CHAPTER 1
Intr oduction
General Description
RTS Cronus is a 32-port digital matrix intercom in 2 RU (rack units). Based upon an advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
architecture, Cronus has the ability to link up to four (4) units into a single 128 port matrix. Through the use of standard video
coaxial cable, the maximum distance between the first and last Cronus system can be up to 300ft., and still appear as a single
matrix. However, when using the Fiber Option card, the distance is increased up to 15 kilometers nominally. When connected
as a single matrix, the individual Cronus control remains autonomous and independent at each matrix for the hi ghest
reliability.
Features
USB Connectivity
Advanced DSP
Modular Architecture
Redundant Power Supply
Convenient front panel access, as well as traditional rear access for system
programming. Note, you may use either the front panel access or the rear panel access,
but not both at the same time.
NOTE: The USB drivers for Cronus are installed with the AZedit software. You
can find the folder at C:\Telex\AZedit\V20606. The drivers are bundled in
version 2.06.06 or later.
Digital signal processing designed to support audio signal processing on all 32 ports
(inputs).
The modular architecture allows for port expansion from 8 to 32 ports giving each
user expandable systems in the field.
Each chassis is powered by two power supplies, either of which can sufficiently power
all the equipment ALONE. This provides constant power and disaster recovery even
with the failure of one power supply.

4 Introduction Cronus
Differences between Cronus and ADAM
Cronus ADAM
Most practical for small to medium systems.
In small to medium-sized broadcast company, Cronus would
be used like an ADAM.
Cronus is scalable - can add up to four systems maximum to
the original configuration.
Most practical for more complex systems because the
number of users is much higher.
Uses ASIC technology
ADAM has both a redundant power supply and a redundant
Master Controller card.
Cronus has a redundant power supply.
Has one (1) USB port with front and rear access.
Has capability for an Ethernet connection
Cronus has individual data drivers, meaning the address
does not need to be set at the keypanel.
Front and Rear Panel Controls and Connections
There are two Cronus backcards, an MDR backcard and an RJ-12 backcard. You can have up to four backcards installed on
Cronus. You can have any combination of backcards on the Cronus, too (for example, you can have two RJ-12 backcards and
two MDR backcards
FIGURE 1. Controls, Connections, and Cronus backcard.
NOTE: For more information on a VOIP option card (RVON-C) for the Cronus, See “RVON-C RTS Voice Over
Network for Cronus” on page 41.

