Introduction
Section 1 − Introduction
The Jupiter Control System is designed to control Grass V alley Crosspoint Bus* and certain other distribution switchers, ESbus* or other RS−422* VTRs and film scanner systems, and other RS−422/ESbus devices. The devices to be operated are
connected to a Jupiter system controller, which is in turn connected to Jupiter control panels. The control processor is configured using the Jupiter file server* (Figure 1−1). Present Jupiter systems may include VM 3000, SI 3000, and/or CM 4000
System Controllers. (The CM 4000 is described in a separate manual.)
Note: some Jupiter Control System functions are extra−cost options. See page 1−29.
System Controllers
VM 3000 SYSTEM CONTROLLER
The VM 3000 module provides a full range of support for distribution switching systems, machine control, and remote control
panels. The VM 3000 can be used in all applications from simple stand−alone systems with a router and a few control panels to
the most sophisticated facility control systems with multiple router frames, extensive control panels, master control switchers,
and automation systems. This flexibility is possible because the user’s choice of capabilities can be downloaded from the
Jupiter file server PC running Jupiter control system software. Since the same electronics can function in a full range of applications, the VM 3000 preserves the user’s investment by assuring a future upgrade path. (For detailed VM 3000 specifications, see page 1−9.)
VM 3000 VGA Status Display
The VM 3000 provides a VGA output for system status display, with basic controls located on the front panel. The VGA output is designed to give a great deal of flexibility to the user in defining what kind of system information will be displayed
at a particular location on the VGA screen. The types of information, or “fields,” that can be displayed are:
Switcher Output Status (any level)
Switcher Input Status (any level)
Machine Status (Play, Stop, Record, etc.)
Machine Delegation Status
Machine Linkage Status (Which control panel it’s currently linked to)
System Time and Date
System Control Board Status (Active, Inactive)
System Control Board Time Source (Time Code Reader, File Server, etc.)
System Control Board Messages (Also displayed by the logger)
Pathfinding (Tie Line) Status
The type and location of these fields are determined by a user−entered DOS ASCII text file.
*Terms marked with an asterisk are defined in Glossary at the back of the manual.
1−3VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
Introduction
SI 3000 SYSTEM CONTROLLER
The SI 3000 module extends the range of the Jupiter Control System by providing additional serial ports for connecting additional devices to the system. This module provides 16 additional ports to interface with a full range of devices when the eight
ports on the core VM 3000 Control Processor have been filled. For SI 3000 specifications, see page 1−11.
CM 4000 SYSTEM CONTROLLER
The CM 4000, which is the platform for the JupiterXPress and Jupiter AccuSwitch applications, is described in the CM 4000
System Controller Installation and Operating Manual, part no. 071−8261−xx.
Control panels
Jupiter control panels are designed to be as simple, flexible, and inexpensive as possible. They use a message−per−keystroke
(MPK) technique in order to reduce the cost of the on−board microprocessor required by the full ESbus specification. System
software is maintained in a central file server from where it is downloaded to the control processors as required.
All control panels are connected to the controlled device through a VM/SI 3000 System Controller, using either the multi−
point or single−point method.
For information beyond that given in the following summary, please refer to the control panel model number in the Index.
SWITCHER CONTROL PANELS
The CP 300 one−rack unit series includes the CP 300 24 x 1 Single Bus Control Panel; the CP 310 24 x 8 Eight Bus Control
Panel; the CP 320 full−matrix, 16−category panel with a dedicated protect key; and the CP 330 Control Panel. The CP 330
can be configured as a 48 x 1, 24 x 2, or 48 x 6 panel. The CP 328 is similar to the CP 320 but has eight−character display
windows.
The CP 2002 uses 16 LCD back−lit buttons that allow source mnemonics to be displayed in the button frame. The panel allows
operators to select up to 256 sources by scrolling to additional pages. The colors of the buttons change to indicate the active
source.
