REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

PERSONNEL ONLY

This equipment contains a lithium battery

There is a danger of explosion if this is replaced incorrectly.

Replace only with the same type from the same manufacturer.

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

and national laws/regulations.

Batteries should only be replaced by trained service technicians.

CAUTION

2.1 Explanation of Safety Symbols

This symbol refers the user to important information contained in the accompanying literature.

This symbol indicates that hazardous voltages are present inside. No user serviceable parts inside. This system should only be serviced by trained personnel.

2.2 Safety Warnings

CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the

risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the Operating Instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

Always ensure that the unit is properly earthed and power connections correctly made. This equipment must be supplied from a power system providing a PROTECTIVE EARTH

connection and having a neutral connection which can be reliably identified. The power circuit breakers or switches supplying power to the unit should be close to the unit

and easily accessible.

2.3 Lithium Batteries

The Sirius 800 door PC and router control module(s) each contain a Lithium battery.

Page 15

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Fiber Output Modules Warning Warnings and Precautions 2.4

LASER SAFETY

The average optical output power does not exceed 0 dBm (1mW) under normal operating conditions. Unused optical outputs should be covered to prevent direct exposure to the laser beam.

Even though the power of these lasers is low, the beam should be treated with caution and common sense because it is intense and concentrated. Laser radiation can cause irreversible and permanent damage of eyesight. Please read the following guidelines carefully:

• Make sure that a fiber is connected to the board's fiber outputs before power is applied. If a fiber cable (e.g. patchcord) is already connected to an output, make sure that the cable's other end is connected, too, before powering up the board.

• Do not look in the end of a fiber to see if light is coming out. The laser wavelengths being used are totally invisible to the human eye and can cause permanent damage. Always use optical instrumentation, such as an optical power meter, to verify light output.

2.4 Fiber Output Modules Warning

2.5 Cable Management

It is important that the cabling to and from the router is correctly labelled and routed. This will simplify the work required if the installation needs to be changed or adde d to at a future date.

• Cables connected to the router must be fitted with ad equate ve rtical and horizont al strain relief to avoid twisting of the rear panels causing damage to the router connectors and loss of electrical/signal connection to the router.

• Cables connected to the router sho uld be routed so they do not cover any of the frame fan exhausts as this can restrict airflow through the router.

2.6 Power Supplies

The power supply shelves are separate 2RU modules. Power supply shelves are rack mountable and can be placed above, below or remote from the Sirius frame.

• Ensure that the power supply shelves are correctly earthed see section 2.7 for details.

• The power supply units are sealed and do not cont ain any serviceable items

• Power supply shelves are heavy so it is advised that two people are needed to support the weight of the power supply shelves during installation.

• To prevent damage, power supply shelves should not be mounted using just the front ears, and should have support at the rear of the shelves.

The power supply alarm cable(s) and 48 V DC cables are supplied by SAM and can be ordered as either 2.5 meter cables or 8 meter cables.

(located on the right side of the power supply shelf, see Figure 1).

• Protective Earthing is a conductor in the building inst allation wiring, or in the powe r supply cord, connecting a main protective earthing terminal to an e ar th poin t i n the building installation.

PROTECTIVE EARTH

• The building installation must provide a means for connection to the protective earth and the equipment must be connected to that means.

• A service person must check that the socket outlets that the equipment is to be powered from provide a connection to the protective earth. If not the service person must arrange for the installation of the protective earth wire in the buildin g.

Warning

High leakage current; the Protective Earth connection is essential before connecting the supply.

2.7.2 Important Functional Earth Information

Up to three earth cables (636027) are supplied with the Sirius 800 depending on how many power supply shelves are fitted. One should be fi tte d fr om eac h powe r sup p ly s hel f to the Sirius 800 router frame, this is called a Functional Earth.

• The Functional Earth on the power supply shelf is indicated by this symbol:

(located on the left side of the power supply shelf, see Figure 1).

• Functional Earthing is the earthing of a point on the equipment or system, which is necessary for purposes other than safety.

