MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

1 Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Matrix Switch Corporation product. This section contains a general overview of device functionality and provides information to get you up and running quickly. Additional sections in this manual can be consulted for more detailed information on the subsystems and features of this product.

1.1 Device Connections

The MSC-HD121DEL comes with a power supply adapter, a redundant power supply (if ordered) and a documentation CD. Additional cables and hardware are not usually provided.

• Power supply adapter – A 5 VDC 4 Amp power supply adapter is provided which is connected to the

5.5mm OD 2.5mm ID coaxial connector on the device and plugged into a 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power source.

• Redundant power supply (Optional) – The additional redundant power supply can be connected via the second power supply connector (if applicable), to provide an additional power source in the event

that one of the supplies fails or is disconnected from the power source.

• Ethernet connector (Optional) – Connect to a network switch with an Ethernet cable. Required for accessing the web page interface, TCP/IP Mascot interface or for interfacing with remote control panels.

This device can also be connected directly to a computer or remote panel (with a crossover Ethernet cable).

• SDI BNC Video Inputs – Connect SDI sources to input connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable with BNC connectors designed for high speed SDI video applications. Unused inputs can be left

unconnected. Inputs with supported standard rate (3G, HD or SD) SDI signals will be auto re-clocked for reduced jitter. Other non standard rates between 125 Mbit/s and 2.97 Gbit/s will be passed through without re-clocking or jitter reduction. Adaptive cable equalization on each input can equalize input signals from Belden type 1694A cables up to lengths of 120m (@3G), 140m (@HD) and 400m (@SD).

• SDI BNC Video Outputs – Connect SDI destinations to output connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable with BNC connectors designed for high speed SDI video applications. Unused outputs can be left

unconnected. Outputs utilize standard SMPTE levels of 800mV peak-to-peak. This model features quad redundant SDI outputs.

• Composite Video – Connect composite video sources to input connectors and destinations to output connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable with BNC connectors. Unused inputs or outputs can be left

unconnected.

• AES Digital Audio – Connect AES digital audio sources to input connectors and destinations to output connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable with BNC connectors. Unused inputs or outputs can be left

unconnected. This model features quad redundant AES outputs.

• Sync Reference (Optional) – If switching on vertical sync pulse is desired, connect one of the Sync Reference connectors to a sync pulse signal (NTSC, PAL or tri-level) using 75 Ohm Coax with BNC

connectors and the other Sync Reference connector can be used as a pass-through to additional properly 75 Ohm terminated equipment or a 75 Ohm terminator should be installed. If the sync reference functionality is not used, both connectors can be left unconnected.

• RS-232 Serial (Optional) – If serial control is desired, using the Mascot P rotocol, connect a D9 female to male straight through cable to a control system, such as a computer. Use 9600 bps 8N1 as the serial

configuration and enable local echo to see typed characters. See Serial Interface Pinout for additional

MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

details.

1.2 Powering Up The Device

This device is not equipped with a power switch and is simply connected to the power supply adapter which is plugged into a suitable AC power source, to power it up.

Once the device is powered it goes through the following startup sequence:

• 5 second startup delay to allow for Power On Software Updates.

• Routing matrix is initialized to Preset 0 state (defaults to source 1 connected to all destinations).

• The button control panel is initialized and buttons are illuminated to show the initial routing status.

1.3 Front Panel Button Interface

The MSC-HD121DEL is equipped with a 12x1 button panel which provides one of several options for controlling and viewing the status of the routing matrix.

This panel interface provides control of a single output. The current active input is indicated by the given numbered input button being lit. Pressing a numbered input button will connect that input to the single output.

1.3.1 Audio Breakaway

This panel interface has dedicated Video and Audio toggle buttons. When both Video and Audio buttons are not lit, the panel is in audio follows video mode, where both video and audio levels are switched. To make routing changes to video only, toggle the Video button on and then press the desired input button. The same procedure can be used to switch audio only by toggling the Audio button on. To return to "audio follows video" mode, toggle the applicable Video or Audio button off by pressing it.

1.4 Web Page Interface

All Matrix Switch Corporation router and panel devices come with a built-in web page interface.

This is the recommended interface for configuration and is also a convenient way to control the matrix routing of the device.

Devices come factory configured with default settings, unless a pre-configuration request is made during purchase, an example being a multi device application.

1.4.1 Accessing The Web Page Interface

The default network IP address for this device is 192.168.2.60. Refer to the table below for the default IP addresses for other types of Matrix Switch Corporation devices.