The CP 3000 switcher control panel can be configured for single−bus control (allowing selection of a source for one destination), multi−bus control, or full matrix control (selection of a source for any destination). The CP 3000 panel is used to select
one of 20 source categories (VTR, CAM, etc.) and then, using a 10−key pad, a unit within the category. Crosspoint status*
is provided by the display window. Additional push buttons provide breakaway (control of individual switcher levels such
as left audio, time code, etc), chop,* lock,* protect,* and override* switching. A password can be assigned to the panel if
desired. The CP 3000 can also be operated in connection with an adjacent CP 3010 expansion panel. For example, for multi−
bus control, the desired source can be selected on the CP 3000; the CP 3010 would then display the names of eight destinations,
beneath which are eight corresponding T AKE keys; one of these would be pressed to complete the switch. The page of eight
destinations can be scrolled to display up to 160 possible destinations.
The CP 3020 is a single bus control panel that can select one of 20 inputs. The push buttons illuminate to indicate status and
can be fitted with user−supplied transparent labels. Dedicated chop and lock buttons are included. Up to four CP 3021 Push
button Expansion panels can be added to the CP 3020, allowing button−per−input selection of up to 100 inputs.
1−4VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
Introduction
The CP 3800 is a universal, eight−character mnemonic, switcher and machine control panel. When operated in the “multiple
destination mode,” the CP 3800 can be used to control from 1 to 80 destinations, with the names of eight of those destinations
(and the status for each) on display simultaneously. In the “single destination mode,” one destination is selected for control,
and the display window shows the status for each level of that destination (video, left audio, right audio, etc.).
The CP 3808 control panel is a 16−category, full−matrix, multiple level breakaway panel capable of locking and protecting
outputs. The CP 3830 is a 12−category, full−matrix, multiple−level breakaway panel, capable of locking, protecting, and
chopping outputs. Dual CP 3830 panels can be configured so that one of the panels is always used for destination selection;
dual output mode is also possible with two panels side by side. Both the CP 3808 and CP 3830 can be operated in connection
with an adjacent CP 3809 Expansion Panel. All three panels feature eight−character display capability and relegendable,
lighted push buttons.
The CP 3830 can be configured to control two outputs, with the second output used for preview. In this mode, the panel is
referred to as a “CP 3830P.”
The CP 3824 control panel is a locally−programmable, full−matrix, multiple level breakaway panel capable of locking and
protecting outputs. The panel features eight−character display capability and relegendable, lighted push buttons. The 24 button−per−source keys on the left side of the panel are initially assigned to inputs from the file server, but some or all can be
re−assigned t o new inputs at any time using only the panel itself. Sources can also be selected by scrolling up or down an LED
display of “Preset” mnemonics or by using the Category/Number keypad.
The CP 3832 is a button−per−source panel configurable for 32 X 1 or 16 X 16 operation. The panel includes buttons for T AKE,
LOCK, and PROTECT. The CP 3864 is a button−per−source panel configurable for 64 X 1 or 32 X 32 operation and includes
buttons for TAKE, LOCK, PROTECT, and CHOP. Both panels can be grouped with additional CP 3832s or a CP 3864 to
provide up to 128 X 128 control. The CP 3810 expansion panel can be associated with a CP 3832, CP 3864, CP 3808, or CP
3830, providing control of up to 80 outputs. The CP 3810 can be operated as a status display only (no control) for one output,
and as a limited−function machine control panel providing Play and Stop commands for VTRs.
MACHINE CONTROL PANELS
The MC 3000 machine control panel, which is capable of operating any of the machines described above, includes a series
of push buttons for motion control (PLA Y, ST OP, etc.). A variable speed knob, with a color−coded direction/speed indicator,
is included. When used with a serial control VTR, the panel provides a continuous display of the machine’s time code. Also
available is the MC 3010 machine control panel, which includes a gang−start function and illuminating push buttons.
A variety of machine assignment systems are available:
The MC 3020L Linkage panel can be used to manually assign control of a particular machine to a particular
control panel.
Alternatively, machine assignment to a control panel can be made to occur automatically, using a “follow−the−
switcher” technique (software linkage).