Warning

The Functional Earth cable from the power supply shelf to the Sirius frame must be fitted.

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Ventilation Warnings and Precautions 2.8

2.8 Ventilation

A fully populated Sirius 800 is ventilated by groups of fan modules mounted in the front and rear of the router . The ven t s in the front, sides and r ear must not be obstructed an d should be periodically cleaned and kept free from the build-up of dust. All the fan modules are monitored for failure.

Air is pulled in through the ventilation slots in the front door and circulated through the router, passing over the modules, and then expe lled by the rear fans, air is also expelle d out at points on each side of the frame, where the crosspoint modules are situated.

The power supply shelves have their own integral cooling system.

• Ensure the flow of air is not restricted through the vents and fan exhausts .

• Do not obstruct the air vents situated on both sides of the frame, and allow a minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) clearance to allow air flow. The air that is exhausted from the sides must be able to flow past the rear of the router frame without being obstructed. This also applies to the PSU shelves.

• The fan assemblies should be placed back into the closed position as soon as possible after opening, as this ensures correct ventilation of the frame. Failure to do this will result in failure.

• In practice the maximum time that a fan assembly can be left open will depend on a number of factors such as; ambient temperature, frame loading, crosspoint routings, etc. To ensure correct operation under all conditions the fan assemblies should be left open for no more than 4 minutes at a time.

3 Product Overview

SAM continues to lead the way in video and audio signal routing with its inn ovative Sirius 800 router range. The large-scale, multi-format routers incorporate many technological firsts, the Sirius 800 routers offer multi-format operation up to 3 Gb/s in one frame.

Figure 2 Sirius 800 Router Range

*The router height in Figure 2 does not include the power supply shelves which are a further 2U each in height. Between one and three power supply shelves are used with the Sirius router depending on the router configuration and local mains voltage.

The Sirius 800 routers support a range of differ ent configurations based on a common module format. The router range is made up of the non-exp and able Siri us 830 a nd Siriu s 840 r oute rs and the field expandable Sirius 850 router.

The Sirius 850 can be equipped as 576 x 1152 in a single frame or is field expandable up to 1152 x 1152 video (dependant on input/output card configuration) by linking two Sirius 850 routers together using multi-way cables. No other external splitters or combiners are required.

Page 20

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Signal Flow Product Overview 3.1

3.1 Signal Flow

The Sirius 800 routers are large scale multi-format video and audio routers. The Sirius 800 routers enable you to mix and match different signal formats - 3 Gb/s and 1.5 Gb/s HD and SD video, and embedded, AES and MADI audio - in the same frame. Different video signal formats can also be freely mixed within individual video input/output modules. BNC and Fibe r connections are available for video and MADI signals and high density 62 way D-type sockets for AES. In addition to video and audio Advanced Hybrid Processing (AHP) modules allow adjustment and processing of input and output signals.

Figure 3 Audio and Video Signal Routing

3.1.1 Input Modules

The standard (non AHP) video input modules (5917 , 5913, 5914 & 5916) route the vid eo and embedded audio through to the video crosspoint cards.

The AHP video input modules (5919 & 5915) de-embed up to 16 mono audio channels per video input. Both the embedded and de-embedded audio channels can be manipulated directly on the input module before being routed thro ugh the video and audio crosspo int cards respectively.

The audio input module (4915) accepts either MADI only or a combinatio n of AES and MADI depending on the rear panel that is fitted. In either case the individual audio channels can then be routed through the audio crosspoint cards.

3.1.2 Video Crosspoints

The video signals are routed through the video crosspoints to on e or more destinations o n the video output modules as instructed by the router control system. Any embedded audio is routed along with the video.

The video routing is completely non blocking and an optional video crosspoint card gives the router video crosspoint redundancy.

Optionally the Sirius 850 has a second set of video crosspoint cards in the top of the router that are used to route signals to the expansion outputs (577 to 1152). As with the other crosspoint cards an optional video crosspoint can be fitted for video redundancy.