Device Type Default IP Address

Video/Audio Routers 192.168.2.60

Remote Button Panels 192.168.2.64

Remote LCD Screen Panels 192.168.2.80

Table 2: Default System IP Addresses

MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

To access the web page interface of the device:

1. Connect the Ethernet port of a computer either directly to the device using a crossover cable to the same Ethernet network through a network switch or other LAN infrastructure.

2. Manually configure the computer's IP address to be a unique address on the same IP subnet as the device. For example 192.168.2.10. The Netmask should be 255.255.255.0. A Gateway address is not necessary for this purpose, but could be set to 192.168.2.1.

3. Make sure the device is powered on.

4. Using a web browser on the computer, enter the device's IP address into the Location bar and press ENTER. The device web page interface should load. If the web page interface fails to load, double check the computer's network settings and physical Ethernet connections. In the event that the IP address of the device is unknown, refer to the Unknown IP Address troubleshooting section.

1.4.2 Network Settings

Network settings can be changed on the Config tab of the Web Page Interface. This includes DHCP enable, IP address, Netmask and Gateway settings. DHCP should only be used for assigning specific network settings from a central DHCP server or when assigned IP addresses can be determined, otherwise configuring the device via its IP address would be prevented if the IP address is unknown. After changing network settings, click the Save button and then click the Reboot button to restart the device. Refer to the Config Tab - Network Settings section for more details.

In the event that the device's IP address is unknown, refer to the Unknown IP Address troubleshooting section.

Refer to the Network Planning section for assistance with developing a network plan for multi-device applications.

1.4.3 Matrix Routing

The Routing tab of the Web Page Interface provides a convenient way to view and change the matrix routing state and is the default page shown.

A preset can also be recalled from this interface, by selecting one from the Load Preset drop down control.

Refer to the Routing Tab section for more details.

1.4.4 Labels

Labels can be assigned to video (and audio if applicable) sources and destinations. Labels can also be assigned to presets. Labels can be up to 8 characters in length. The default source labels use “Src” as a prefix, and the destination labels use “Dest” as a prefix (example: Src1). The presets are labeled “Startup” for Preset 0 and “PresetN”, where N is a number from 1 to 9, for the remaining presets.

The Labels Tab on the Web Page Interface can be used for modifying labels. Click the Save button to store any changes that are made. Refer the Labels Tab section for more details.

1.4.5 Presets

There are 10 stored matrix routing presets. Preset 0 is recalled on power up and by default routes source 1 to all destinations. All other presets default to “No Change” for all destinations, which when recalled will have no effect. Presets can assign a partial subset of destinations or all destinations as desired.

MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

Presets can be modified on the Presets Tab of the Web Page Interface. Refer to the Presets Tab section for more details.

1.4.6 Panel Remote Router IP Address

Remote panels control Matrix Switch Corporation video/audio routers with the TCP/IP protocol via the Ethernet port.

NOTE: The button panel interface of a router device may also be used to remotely control a different router. In that case the Control Mode selection setting is used to determine the mode of the panel interface.

The Remote Router IP setting on the Config Tab of the Web Page Interface defines the IP address of the remote router which the panel interface will control. This defaults to 192.168.2.60 on remote panels, which is the default IP address of Matrix Switch Corporation routers.

After changing the Remote Router IP setting click the Save button to store the changes, which take effect immediately (a reboot is not required).

Refer to the Config Tab - Button Panel Settings section for more details on configuring the Remote Router IP Address.

Refer to the Network Planning section for more details on configuring devices in multi-device applications.

1.5 Network Planning

The default device settings can be used without change in applications with a single router and optionally one remote panel on the same Ethernet network. Larger installations or integration with existing IP LAN networks require some network planning.

NOTE: Matrix Switch Corporation can assist in planning and pre-configuring devices for specific application requirements at purchase time. Just ask a sales or customer service representative.

Manual IP address management is recommended, although a DHCP server can be a convenient option for centrally managing IP addresses by device MAC address, the net effect still being a fixed IP for each device. Consult your DHCP server documentation for information on assigning IP addresses by MAC address, if this option is chosen.

All devices which need to communicate with one another (routers, remote panels and computers) need to be physically connected to the same LAN or allow IP packet routing between networks if on separate LANs.

SECURITY WARNING: Matrix Switch Corporation devices are meant for installation in trusted LAN environments. In the event that remote device configuration or control is desired over public networks or the Internet, it is strongly recommended that some form of inter-network security is utilized, such as firewalls and encrypted VLAN or secure data tunnels. This is necessary to prevent undesired access to devices.

Devices on the same LAN need to be assigned unique IP addresses in the same IP subnet. Matrix Switch Corporation devices are configured by default to use IP addresses in the class C IP subnet 192.168.2.x. When integrating devices into an existing LAN network, unique IP addresses should be assigned from the applicable network and the Netmask setting of the devices should be set to reflect the class (size) of the IP network (the default of 255.255.255.0 is for class C, which accommodates up to 254 addresses).

The Gateway setting is required to be set to the IP address of the network gateway on remote panels which will be accessing routers across network subnets, but this setting is otherwise not needed.

MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

After assigning device network settings, including unique IP addresses, remote panels need to be assigned the correct IP addresses to their Remote Router IP setting of the router they will control.

Additional configuration changes may be required, depending on the application and are described in subsequent sections.

MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

1.5.1 Installation Example

The following diagram is of a simple installation example consisting of a 32x32 SDI Video Router, with a secondary level 32x32 Analog Audio router connected via the AFV DB-25 interface, a 32x32 Remote Button Panel, a 2RU LCD Remote Panel and a Computer system.

1.6 Advanced Panel Configuration

Button panel interfaces (on local and remote panels) can be configured to control a subset of destinations, sources and/or levels.

Example use scenarios

• Utilize an 8x1 remote panel to control a single destination of an 8x8 video router.

• Use the local panel of a 16x16 two level Video and Audio router to control Video only and an additional

16x16 remote panel to control Audio independently.

• Use a 4x4 panel to independently control 4 destinations of an 8x8 router and limit selectable sources to 4 sources.

The applicable settings for advanced panel control scenarios can be found on the Config Tab of the Web Page Interface. Refer to that section for additional details.

2.1 Overview

Figure 1: Routing Tab

All Matrix Switch Corporation Router and Remote Panel systems include a built in web page that can be used with standards compliant Javascript enabled web browsers, including but not limited to Firefox, Chrome, Safari and recent versions of Internet Explorer.

Figure 1 shows the Routing tab of a 16x16 switcher with 2 levels with numbered outlines to aid in further description below. The web page interface for other router systems is sized appropriately. Remote Panels show only the Config and Command tabs.

Numbered sections in Figure 1

1. System name (can be assigned on the Config tab)

2. System firmware series and version

3. Tab navigation

4. Preset load drop down selection

5. Source connect buttons

6. Mute button (may not be available on all switchers and levels)

7. Currently selected destination (destination name followed by currently connected source names for both levels).

2.2 Routing Tab

MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

The right side of the Routing tab interface under the title “Connections” displays the current state of the routing matrix. Each destination is depicted as a box containing the destination number/label followed by one or more source numbers/labels of the currently connected sources for each level of the destination. The currently selected destination is highlighted in red (#7 in Figure 1). For multi-level systems either the destination or one of the levels can be individually selected for changing all levels or a single level.

The left side of the Routing tab under the title “Connect Source” (#5 in Figure 1) displays all the available sources and Mute (if available) to connect from.

2.2.1 Changing a connection

To change a routing connection, select the desired destination by clicking on the Destination label or an individual level source label (multi-level systems only). Then click on a Source button or Mute (if available) from the “Connect Source” section. The clicked source will be connected to the selected Destination for one or more levels (depending on if the Destination or a single level is selected).

2.2.2 Loading a preset

Presets store connection states for one or more Destinations. Loading a Preset on the Routing tab consists of simply clicking on the “Load preset” drop down selector (#4 in Figure 1) and selecting the desired preset, which is then loaded and applied to the current routing matrix. More information on Presets is contained in the following Presets tab section.

2.3 Presets Tab

Figure 2: Presets Tab

Figure 2 depicts the Presets Tab which can be used to edit presets or perform batch matrix connection operations. Under the “Connections” title is shown the Work Matrix, which is a temporary area for working with matrix routing and loading to/saving from stored Presets and the current Active Routing state. For each Destination the Destination number and label is displayed followed by one or more drop down selection lists for each source level. The selection lists contain all available sources (listed by source number and label) and the special values No Change and Mute (the latter only if available for the given level). The No Change option indicates that the Destination for the given Level should not be changed from its current value, when the preset

MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

is recalled, which allows for a subset of the routing matrix to be changed. Mute will output blank Video or silent Audio for the given Destination level and is not supported on all routers/levels.

2.3.1 Loading Work Matrix from a source target

The Work Matrix can be loaded from the current Active Routing matrix or a Preset. Simply select the desired source target from the “Select target” drop down list and click the Load button.

2.3.2 Saving Work Matrix to a target

The Work Matrix can be saved to one or more targets including the Active Routing matrix or a Preset. Simply select the desired destination target from the “Select target” drop down list and click the Save button. When saving to the Active Routing matrix, the connections defined in the Work Matrix will become immediately active for the current routing state, allowing for batch routing operations to be performed and executed simultaneously. Saving to a Preset will store the Work Matrix state to non volatile memory, which persists through device power cycles and can be recalled at a later time.

