Alternate Editor Mode
With issue 2.6 and later software, an alternate editor mode is provided for interfacing a
Grass Valley Group Editor with a Ross switcher. In this editor mode, the memory size is
reduced; the maximum byte count is 115 or 73 (H). This mode is selected by setting
switch 7 on S1 (on the 2216-42A/B circuit board) to "on", as shown below. When
operating the switcher in this editor mode, two of the alternate memory modes, modes 3
and 4 discussed in the Operator's Manual, will not function.

Supplement to RVS 210A Installation Manual
Editor Parity Setting
RVS 210A switchers with issues 3.1 and earlier software communicated with the "ODD"
parity serial transmission format only. Recently, a few editor manufactures have
(arbitrarily) chosen to communicate using either "EVEN" parity of "NO" parity. Different
parity settings between different devices are incompatible and make editor control of the
switcher impossible.
To resolve this problem, RVS 210A's using issues 3.2 software and later will now
support all possible parity standards. The switcher is still shipped factory set to ODD
parity which is, by far, the most common standard.
To change the editor protocol parity standard:
1. Find the 8 position dip switch labeled S1 located on the 2216-42A/B circuit board in
the electronics rack frame. It is located at the far end of the PCB near the connector.
2. Switches 5 & 6 on S1 are used to choose between ODD, EVEN, and NO parity. Set
them as required by the editor manufacturer.
The settings are as follows:
Switch 5 Switch 6 Parity Setting
OFF OFF ODD
OFF ON EVEN
ON OFF NO
ON ON ODD
You may note that ODD parity will be selected in the cases where the switches are both
ON or both OFF.
It is also possible to verify the settings of these switches using a MODIFY mode at the
switcher control panel:
1. Press MODIFY, then EDIT (button 6 on the key bus)
2. Press button 4 on the PST bus.
The Auto Transition display will show one of the following:
P - O for ODD parity
P - E for EVEN parity
P - - for NO parity.
Again, changing these settings requires adjusting the dip switches in the electronics rack
frame.
Press the MODIFY button a second time to return the switcher to normal operation.

GENERAL
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
This manual explains how to install the RVS 210A video switcher and make all necessary
system connections. A vectorscope and oscilloscope or waveform monitor will be
required to do an accurate installation.
Final configuration of the switcher is done using the RVS 210A Operator's Manual which
provides information on the switcher's alternate operating modes.
Procedures for retrofitting electronic options are not included in this manual; this
information is given in specific "Installation Instructions" which are shipped with each
option.
The order of the overall installation procedure is:
Unpacking
Control panel installation
Electronics frame and circuit board installation
System interconnect
System timing
Adjustments and set-up of options (if applicable).
Figure 1-1 The RVS 210A Control Panel
RVS 210A Installation Manual 1-1
Unpacking INTRODUCTION
UNPACKING
The complete RVS 210A switcher is shipped in three or more boxes:
One box contains the control panel
A second box contains the electronics frame
Additional boxes contain the three main circuit boards for the electronics frame,
the power supply module, manuals, and all other options and accessories.
Once the boxes are unpacked, check the contents against the packing list to ensure that all
items are included. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your sales representative
or Ross Video Limited, immediately.
CAUTION:
STATIC DISCHARGE can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor
devices. Avoid handling the switcher circuit boards in high static
environments such as carpeted areas and when synthetic fiber clothing is
worn. Touch the frame to dissipate static charge before removing boards
from the frame and exercise grounding precautions when working on circuit
boards.
SWITCH SYSTEM POWER OFF before installing or removing printed
circuit boards or control cable J6, which supplies power to the control panel.
The circuitry used throughout the switcher is largely CMOS, accounting for
the system's low current drain.
RVS 210A Installation Manual 1-2
SECTION 2: CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION
CONTROL PANEL
There are no special requirements for installation of the control panel. It is fitted with
four non-skid rubber feet for ease of desktop or table top mounting. If the switcher was
purchased with the optional in-desk endblocks or rack mount adaptor, refer to the
"Installing and Adjusting Options" section for desk cutout size and assembly instructions.

Push-button Lens Cap Designations CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION
PUSH-BUTTON LENS CAP DESIGNATIONS
Cut out the designation film inserts and install them in the crosspoint push-button lens
caps. These inserts are used to identify the video inputs connected to each crosspoint. A
standard film with common input designations is included in the switcher shipment. If a
designation that you require has not been included on the film and it is a type likely to be
needed by other switcher users, Ross Video would be pleased to consider adding it to the
standard film.
Remove the lens assembly from the crosspoint switch by pulling straight upward on the
lens cap. Remove the lens cap from the lens and place the desired input designation under
the lens cap.

Tally Connections CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION
TALLY CONNECTIONS
The tally connector, "J7 - TALLY", is located on the rear of the control panel.
Figure 2-2
shows the tally connection relay circuit. Using this drawing, wire the mating 50-pin tally
connector which is provided with the switcher.
Connect the completed tally cable to connector J7, making the connection straight on and
allowing at least 4 inches of cable clearance at the rear of the control panel. Fasten the
clips to hold the connector in place. Run the cable in accordance with good engineering
practice and ensure that the cable will not be subjected to physical abuse.
NOTE:
1. All relay contacts are normally open.
2. Maximum switch ratings for tally relay contacts are 10 VA resistive.
DO NOT
exceed 100 Volts between common and any tally. Maximum closed contact current
carrying capacity for a single tally is 0.5 Amp. Maximum current on common lead
should not exceed 1 Amp where possible.
For inductive loads derate both VA rating and maximum voltage by a factor of 10
(i.e. 1 VA and 10 V) where possible.