Page 21

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Signal Flow Product Overview 3.1

3.1.3 Audio Crosspoints

The audio crosspoint card routes the mono audio channels in the Sirius 800 routers and the audio routing is completely non blocking. An optional, audio crosspoint card can be added for audio crosspoint redundancy.

The de-embedded and discrete audio signals are routed through the audio crosspoint to one or more destinations (main, non expansion outputs only) as instructed by the router control system. The audio can be routed to the audio output modules, re-embedded on the video AHP output modules or a combination of both.

Failed crosspoints and audio transport strea ms are detected by the output module(s) which automatically switch to the alternate audio crosspoint module if fitted.

3.1.4 Output Modules

The standard video output modules (5926, 5938 , 5923, 5924 & 5937) receive the video and embedded audio signals and transmit them to the router outputs.

The AHP video output modules (5949 & 5925) can embed up to 16 mo no audio channels pe r video output if required. These audio channels are routed from the audio crosspoint card and can originate from discrete audio inputs, de-embedded audio or a combination of both. The audio replaces the original embedded audio that was routed with the video. The audio channels can be manipulated directly on the video output module before being output from the router.

The audio output modules (4929 & 4925) output either MADI only or a combination of AES and MADI depending on the rear panel that is fitted. The audio channels are routed from the audio crosspoint card and can originate from discrete audio input s, de-embedded audio or a combination of both.

3.1.5 Audio Processing

Each of the AHP video input (5919 & 5915) and output (5949 & 5925) modules contains a powerful processing engine that can manipulate the individual audio channels passing through them.

The 5919, 5915, 5949 and 5925 audio processing tools include gain control, phase invert, 16 channel mixer and channel swap (shuffle). The audio processing tools are a licensed feature which must be purchased for each module they are needed on (see section 3.6 for details).

The audio input (4915) and output (4929 & 4925) modules include gain control, phase invert and stereo mode (left/right swap, left both , right bo th or mono mix). The 491 5, 4929 and 4 925 audio processing tools are supplied free of charge for each audio module.

In addition to the standard processing tools described above the 4929 audio output module offers Audio Delay and Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) which are license d features that must be purchased for each module they are needed on (see section 3.6 for details).

3.1.6 Input Embedding

Input embedding enables any incoming audio channel (embedded, AES or MADI) to be routed via the audio crosspoint to an AHP video input module (5919). Input embedding works by replacing/overwriting one or more of the original source video embedded audio channels with audio channels sourced from the audio crosspoint modules.

This enables finished audio package to be built up on the AHP video input modules which saves one output and one input, freeing them up for other routing needs. It also eliminates looping cables and saves cost, power and space, see section 9.19.2.1 for further details.

Input embedding requires the purchase of an S8AHP-VA (Embedded Audio Processing licence) and S8AHP-VE (Input Embedding license) for each video AHP input module (5 919) being used for input embedding (see section 3.6 for details).

3.1.7 Audio Phasing

In a synchronous system multi-channel audio passing through the router remains co -timed on all channels of like signal format across the entire router. There are three signal formats; embedded audio, MADI and AES. Embedded audio is further broken down into sub formats of; SD, HD and 3G.

Router and processing delays are managed by the router so th at co-timed audio entering the router from any like format will remain co-timed on the output of the router.

The example below shows audio from various router inputs embedded on a video channel of a video output module. The audio inputs could equally have been routed to an audio output module and the signals would remain co-timed as shown.

Figure 4 Example: Audio from Various Sources Embedded on a Video Output Module

3.1.8 Video Processing

Each of the AHP video input (5919) and AHP video output (594 9) modules con t ain frame /line synchronizers allowing video signals to be synchronised with router references. Frame or line syncs can be offset to allow for delays later in the system.

The frame/line synchronizer is a licensed feature which must be purchased (see section 3.6 for details).

Page 23

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Signal Flow Product Overview 3.1

Note:

3.1.9 Integrated Multiviewers

Sirius 800 routers can be equipped with integrated multiviewers. These can monitor any router SDI input or SDI outputs. These integrated units provide multiviewer video wall display outputs at the rear of the Sirius frame on HD-BNC or Fiber connectors.

The Sirius 800 MV-8x0 Integrated Multiviewer modules include:

• MV-800 Integrated Multiviewer. Monitors up to 48 router inputs per multiviewer.

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Router Configuration and Control Product Overview 3.2

Note:

3.2 Router Configuration and Control

3.2.1 Overview

The Workbench control system is flexible and scalab le, providing a ra nge of inter faces from a single router control panel running on a PC, through to large and powerful installations using dual redundant control across many sites. System configuration details are stored in a Workbench database which is written (pushed) to the router cont ro ller s to co nfig u re them. Once the router controllers have been configured in this way they store the database locally allowing the router to work independently after a power off even if the connection to the Workbench database PC/server is not available.

Workbench operates in a client-server configuration using standard TCP/IP network protocols, that makes it easy to integrate into existing network infrastructures. SAM and third-party protocols are also used when interconnecting different equipment types.

If required, device drivers can use an embedded controller with dual redundant power, and run a real-time operating system. This combination offers the ultimate in resilient design.

3.2.2 Router System Configuration

The router system is configured using Workbench software running on a computer with a network connection to the router. Workbench is also used to create PC based Soft panels for router control.

Router configuration details are stored in the Workbench SQL database. Once configuration is complete the configuration is pushed to the router controllers allowing them to work without a database connection. The Workbench database can be created from scratch, custom built by SAM (chargeable) or it can be based on on e of the sample/default databases supp lied with Workbench.

Workbench comes with two default databases for each Sirius 800 router type (830, 840 and

850), one for video only routing and one for AHP routing. Additionally the Sirius 85 0 has default video only and AHP databases for single and both dua l frame co nfigu rations (f ra me 1 of 2 and frame 2 of 2).

Microsoft SQL Management Studio is used for database administration functions including database backup and restore. Database redundancy is available when setup using standard MS-SQL configuration. See the Sirius Installation and Quick Start manual for details on how to link Workbench to a database. For details on using the configuration software see the Workbench user manual.

Figure 6 and Figure 7 show two typical installation scenarios:

• Both installation scenarios include an optional RollCall PC that can be used to control the router. Changes made by RollCall are reflected in Workbench and vice versa.

• The RollCall PC cannot be used to configure the router and this must be carried out using Workbench.

• Both scenarios show a single Sirius 800 series router for clarity however systems may well contain multiple routers, control panels and other devices. See the Workbench User Manual for details on device support.

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Sirius 800 Input/Output Modules Product Overview 3.3

3.2.3 Routing Control

The router can be controlled from Workbench Softpanels, RollCall, Panels and third party control systems. Softpanels are usually used from a PC running LiveRunner which is a client only version of Workbench. The client only version can’t be used for router configuration. When Workbench Softpanel contr ol is used the Softp anels need to connect to the W orkbench database on power-up after which they talk to the router directly. Hardware panels and RollCall clients talk to the router directly.

Video and audio routing is achieved by the use of matrices, levels and associations. Inhibits can be set up to prevent unwanted routes from being set and routes can be automatically or manually protected if required. Salvos or Snapsh ot can be configu red to bring the router ba ck to a known state.

The Workbench configuration tools allow you to design o ne or more audio mapping templates to quickly group and name the channel order/signal types and these can then be applied to the input and output channels as required. This method simplifies the configuration process which makes setting up new input and output feeds quicker and less prone to errors.

3.8.2 Signal Flow Through the Router

The Sirius 830 routes video and/or audio signals by using the video and audio crosspoint modules. The Sirius 830 can be fitted with either Multiviewer outputs or Input/Output monitoring as required (Figure 9).

Multiviewer Outputs

If the Multiviewer Crosspoint Module is fitted it receives signals from the input modules after any processing has been carried out.

Input/Output Monitoring Outputs

If an Input/Output Monitoring Module is fitted each monitoring output can be independently configured to display either an input or an output signal. Each monitoring output can also be independently configured to display a signal before or after processing has been applied to it (processing modules only).

Up to four monitor signals are passed to both the BNC and DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors on the 1237 rear monitor module (see section 13.2.2). The BNC connectors are optimized for video signals (including embedded audio) and the DIN 1.0/2.3. connectors are optimized for discrete audio signals.

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Video Reference Inputs Product Overview 3.11

Important:

Note:

3.11 Video Reference Inputs

The video reference signal inputs are used to ensure that the router crosspoint switch is compliant to SMTPE RP168-2009 for that video standard. The Nucleus controller automatically detects the incoming signal and therefore it can be configured to switch on a specific standard.

The Workbench Switch Point Editor specifies which reference type the signal can switch from.

Set from Edit Configuration, Routers, Advanced Configuration, References.... See the

Workbench user manual for details on how to configure the switching points.

If there is no reference signal, the router will crash switch on receiving the switch command.

The Sirius 800 router has four analogue BNC video reference inputs:

• 4 x analogue video, all auto sensing to 525 and 625 B&B, or HD tri-level reference

See section 16.2 for the video reference connector locations.

3.11.1 Derived Video References (Nucleus2 Controllers Only)

Derived video references enable the router to use a reference signal standard that is not available from outside of the router frame as if it is a standard physical video reference input.

Ensure module address 279 is configured as “ReferenceControl”. If the module address isn’t configured correctly derived references will not work. Configured in Workbench: Edit

Configuration, Local Router Hardware, Advanced Configuration, Edit Module Configurations...

See the Workbench user manual for full setting details.

Video reference signals are derived (created) from the BNC video reference inputs on the rear of the router. These derived video references can be a differ ent format th an the signal o n the BNC reference input but they must share the same frame rate as the original reference signal they are created from.

Each router has a maximum of four references in total in any mix of BNC and Derived references.

See section 5.3.3 for details on setting references for the router using the Door screen. Alternatively Derived references can be configured in Workbench from: Edit Configuration,

Local Router Hardware, Advanced Configuration, Edit Derived References....

See the Workbench user manual for full setting details. Example (also shown in Figure 18)

• 525 59 Hz BNC Video Ref 1 used directly as a video reference. This uses up one of the four available references.

• 625 50 Hz BNC Video Ref 2 used directly as a video reference and to produce a 1080i 50 Hz derived reference. This uses up two of the four available references.

• 1080P 60 Hz BNC Video Ref 3 used to produce a 720P 60 Hz derived reference. This uses up one of the four available references.

• BNC Video Ref 4 not available as the maximum of four refe rences are already in use.

• A BNC video reference input can be used to create between one and four derived video reference signals for use in the router.

• Each router has a maximum of four video reference s in tot al in any mix of BNC and derived references.

resolved (see section 3.11.3).

There can be a mix of the physical reference inputs and the derived

reference inputs depending on which Nucleus control ler type is fitted and

how it is configured (see the following notes).

Notes:

• If Nucleus 2450 controllers are fitted only the physical reference inputs are available.

• If Nucleus2 router controllers are fitted then a mix of physical and derived reference inputs are available for use depending on router configuration. see section 3.11.1 for details on derived references.

3.11.3 Reference Offset (Nucleus2 Controllers Only)

In some circumstances it is necessary to set an offset on a reference signal to accommodate system timing and to make sure the video signal switches at the correct point. see section

3.11.5 and section 3.11.6 for examples of when this may be required. Reference offsets can be set from Door screen (see section 5.3.3) or from Workbench (see section 3.11.1).

3.11.4 RefAuto Selected

RefAuto is set for all signals when the default database is being used. When RefAuto is selected for a signal the Nucleus controller will look for a derived reference

(2464 or 2463) or a physical reference (2450) that exactly matches the signal.

• Derived references are only available when Nucleus2 controllers are fitted. see section 3.11.1 for details.

• If RefAuto is selected for a Dual Link 1080p input signal the Nucleus controller will look for a 1080i reference with the same frame rate as the input signal.