2.3.3 Usage scenarios

The flexibility of the Presets Tab interface allows for several useful scenarios, some of which are described below:

• Batch connection operations – To perform several connection operations all at the same time: make the desired connection changes to the Work Matrix, leaving all others as “No Change”, and then apply the

changes to the Active Routing target by selecting it from the “Select target” drop down and clicking the Save button.

• Store Active Routing matrix state to a Preset – The entire Active Routing matrix state can be stored to a Preset by first loading it to the Work Matrix, followed by selecting the desired target Preset and

clicking the Save button.

• Editing an existing Preset – Editing a Preset is done by loading it to the Work Matrix, making the desired changes and saving it back to the same Preset. All this is accomplished without changing the

Active Routing matrix state.

2.4 Labels Tab

MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

Figure 3: Labels Tab

Figure 3 shows the Labels Tab. Click on a field or use the tab key to step between fields. Label names are limited to 8 characters including spaces. Multi-level routers will have columns for Video and Audio Sources and Destinations. Single level routers will have a column for Source labels and one for Destination labels. On multi-level routers, secondary levels can be left blank to use the same label as the first level. Presets can also be assigned label names. Click the Save button to save changes that have been made.

2.5 Config Tab

• 3D I/O Pairing – Enable pairing of destinations/sources for two channel 3D support (only supported by Routers with 2 or more destinations, added with Carina Series Firmware 5.3.0).

2.5.2 Network Settings

WARNING: DHCP should only be enabled or the IP Address or Netmask changed if one has an understanding of TCP/IP network configuration. Once the save button is pressed and the system is rebooted any changes to DHCP enable, the IP Address or the Netmask shall result in having to access the web page with the

MSC-HD121DEL Product Manual

new settings. If there are Matrix Switch Corporation remote control panels which access the system which has been changed, they must also be reconfigured to use the new router IP address as well. See the Network

Planning section for more helpful information on planning your network.

• Enable DHCP – Check this box to enable DHCP. Disables IP Address, Netmask and Gateway fields as these settings are obtained from the DHCP server.

◦ WARNING: A DHCP server must be present on your network for this to function properly. Using

DHCP allows for dynamic IP or fixed IP assignment from a central location (the DHCP server). Using this option is only recommended if using fixed IP assignment based on the device's MAC address or if there is a way to determine what IPs the devices get assigned. Otherwise it may become difficult to determine what IP address to use when accessing the Web Page or utilizing other Ethernet control interfaces.

• IP Address – The IP address of the system.

• Netmask – The system network mask.

• Gateway – The IP address of your network's Gateway, if applicable. Only necessary on systems which

access other systems outside of your network (a remote panel which accesses a router on a different network for example).

2.5.3 Button Panel Settings

These settings control the operation of the device's button control panel interface (if applicable).

Four fields are provided for specifying what portion of a router is controlled by the button panel interface. This provides added flexibility in defining what destinations and sources a panel controls. Some examples of use include, using multiple 16x1 Remote Panels (16 source, 1 destination) to control individual destinations of a 16x4 Router (16 source, 4 destination). Another usage scenario would be to have 2 separate panels control different levels of a Video/Audio Router.

• Control Mode – Set the matrix control mode (only present on Routers, added with Carina Series Firmware 5.3.0). Available options include:

◦ Local - Button panel controls the router itself. ◦ Remote - Button panel controls a remote router at the IP address set by the Remote Router IP field. ◦ Remote Sync - Synchronize matrix crosspoint changes to another router at the IP address specified

by the Remote Router IP field. Used for dual system 3D support.

• Remote Router IP – The IP address of the remote Router to control.

• Dest Offset – This setting determines what destination the button panel starts on. Defaults to 0 which

means the control panel starts on destination 1. Setting this value to 8 for example would cause the first destination of the button panel to control destination 9.

• Source Offset – This setting determines what source the button panel starts on. Defaults to 0 which means the control panel starts on source 1. Setting this value to 8 for example would cause the first

source of the button panel to control source 9. NOTE: If the currently active source cannot be represented on the control panel, no source button LED will light.

• Level1 Override – This setting determines the primary control level of the button interface. It defaults to 0 which is equivalent to level 1, usually a Video level. Setting this value to 2 for example would set

the primary level to be level 2 (usually Audio).

• Level2 Override – This setting determines the secondary control level of the button interface. It defaults to 0, which if the Level1 Override is also 0 is equivalent to level 2, but if the Level1 Override is

a value other than 0, the secondary level control is disabled. Can only be assigned a non-zero value if Level1 Override is also non-zero. If set to 3 for example, the secondary level would be level 3.