The MC 3020D panel provides a combination of the above techniques. Control can be delegated to a single
remote panel, a group of panels, multiple groups, or to all remote panels; a routing switch command follows the
delegation process to complete the link to the control panel.
Machines can also be permanently assigned to specific control panels if desired.
1−5VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
Introduction
The CP 3800 and Software Control Panel Suite (described below) are also available for machine control applications.
ESBUS CONTROL PANELS
In addition to the MPK control panels just described, the VM/SI 3000 will support other machine control panels that meet
all ESbus specifications.
SOFTWARE CONTROL PANEL SUITE (GUI CONTROL PANEL)
The Software Control Panel Suite (“Graphical User Interface”) consists of seven routing switcher and machine control applications plus a configuration application. Only one of the applications can be activated at a time.
The software operates on a PC using the Jupiter Network Suite (JNS) software, which provides the interface to the Jupiter
Control system through the Jupiter LAN. The Software Control Panels are designed for mouse or touchscreen operation.
The panels can be run on the Jupiter file server, on one or more separate PCs on the Jupiter LAN, or on both.
Tally
Using the MI 3040 General Purpose / Tally Interface, the Jupiter system can follow a source, such as a camera or VTR, through
as many as five switchers and turn on the tally light next to the source when it is switched to air. Switchers that are on−air
can also be tallied. Multiple sources will be tallied simultaneously during keys, special effects, etc.
Status Displays
Under Monitor Displays
The Grass Valley SlimLine UMDs combine status and tally functions in the same chassis and are available in a wide range
of sizes and types. SlimLine UMDs are described on page 2−127.
Certain third−party UMDs are also compatible with Jupiter equipment. See page 1−32.
§
File Server (Configuration PC)
The PC 3000 File Server supplied by Grass Valley is described in detail on page 1−15.
When the system is initialized, program information is downloaded from the file server to the control processor(s). Field upgrades and modifications can thus be made through this single station.
System Logger
Provides the user with system status display in a window on the PC file server . It also may be run on a stand−alone PC running
a PC 3000 LAN card.
§
For touchscreen operation, the PC and monitor must be supplied by Grass Valley.

GVG Horizon Matrix Control − Allows Jupiter to control GVG Horizon routing switchers with a Horizon C−Bus GPI interface. Each Horizon router uses one serial port pair, or two serial ports, of the VM 3000. Each VM 3000 is limited to one router.
Router sizes are limited by GVG.
Vistek Array Matrix Control − Allows Jupiter to control Vistek Array routing switchers with an RS−422 interface. Each
Vistek router uses one serial port pair, or two serial ports, of the VM 3000. Each VM 3000 is limited to one router. Router
sizes are limited by Vistek.
Utah Scientific Control − Allows Jupiter to control Utah Scientific routing switchers with a Utah PL−320 or UDI−1B interface. Each Utah router uses one serial port pair, or two serial ports, of the VM 3000. Each VM 3000 is limited to one router.
Router sizes are limited by Utah Scientific.
Other serial protocols supported are Microvideo, Nexus, Novotronic, and Sony (PURS)
MACHINE CONTROL
VTRs can be those equipped for basic RS−422 control (such as most late model Philips, Panasonic, and Sony machines) or
full ESbus control (such as the Philips DCR−500). Each VTR using the basic RS−422 control scheme requires one dedicated
port of a VM/SI 3000 system control interface, which is the interface used between RS−422/ESbus devices and the thin net.
ESbus VTRs can be connected in loop−through fashion to a single port of a VM/SI 3000 (ESbus multi−point scheme), or,
to individual ports of the VM/SI 3000 (ESbus single−point scheme). The single−point technique requires more wiring but
has a speed advantage over the multi−point method.
Film scanners and other devices capable of RS−422 control can also be connected to the Jupiter LAN by means of a VM/SI
3000. Additional interfaces, such as the MI 3040 General Purpose / Tally Interface, are available for most parallel−control
machines.
