3 Configuration

This chapter provides an overview of the configuration options that are available on the
Sublime Analog Video Routers.

3.1 Router level

Switches 1 - 4 on the configuration switch set the router’s level for communication with the
Router Management System 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 Video, RGB or similar system, these
routers must be configured to the same level.

The levels can be switched according to the following pattern:

SW 1 SW 2 SW 3 SW 4 Level NCB Address

OFF OFF OFF OFF 1 0
OFF OFF OFF ON 2 1
OFF OFF ON OFF 3 2

OFF

Default level is 1.

3.2 Router mode

3.2.1 Router mode on NxN square routers

The Sublime A/V router allows switching in different modes:

Router layers 8x8 router 16x16 router 32x32 router 64x64 router

1 layer

8x8

16x16

32x32

64x64

3 layers N.A. 5x5 10x10 21x21
4 layers 2x2 4x4 8x8 16x16

Switches 5 - 6 on the configuration switch set the router’s mode. The Router Management
System software must be configured according to the mode chosen on the router.

VikinX Sublime Analog Video Routers Rev. 12

nevion.com | 10

The modes can be switched according to the following pattern:

SW 5 SW 6 Router mode

OFF OFF 1 router layer
OFF ON 2 router layers

ON OFF 3 router layers
ON ON 4 router layers

Default mode is 1 router layer.

Based on the configuration above, the I/O is connected to the router according to the
following scheme, where the physical limitations depend on the type of router that is
purchased (8x8, 16x16, 32x32 or 64x64):

− 1 layer:

I/O is connected according to information on the rear of the router.

− 2 layers, based on an 8x8 router:
