s level for communication with the Router Management Sys
tem and other units in the NCB
system. The panels on the NCB dedicated to operate with the router must
be configured to the same level as that router.
If several routers are combined to form an Audio Follow V
ideo, RGB or
similar system, these routers must be configured to the same level.
The levels can be switched according to the patterns given in Ta

Based on the configuration above, the I/O is connected to the router
according to the following schemes in Tabl e 16 through Table 27 where the
physical limitations depend on the type of router that is purchased (8x8,

LED Status Indication
LED Status Indication
Start Up
The LED located at the front of the router indicates the status of the router.
At start-up, the LED will alternate between red (R) and green (G) every
500ms for about two seconds. After the start-up sequence the LED will
indicate the Alarm state of the router.
Alarm States
The LED can either be red (R), green (G), or have no light (N).
The LED state is described in Ta
resenting 100ms, which totals an alarm sequence of two seconds. The X
indicates that the LED keeps the color it has the moment the alarm
sequence begins (green or no light).

Router Communication
You gain access to router for communication purposes by connecting the
router’s serial port to your computer.
Serial Connection
Connection can by made trough the serial port(s) of the router; see also Con-
nection Details on
Router Communication
page 11 for connection details.
The communication parameters are config
urable. Please refer to the pro-
tocol documentation of the appropriate communication/control protocol.
Example: The protocol parameters of the Triton Plus Compact routers are
as follows:
• Bit rate 19200 bit/s
• Data bits 8 bits
• Stop bits 1
• Parity: No parity
For further detail concerning this protocol, please refer to the following
manual: Compact Router Control Protocol.
The DB9 female connector for the serial port(s) of the router has the following pinout (Tab le 3 1):

NCB Connection
Connecting Control Panels
IEEE has specified the maximum cable length for an RS-232 connection to
15m. Longer distances can be installed depending on the environmental
conditions of the installation site. It is the responsibility of the
installer/user to secure a proper installation of the RS-232 connection.
Via the Network Control Bus system, several routers and control panels can
be interconnected.
Up to 16 levels of routers, or combinations of routers, can be controlled. The

The Network Control Bus structure follows the standard MIDI bus definition. The NCB is defined as a closed chain
OUT of the last unit must be connected to the NCB IN of the first unit in the
NCB chain. To avoid problems with the control of Triton Plus units the
installer/user has to assure that the bus structure is installed according to
this definition.
Note The total number of Triton Plus devices in an NCB chain is limited to 50.
Maximum Distance Between NCB Devices
The standard MIDI definition allows a maximum cable length of 200-250
meters between two devices. Longer distances can be made with MIDI