INTEGRATION WITH MASTER CONTROL AND AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
The Jupiter Control System can be connected to a Saturn Master Control Switcher. The Jupiter can also be connected to an
automation computer.
EXTERNAL CONTROL PROTOCOLS
ESbus Tributary − Used by external computers and automation systems sending switch messages into the Jupiter Control
System. It uses one serial port pair for each device.
E−MEM Interface − Provides an interface to the E−MEM Learn and Recall features of the Grass Valley DD Series and
GVG−200 Production Switchers. Also provides switching and statusing capabilities on the DD switcher. The GVG−200 uses
one serial port pair. The DD uses two pairs, one for E−MEM and one for switching.
ASCII Protocol − Used by external computers and automation systems sending switch messages into the Jupiter Control
System. It uses one serial port for each device. Router size is limited to 1000 inputs and 1000 outputs (000−999) on seven
levels.
GRASS VALLEY PARTY LINE CONTROL OPTION
Party line* control panels supplied with existing TVS/TAS 2000 switchers can optionally be incorporated into a Jupiter system through the VM 3000 Party Line port.

SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Maximum Number of Logical Levels
The system−wide maximum number of logical levels is 96§. However, the actual number of levels a VM 3000 can control
in a particular system varies.
The main constraint on the number of levels and outputs a VM 3000 can safely control is the available memory in PMEM,
or backed−up permanent memory. When a VM 3000 starts up, the old status tables are used to generate a completely new
set of status tables. Therefore, no more that half of the total available memory may be used to store switcher status. The VM
3000 has 512 Kb of PMEM available. That means that no more than 262,144 bytes may be used for router status tables.
This formula for router status table PMEM memory usage is based on the worst−case scenario. It assumes that every physical
output on every logical level in the system has its own unique entry in a Switcher Output Table. The formula for each VM
3000 in the system is:
(14 x TL) + (6 x TL x PO) + (10 x PO) + 600 < 262,144
Where: TL = the total number of logical levels controlled by this VM 3000
PO = the total number of physical outputs on ALL levels controlled by this VM 3000
This total must be less than 262,144. For example, in Figure 2−1 a 25−level switcher can have up to 64 outputs per level.
§
Some of the functions described in this section may be extra−cost options. For more information, see page 1−29.

It is easy to see that if the logical levels in the Jupiter system consist of small routers with few outputs per logical level, more
of these levels can be controlled by a single VM 3000. However, if the Jupiter system consists of larger routers, fewer of these
levels can be controlled by a single VM 3000, and the system’s router control must be “broken up,” or distributed among
multiple VM 3000s.
In this worst−case scenario, all Saturn Internal levels may be ignored. These levels are controlled directly by the Saturn Processors, and not by VM 3000 boards.
Versions of Jupiter prior to 5.1.0 will not handle edit sets which have more than 64 levels. Should you attempt to edit such
a set, the Jupiter Configurator (editor) will detect the error in the Switcher Description table and will not run correctly. Another
symptom is that the Configurator will not exit properly. (If you mistakenly do edit a set with more than 64 levels with a pre
5.1.0 version of Jupiter, terminate the Configurator, delete the invalid set from the YourJupiterDirectory\Config directory,
delete the YourJupiterDirectory\Config\ics_conf file, and re−execute the Configurator.)
CP 38xx Control Panel
If you intend to control more than 32 levels from a CP 3830P or more than 64 levels from other CP 38xx panels, a control
panel firmware upgrade will need to be ordered from the factory.
VM/SI 3000 Serial Bus Loading
Recommendations for maximum number of devices per bus and processor board
Base Load Factors
The following are the base load factors for the specified devices and are subject to the multiplier described under “Calculating
Loading” on page 1−20:
1−18VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
Introduction
— Each CP 3800 Control Panel counts as four devices; therefore, a maximum of 16 can be connected to a VM
3000 (two per serial port). However, for the SI 3000 there is a special limitation: only 16 CP 3800 panels can be
connected to a single SI 3000.
