1 Product overview
Professional broadcast installations often include a number of tape recorders and other
devices that require RS-422 machine control for remote operation. To meet these
requirements, Nevion introduce the Sublime SL-D32P+ Expandable Ported Data Router.
Complex installations, cable cost and system design is kept at a minimum.
Where user friendliness and operational flexibility is appreciated, the SL-D32P+ will fit in
perfectly.
The Ported Data Routers are bi-directional “ports” rather than “XY”. A traditional 32x32
router will have a total of 64 connectors (32 in/32 out). A ported 32 Router will have a
maximum of 32 connectors, all configurable to be operated either as Controller or Device.
In the SL-D32P+ Ported Data Router the terms Controller and Device are used instead of
In/Out, Source/Destination. I.e. a Ported Data Router Controller can be both signal Source
or Destination.
SL-D32P+ can be bundled together to for 64/96/128 ports.
All ports are coupled according to SMPTE 207M machine control standard.

3 Configuration
It is possible to use the router out-of-the-box. Changes to the factory settings can be set
with the dip-switches found in the back of the router.
As factory setting, the SL-D32P+ is shipped with Dynamic ports. This means every port can
be controller or device depending on the connected equipment.
Full access to the Sublime SL-D32P+ Ported Data Router configuration is achieved with the
Nevion Configurator in combination with the dip-switches.
3.1 Nevion Configurator
The Nevion Configurator is a unified configuration tool for routers interconnected over
Ethernet. The Nevion Configurator makes system set-up easy and includes a wizard to
guide you through the set-up procedures. When scanning the network, the Nevion
Configurator auto detects all connected hardware. It also provides interactive help, giving
Auto Feedback on non-logical settings.
For more information about the Nevion Configurator and its advanced configuration
possibilities, please use the interactive help menus included in the software.
Dynamic: The Controller/Device is according to the connected units itself.
Fixed: The Port can be set to either be Controller (Master) or Device (Slave).

3.2 Configuration switches
You will find 2 x 10 Dip-switches on the backplane of the router. These are for configuration
purposes.
3.2.1 Router level
Switches 1 - 4 set the router level and the Physical Address for this unit. By setting routers
and Control Panels on same level, routers can be controlled as “one”, i.e. Audio-followVideo.
Bundled SL-D32P+ routers (up to 4 units) must have the same address/level
setting in order to be operated as one router.
For more information on Physical Addresses, see the section for re-Mapping in the Nevion
Configurator or the Modular Protocol documentation found on the www.nevion.com.
THOR and panels in a NCB loop must be configured to the same level as the router(s).
The levels/Physical Addresses can be set according to the following pattern:
Default level is 1.
3.2.2 Audio/Video Mode
The SL-D32P+ router can be assigned to either the video level or the audio level of a router
system, selectable with switch 5 on the configuration switch. If you’re using the Data Router
in an Audio-follow-video setting, the Data Router can be set as Video, giving an Audiofollow-Data function. Breakaway is also possible with this set-up.
Default mode is OFF.
Bundled SL-D32P+ routers (up to 4 units) must have the same mode setting in
order to be operated as one router.