• If a matching reference signal (physical or derived) is present the controller will switch in accordance with SMPTE RP168.

• If a matching reference signal (physical or derived) is not present the router will crash switch.

Page 46

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Audio Reference Input Product Overview 3.12

Note:

Important:

3.11.5 Manual Reference Standard Selected

When a reference standard, such as Ref720p60, is selected manually the Nucleus controller will look for a derived reference (2464 or 2463) or a physical reference (2450) that exactly matches the selected standard.

Derived references are only available when Nucleus2 controllers are fitted. see section 3.11.1 for details.

• If the selected standard reference signal (physical or derived) is present then the controller will switch in accordance with SMPTE RP168.

• If the selected standard reference sign al (physical or derived) is not present the router will crash switch.

• If the selected standard reference signal (physical or derived) is present but different to the actual signal being switched, for example Ref1080i50 for a 1080p50 signal, then the timing must be adjusted to make sure the switch happens at the correct point.

3.11.6 Reference Input (Physical or Derived) Selected

When a reference input is selected manually (a physical or derived reference) the Nucleus controller will use the specified reference input.

Derived references are only available when Nucleus2 controllers are fitted. see section 3.11.1 for details.

• If the signal on the specified reference inpu t (physical or derived) exactly ma tches the signal to be switched then the router will switch in accordance with SMPTE RP168.

• If the signal on the specified reference input (physical or derived) does not exactly match the signal being switched the router will switch according to the specified reference. The timing must be adjusted to make sure the switch happens at the correct point.

• If the signal on the specified reference input (physical or derived) is not valid the router will crash switch.

3.12 Audio Reference Input

The Sirius 800 routers have two AES (48 kHz only) audio reference inputs on the rear of the router (see section 16.2 for connection details):

• 1 x BNC unbalanced AES input, 75  termination.

• 1 x 9-Way D Type balanced AES input, 110  termination.

Only one audio reference (balanced or unbalanced) should be connected to the router. Connecting both audio references will stop the audio routing from functioning correctly.

A controller can be configured to distribute an AES reference around the router so that the audio output modules can lock to it. The AES reference generated is either a free-running clock set to an AES clock rate of 48 kHz, or it can be locked to a physical input reference on the router (either the AES reference, or one of the video references).

The audio reference is configured in Workbench from: Controller Configuration, Local

Router Hardware, Advanced Configuration, Edit Derived References....

See the Workbench user manual for full setting details. These values are part of the database configuration so will need to be pushed to the controller

along with the rest of the configuration data.

5 Door PC

The Workbench LiveRunner program runs on the Door PC screen and monitors the status of the Sirius 800. The Door screen can also be u sed to control some aspect s of the router . Th ere are numerous default screens that provide easy control of the Sirius 800 router.

This section shows examples of the default door screens for the Sirius 800 range of routers.

• The Door PC and controllers must be connected to an Ethernet hub/switch using Ethernet cables and the Ethernet connectors on the rear of the router (see section 16 for connector positions). If the hub/switch is on a network the IP addresses of the controllers and Door PC must be changed to match the host network requirements (see the Sirius 800 Maintenance & Upgrade manual for details).

• The actual Door PC screens available on your system depends on the version of LiveRunner installed and the actual Sirius 800 router the door PC is on. Althou gh it is not recommended the door screens can be created, dele ted and modified by the user so the actual Door screens on your system may differ.

5.1 Main Menu

The Door screen gives quick access to the monitoring and control functions of the router.

All sub screens have a Menu button, touching this will return you to this main menu screen.

Figure 21 Main Menu (Sirius 850 shown)

• If LiveRunner is closed or the door PC is shut down the door screen cannot notify the user of the status of the router or any router alarms. Status and alarm monitoring on the door screen will not resume until the door PC and LiveRunner have been restarted. See sectio n 4.1.3 for deta ils on starting the door PC manually.

• Router status and alarm notifications are still available to external control and monitoring systems while the door screen is off.