Note: The CP 3800 cannot be run from an SC 3000. It can only be connected to a VM/SI 3000.
— Each MC 3000 Machine Control Panel counts as eight devices; i.e., only one MC 3000 can be connected to a
port. Also, a special limitation exists for MC 3000 panels because of the amount of time code being processed:
If eight or more machines are in the system, then the maximum number of MC 3000s in the system is eight.
(There is not a limit to the number of machines in the system; only a limit to the number of MC 3000s in the
system.)
— Each MC 3010 Machine Control Panel also counts as two devices; however , this number remains the same
even for an MC 3010/2 Dual 4 Machine Panel.
— Each MI 3040/3040T General Purpose/Tally Interface counts as two devices. However, there is an absolute
maximum of four MI 3040s per SI/VM, or SI/VM redundant pair. Further, there is a maximum of two MI
3040s per port pair.
§
— Each CP 300Series Control Panel, CP 3000 Switcher Control Panel, CP 3020 Push Button Control Panel,
and Saturn MCC−3500 Control Console counts as one device.
— Each CP 3808 Control Panel, CP 3824 Control Panel, CP 3830 Control Panel, and CP 3809 Expansion Panel
counts as one device. For example, a CP 3808 with a CP 3809 Expansion Panel would count as two devices.
— Each CP 3832 Control Panel, CP 3864 Control Panel, and CP 3810 Expansion Panel counts as one device.
For example, a CP 3832 with a CP 3810 Expansion Panel would count as two devices.
— Each MC 3020D Machine Delegate Panel, MC 3020L Linkage Panel, Under Monitor Display, and
VC−3020 Video Display Control Panel counts as one−half a device.
— CP 3010 Expansion Panels and CP 3021 Push Button Expansion Panels are not counted.
— Each CP 2002B/D Control Panel counts as four devices; therefore, a maximum of 16 can be connected to a
VM 3000 (two per serial port). However, for the SI 3000 there is a special limitation: only 24 CP 2002B/D
panels can be connected to a single SI 3000.
Fixed Load Factors
The following load factors are fixed and are not subject to the multiplier described below under “Calculating Loading”:
— If a VM 3000’s Crosspoint Bus is in use, it counts as thirty devices on that VM 3000.
— Each instance of a “remote” (non−Crosspoint Bus) switcher protocol counts as twenty devices.
— Each instance of ES−bus (“VTR Interface”) counts as eight devices with no more than eight occurrences of
ES−bus system wide due to the amount of time code being processed.
§
Additional limitations for the MI 3040 are described on page 1−22.
1−19VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
Introduction
— Each instance of the ASCII protocol counts as eight devices.
— Each instance of serial machine control (Sony machine, Ampex machine, etc.) counts as eight devices.
— Each instance of ESswitch counts as follows:
If the switch rate is less than one switch per second sustained past five seconds, that instance counts as
twenty devices.
If the switch rate is greater than one switch per second sustained past five seconds, that instance counts
as eighty devices.
Calculating Loading
— A maximum of eight devices may be assigned to an addressable controller port.
— Only one Sony VTR can be connected per port. Only one Ampex VTR can be connected per port. For ESbus
VTRs, one machine per port is recommended; this insures that the best possible response is realized.
— In order to calculate loading and quantity of processors required, the following steps should be followed:
1.Sum all base and fixed loading factors in the system.
2.If the system wide sum of all base and fixed loading factors is less than 160, this system is considered a “lightly” loaded system and a base multiplier of 1.0 should be used in later calculations.
3.If the system wide sum of all base and fixed loading factors is greater than or equal to 160 but less than 320,
this system would be considered a “medium” loaded system and a base multiplier of 1.5 should be used in
later calculations.
4.If the system wide sum of all base and fixed loading factors is greater than or equal to 320, this system is
considered a “heavily” loaded system and a base multiplier of 2.0 should be used in later calculations.