Cronus Introduction 5
1. ENC1 – This knob allows you to select a menu item, scroll through menus or exit the display menu.
2. ENC2 – This knob allows you to select a menu item, scroll through menus or exit the display menu.
NOTE: Only when you are in the Crosspoint Status menu do the left and right knob perform separate functions. The
right knob adjusts the output port, while the left knob adjusts the import port.
3. Display Panel – LCD display showing menu options.
4. USB Connection – There are two (2) USB connections on the Cronus: one on the front panel and one on the rear
panel (J7). The Cronus system can use the USB port to connect with a PC. This allows for the most flexibility when
planning where to use the system. In a rack unit, where the back is inaccessible, or on a desktop where the back is
accessible.
NOTE: Only one USB connector can be used at a time.
5. Power 1& Power 2 – The power source indicator is a green LED light displaying the power is on. The Cronus has a
redundant power source. This means there are two (2) power su pp lies, so it power supply 1 fails, power supply 2
takes over powering the system.
6. Keypanel Ports (backcard) – One Cronus frame can have 32 ports through the use of either an RJ-12 backcard or an
MDR backcard. In all, the Cronus system supports a maximum of 128 ports available for keypanels. You can also mix
and match the backcards (for example, you can have 2 MDR backcards with 2 RJ-12 backcards on the same frame).
The MDR backcard is primarily used to connect the three compatible breakout panels. XCP-32-DB9, XCP-48-RJ45
and the XCP-48-Telco (See “Breakout Panels” on page 85).
NOTE: Using an MDR backcard (CRONUS MDR), you can utilize a DB-9 breakout panel. (XCP-32-DB9 BP).
Once DB-9 breakout panel can support all four (4) AIO cards within the Cronus.
7. LINE 1 – Cronus has two (2) power sources; a primary source (LINE 1) and a redundant power source (LINE 2).
Both power sources are running at the same time, so that if the primary source fails, the redundant source is able to
power the Cronus.
8. Fans – There are two (2) fans to cool the power supplies.
9. LINE 2 – Cronus has two (2) power sources; a primary source (LINE 1) and a redundant power source (LINE 2).
Both power sources are running at the same time, so that if the primary source fails, the redundant source is able to
power the Cronus.
10. DB-9 Serial Connection – DB-9 serial connection to the PC from Cronus.There are six (6) DB-9 serial ports, however
only five (5) are used (J1, J2[reserved], J3, J4, and J5) and one is undefined.
11. USB Connection – USB connection to the PC from Cronus.
12. RJ-45 Connection – RJ-45 connection to the PC from the Cronus.
13. DB-25 Connection – General Input Output connection.
NOTE: The pin out of this connection is not the same as Zeus, ADAM or ADAM CS.
14. Coaxial and Fiber Connection – There are four (4) coaxial or two (2) fiber connections used to connect the frames
together, see Figure 5 for the configuration illustration. Requires optional licensing firmware. Contact Bosch Security
Systems, Inc customer service for more information. When contacting customer service, be sure to have the MAC
Address for each unit. For information on how to obtain the MAC Address, see “Finding the MAC Address for
Cronus” on page 33.

10 Introduction Cronus
Determining the Master System From the Slave Systems
By default, Cronus is set to operate in standalone mode. Y ou will need a license file to link Cronus frames together. In order to
link two (2) or more Cronus systems together, each must have the optional linking firmware installed. To purchase the
firmware, contact RTS sales.
Setting the master frame is done through the display panel m e nu as well as cabling the frames together.
To configure the master frame, do the following:
1. From the display panel of the frame you want to configure, tap the ENC1 knob.
SET FRAME ID appears.
2. Tap the ENC1 knob once.
SLAVE appears.
3. Tap ENC1.
AUTO CONFIG appears.
4. Turn the ENC1 knob to select Auto Config, Frame ID 2, Frame ID 3, or Frame ID 4.
NOTE: Once you have set the Master frame you can set the rest of the frames by using autoconfig.
T o cable Cronus, use the coaxial connectors located on the back panel (see Figure 2 on page 6). On the first frame connect the
two (2) outside coax ports to the two (2) inside coax ports on frame 2. For more information, see Figure 5 on page 11. This
determines the master frame and the first slave. Repeat this procedure with the two (2) remaining frames.

Status, GPI Input
GPI Input displays the status of each GPI (General Purpose Input) assigned in the system. The GPI Input allows an external
piece of equipment to trigger the intercom. For example, using an on-air tally to dim or mute specific outputs. GPI Inputs are
created within AZedit.
NOTE: The maximum number of devices that can be connected when using a GPIO-16 are as follows:
• Zeus, Zeus II, and ADAM CS = 4 devices (64 relays)
• ADAM and Cronus = 16 devices (256 relays)
For more information on the GPIO-16, see the GPIO User Manual (F .01U.193.288).

Status, GPI Output
GPI Output displays the status of each GPI Output assigned in the system. GPI output is similar to the GPI Input, except
instead of triggering an action on the intercom, the intercom is programmed to perform a function as a result of an action on
the intercom. For example, when a port is connected to a 2-way radio, the radio is normally in receive mode. Use a GPI Output
to trigger the transmitter whenever anyone talks to the port.
NOTE: The maximum number of devices that can be connected when using a GPIO-16 are as follows:
• Zeus, Zeus II, and ADAM CS = 4 devices (64 relays)
• ADAM and Cronus = 16 devices (256 relays)