The Exit button on the main menu screen is used to access the following options:

• Close button- Closes LiveRunner and displays the Door PC desktop.

• Shutdown button - Closes LiveRunner and shuts down the Door PC.

• Menu button - Displays the door screen main menu.

The drop down box to the right of each pair of MADI signals is used to set the MADI input signal used by the router . Options are:

• AutoInputSelector - Select for automatic changeover between the main and redundant MADI inputs in the event of a MADI input failure. Operation: If the main MADI input fails the input module will automatically switch to the redundant input for that feed. Once it has switched the input module will continue to use the redundant input even if the main input is restored. If, subsequently, the redundant input fails the input module will automatically switch back to the main MADI input.

• Main - Overrides automatic input selection and selects the Main MADI input as the input used by the router.

This is an override and will prevent the router automatically switching to the redundant input if the main input stops working.

• Redundant - Overrides automatic input selection and selects the Redundant MADI input as the input used by the router.

This is an override and will prevent the router automatically switching to the main input if the redundant input stops working.

5.3.3 References

The reference screens are used to view the st atus of the refe rences and also to config ure the derived references and offsets. If the router is fitted with Nucleus 2450 controllers only the Reference Status screen will be displayed (see Figure 31).

For details on video references see section 3.11 and for the audio reference see section 3.12. Reference Status Screen (Nucleus 2450 only) This screen displays the status of the router reference inputs. See the on screen Key for

details.

Figure 31 Reference Status (Nucleus 2450 only)

Page 61

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Signals Door PC 5.3

Note:

Derived References (Nucleus2 only) This screen displays the status of the external references, offsets and derived references.

See the on screen Key for details. Derived video references enable the router to use a reference signal standard that is not

available from outside of the router frame as if it is a standard physical video reference input. Video reference signals are derived (created) from the BNC video reference inputs on the

rear of the router. These derived video references can be at a higher or lower resolution than the signal on the BNC reference input but they must share the same fr ame rate as the origina l reference signal they are created from. For further details on derived video references see section 3.11.

The pictorial status screen displays the video st an dard of each of the extern al BNC reference inputs. The screen also shows whether the external references are passed straight to one of the four internal references or are used to create one or more derived references. Any of the references can have an offset applied if required. The audio reference input status is also displayed.

Touch the Configure References button to make configuration changes to the video references (see Figure 33).

If the Configure References button is not displayed on the door screen it is not possible to configure the references from the door screen. This will be the case when the screen has been edited by the system administrator to stop references being modified from the router door screen.

Alternatively references can be configur ed from Workbenc h an d pu sh ed t o the con tr olle rs , see the Workbench manual for information. For det ails on configuring the au dio reference see section 3.12.

Figure 32 Reference Status (Nucleus2 only)

Page 62

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Signals Door PC 5.3

Derived Reference Control (Nucleus2 only) This screen is used to configure the router video references, the configuration is displayed

dynamically so that you have a pictorial represent ation of the reference setup. Before making any configuration changes please see section 3.11.

Figure 33 Reference Configuration (Nucleus2 only)

The router has up to four derived references that can be configured to be used by the router when switching video signals. Each of the four derived refe rence configurations work in the same way and are described below:

From External Ref drop down menus:

• Select one of the four external BNC references (BNC Ref 1 to BNC Ref 4) to be used for the derived reference. BNC external references can be used for one or more derived references.

Derived Format: drop down menus:

• None - The selected BNC external reference signal is passed straight through to the derived reference.

• SD - the selected external reference signal will be used to create a derived SD reference of the same frame rate as the external reference signal.

• 720P - the selected external reference signal will be used to create a derived 720p reference of the same frame rate as the external reference signal.

• 1080i - the selected external reference signal will be used to create a derived 1080i reference of the same frame rate as the external reference signal.

• 1080p - the selected external reference signal will be used to create a derived 1080p reference of the same frame rate as the external reference signal.

If an offset is required for one or more derived references touch the Referen ce Offset button (see Figure 34).