5.Using the base multiplier specified above based upon the system wide sum of the base and fixed loading factors, distribute the devices throughout the system not exceeding the following maximum loading for the VM
3000 and SI 3000 processors:
VM 3000 maximum loading: 100
SI 3000 maximum loading: 160
Note: The base multiplier is based upon the sum of the device counts of all devices system wide, NOT upon the
devices on any single processor board. Therefore, if the sum of the device counts is 400 system wide, you must
use a base multiplier of 2.0 when configuring the system. You can not merely sum the devices connected to each
individual processor using a base multiplier of 1.0 and keep this sum under the specified maximum loading.
Example
A system is to contain the following:
1−20VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
Introduction
2 channels of Saturn (1 DVP, 2 DAPs per channel). (Saturn Video and Audio Processors do not directly contrib-
ute to Jupiter loading)
1 Saturn MCC 3500 Master Control Console with the Select panel used for delegation purposes. (Saturn MCC
3500 panels do not directly contribute to Jupiter loading unless the Select panel is used with a backup switcher)
1 Saturn DVE (Sony serial machine protocol)
Venus router control
1 remote router control
4 MC 3000 Machine Control panels
8 serial machines
1 ESswitch with a switch rate less than 1 per second sustained past 5 seconds
1 ESswitch with a switch rate greater than 1 per second sustained past 5 seconds
30 CP 328 Control Panels
8 CP 3800 Control Panels
4 CP 3864 Control Panels
Determine the Base Multiplier:

Since the sum of the base and fixed load factors of all devices in the system is greater than or equal to 320, this would be
considered a heavily loaded system. Therefore, the indicated Base Multiplier (BM) would be 2.
One possible configuration of this system might then be:
Saturn DVP
Saturn DAP
Saturn MCC 3500
Saturn DVE
Venus Router Control
Remote Router Control
MC 3000
Serial Machines
ESswitch (<1/sec sustained)
ESswitch (>1/sec sustained)
CP 328
CP 3800
CP 3864
In the example above, SI1 and SI2 have been heavily loaded while SI3 is minimally loaded. This was done merely to demonstrate the maximum loading for a processor. If one were actually configuring this system (since there is no way to accommodate all devices on VM1, SI1, and SI2) the loading should be more evenly distributed to include SI3.
Additional MI 3040 Limitations
The maximum quantity of Opto Change messages transmitted to a VM/SI 3000 via MPK from all attached MI 3040 devices
(hardware or emulated) is restricted to no more than eight per second. Exceeding this restriction may result in queue
overflows, loss of data, and incorrect tally indications. This restriction was established following tests utilizing the maximum
number of four MI 3040s on a single, idle VM 3000. Performance will be further degraded by 1) having a larger quantity of
MI 3040s in the system on multiple VM/SI 3000 processors, and 2) increasing the processor load of the VM/SI 3000 through
switching, statusing, and other normal system activity. Performance may also be set dependent.

Section 2 − Hardware Installation
Unpacking and Inspection
Each Jupiter Control System is tested, inspected, and found free of defects prior to shipment. Before unpacking the equipment,
inspect the shipping carton for evidence of freight damage. If the contents have been damaged, notify the carrier and Grass
Valley. Retain all shipping cartons and padding material for inspection by the carrier.
Do not return damaged merchandise to Grass Valley until an appropriate claim has been filed with the carrier and a material
return authorization number has been received from us.
Quick Start tip: If your Jupiter equipment was purchased from Grass Valley as a “turnkey”
system, you may wish to refer to the Jupiter Getting Started Guide, part no. 04-045707-003.
This booklet provides an abbreviated version of the information in this section.
110/230 VAC Selection
Most panels are auto sensing; otherwise, power line adjustments are normally made at the factory, based on the location of
the end−user. However, verifying these settings before applying power is a good practice.
CP 3020 Control Panels
Control panel input voltage selection is made with a rotary switch on the rear panel. There are no internal adjustments. Installation of control panels continues on page 2−50.
CP 300 Series Control Panels
These panels use an external power supply. See page 2−50.
File Server
Check to see if the PC file server supplied with the system has a voltage selector switch for the power supply on the rear panel,
and if so, that the proper mains voltage is set.
Installation instructions for the file server begin on page 2−43.

VM 3000 Switch Settings
Rotary switches S3 and S2 are
used to set the device address

Rack Mounting
Grass Valley recommends that each control chassis be near most of the devices which it will control, thus reducing system
cabling. The VM 3000 Control Processor should be located near the distribution switcher. Leaving ventilation space between
the rack mount units is not necessary.
System diagrams are shown in the following pages.

VM 3000 Connection to Distribution Switchers
GRASS VALLEY CROSSPOINT BUS ROUTERS
The VM 3000 can be used to control Apex, Trinix, Concerto, and other routers listed in Figure 2−3.
— For conventional (square matrix) switchers (such as Apex, Trinix, and Concerto), only one VM 3000 will typi-
cally be required (or two for redundancy purposes), since a single unit is capable of controlling up to 1024
video or audio outputs in each of 96 logical levels.§ For a redundant installation, see page 2−4.
— If the switcher is of the three−stage type, multiple VM 3000s may be needed. Please refer to Appendix H after
reviewing this section.
The various switchers listed below can be mixed on the same Grass Valley Crosspoint Bus; however, the VM 3000 drives
the matrix according to “super” Crosspoint Bus rules.
Note: A majority of TVS/TAS 2000 model switchers presently in the field will require updated crosspoint board
state PROMs in order to accept super Crosspoint Bus signals. Older units in the 2000 series may also require audio
crosspoint board modifications in order for the correct PROMs to be installed.
The VM 3000 must be configured using the Network Description table (page 5−22) and the Switcher Description table (page
5−31).

The CC 2010 cable is used to connect the VM 3000 Control Processor to the switcher Crosspoint Bus. Depending on the size
of the switcher, this bus may require intermediate buffering through the CB 3000 Control Buffer. See Figure 2−3.
The CC 2010 is a 10−conductor (plus ground) cable. The following ready−made cables, with installed 15−pin D male connectors, are available from Grass Valley:
All rear−panel Crosspoint Bus connectors are 15−pin D, female. For Concerto and Trinix applications, the crosspoint bus must
be terminated at the point farthest from the control processor using a Crosspoint Bus Terminator, part number
01−053050−001. For other routers, no termination is required.
For specific wiring instructions concerning CC 2010 Crosspoint Bus Cables, please refer to the installation diagrams supplied
with your switcher.
For those who wish to prepare their own cables, pin−outs are shown in Figure 2−9. The cable itself should be Belden 9505
or equivalent. Steps should be taken to shield the connectors, e.g., using EMI housings or ferrite cores. Details concerning
ferrite cores are given in Figure 2−11.

The CB 3000 Control Buffer is required for buffering crosspoint data when more than 50 TVS/TAS 3000 or TVS/TAS 2000
matrix boards (or more than 96 Venus crosspoint boards) are installed in a switching matrix. A CB 3000 is also required if
the Crosspoint Bus is sent to more than one equipment rack. Each of the eight CB 3000 outputs can drive up to 50 (TVS/TAS)
or up to 96 (Venus) crosspoint boards. See page 2−3.
For Trinix requirements, please refer to the “Planning Guide” section of the Trinix Installation Manual.
Apex audio routers do not require a CB 3000—regardless of system expansion—because the crosspoint bus is connected only
to one chassis.
Some systems may be equipped with one or more single−output CB 2000 Control Buffers rather than a CB 3000. Please refer
to the wiring information supplied with your switcher for details.
Each CB 3000 output contains two identical channels, with channel A normally used; this condition is indicated by the eight
green LEDs in the display window. If a fault is detected in channel A, that output will automatically switch to channel B; in
this case the green LEDs would be off and one or more red LEDs would be on. If a changeover occurs, first check to see if
the unit will return to normal operation by pressing the SELECT A button:
— If the unit returns to channel A operation, but a red LED remains on, press CLEAR. If the red LED(s) go off, it
can be assumed that the unit is fully operational.
— If the unit immediately returns to channel B operation, contact Grass Valley Technical Support.
For a description of the front panel window LEDs, see Appendix R.
VDE EMI/RFI Modifications to Matrix Cables
User−supplied matrix cables for VDE installations require a ferrite core over each end of the cable, adjacent to the connector.
Figure 2−12. Connection to serial control routers (example).
The VM 3000 Control Processor can be used to control certain non−Crosspoint Bus switchers using serial interface ports (Figure 2−12). Control of some of these routers is an extra−cost option; such routers are referred to as “remote” routers.§
A single VM 3000 can be used to operate one or more switchers through the Grass Valley Crosspoint Bus, while operating
up to four separate “serial” switchers through the serial ports.
Please note the restrictions for this application shown in Figure 2−13.
Note 1: The SI 3000 cannot be used to operate a serial−control switcher.
Note 2: Vertical interval switching of a switcher connected to a VM 3000 serial port depends on the sync system
of the switcher itself. Sync connections to the VM 3000 have no effect on the operation of the serial switcher.
The VM 3000 must be configured using the Network Description table (page 5−22); Serial Protocol table (page 5−25), and
Switcher Description table (page 5−31).
Please refer to the following pages for details concerning each switcher type. The manual supplied with the switcher should
also be checked for port configuration instructions.

TRITON SYSTEMS
Triton routers are connected using an odd−numbered VM 3000 serial port. SI 3000 serial ports cannot be used. Multiple T riton
chassis can be connected to a single VM, but only if all them are connected on the same MIDI bus and connected through
the same single serial port. If more than one Triton MIDI bus is needed, the switchers on that bus must be connected to another
VM.
The serial connector on Triton routers is a 9−pin RS−232 signal level port. Since the VM has RS−422 ports, a RS−422 to
RS−232 converter must be used to ensure reliable communications. Please refer to Figure 2−14.

A T riton−to−Jupiter Serial Control Kit, available from Grass Valley, includes a B&B Electronics 422COR RS−232/RS−422
Converter, a B&B Universal Power Supply, a 25 ft. (7.6 m) VM/CM to Converter Cable, and a 5 ft. (7.6 m) Converter to Triton
Cable. The part number of this kit is 44-050456-001.
Multiple Triton switchers are connected with a MIDI bus loop (as detailed in the Triton manual). In a typical video/audio
switching application, each chassis is set with a unique “Router Address” from 0 to 15 (DIP switches 1−4 on the rear panel).
Note that split switching is possible, but only between chassis; e.g., Audio Left/Right can be split from V ideo, but Audio Left
cannot be split from Audio Right.
In RGB or YUV applications where all three signals must always switch together, the Router Address should be set to the
same value on each chassis.

Up to 20 chassis can be connected in one MIDI loop.
Note 1: some Triton switchers have front−panel controls. to be shown on Jupiter control panels. These controls
will operate normally when the router is connected to a Jupiter system but Jupiter 6.0 and after software is required
in order for Triton status to be indicated on Jupiter panels.
Note 2: all RS−232/422 connections should be complete and all MIDI bus loop connections should be made and
terminated at the originating device before applying power to the Triton router.
In order for a Triton analog video router to switch on Vertical Interval as set in the Switcher Description Table, rear−panel
DIP 7 must be DOWN and a sync reference signal must be connected to Input No. 1. The reference signal must be composite

DATATEK D−2000/2166 CONNECTIONS
The VM 3000 can be connected to a Datatek D−2166 Buffer Control Module, which in turn is connected to a D−2000 Series
routing switcher (see page 2−27). The protocol setting is: 38400 baud, 8 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit.
Although the VM 3000 is connected to one of the D−2166 Buffer Control Module ports labelled “RS−232,” the port must
be set with an internal jumper to operate according to RS−422. Refer to the manual supplied with the D−2166 for more information.