To return to the Derived Reference status screen touch the Back button.

Page 63

Sirius 800 Series User Manual Signals Door PC 5.3

Important:

Note:

Reference Offset Configuration (Nucleus2 only) This screen is used to configure offset s for the de rived references if they are required. Of fset s

are set in milliseconds, lines or frames. An offset can be set on a reference signal to negate timing issues to make sure the video signal switches at the correct point, see section 3.11.5 and section 3.11.6 for examples of when this may be required.

Before making any configuration changes please see section 3.11.

Figure 34 Reference Offset Configuration (Nucl eu s2 onl y )

The offset is set by using the Up and Down arrows or dragging the slider. To set the offset back to zero touch the Zero button. The maximum offset that can be set for all video standards is one frame.

If the derived reference standard is altered after an offset has been set then the previous offset time will remain as the offset. This will probably need to be changed for the new reference standard.

To return to the Derived Reference Control screen touch the Reference Crosspoint button (see Figure 33).

To return to the Derived Reference status screen touch the Back button.

The Main Video Crosspoint Matrix Status screen displays the status of the main and redundant video crosspoint modules. The Exp ansion Video Cr osspoint S tatus screen displays the same information for the expansion video crosspoints (Sirius 850 only). The screens are also used to switch between video crosspoint modules if a video crosspoint module needs to be replaced.

• The Main Video Crosspoint Matrix Status screen for the Sirius 830 differs from the Sirius 840 and 850 screen because the Sirius 830 has a maximum of two crosspoint cards compared with the maximum of five crosspoint modules that can be fitted to the 840 and 850 routers.

• The Expansion Video Crosspoint Matrix Status screen displays the expansion video crosspoint modules in the remote frame (expansion frame) when a dual frame Sirius 850 system is being used.

• The operation of the screen is essentially the same for all of the Sirius 800 routers and is described in this section.

• For information on replacing a failed crosspoint module see section 10.4.1.

5.6.3 Dial Up Monitor

Touch the Dial Up Monitor butt on on the main menu screen to display the Monitor Dial Up panel. The monitor dial up panel is used to route any vid eo or audio signal to any one of the four monitor outputs on the Input/Output monitoring rear panel (see Section 13).

Figure 43 Monitor Dial Up Panel

Routing a signal to a monitoring output:

Each monitoring output must be configured to output either a video signal (including embedded audio) or discrete audio signal (see Table 55 on page 228 for det ails). This means that you must know how each monitoring output is configured so that you route the correct signal type to each monitoring output.

1. Touch the button for the monitoring output that the signal will be routed to (button M1 to M4 on the door PC screen). The monitor output button will change to red to indicate that it has been selected.

2. If the selected monitor output is already set to output a signal the current settings for that output are displayed as red buttons on the door PC (see Figure 43).

3. These settings can now be changed if required (see steps 7. or 8.) or a new input/output signal can be selected (see step 4.).

4. From the Matrix Selection box touch the Video or Audio button to set the signal type to be routed to the output monitor (see the note on page 77).

5. Touch the DST/SRC button to toggle between the Destination and Source text boxes as required (highlighted with a Red box around the selected text box).

6. Enter the signal channel number in the selected text box (Destination or Source) by touching keypad numbers and then touch the Take button to route the signal to the selected monitor output. If you make a mistake touch the Clear button and then enter the channel number correctly.

• Real Input button - selects the actual input received by the router before any

processing is applied to the signal.

• Post audio processing button (Video AHP modules only) - selects the input

signal after audio processing has been applied to the signal.

The Post audio processing button is present for all input modules but is only used for video AHP modules. The button setting is ignored for all other input modules.

8. If the signal to be monitored is an Output signal touch the appropriate button from the

Output Position box:

• Pre audio processing button (Video AHP modules only) - selects the output

signal before audio processing has been applied to the signal by the output module.

Signal Status function

6 Catsii Functionality

Catsii LED's are a unique feature to the Sirius 800 router range and allow easy identification of the status of an input or output. They can be lit in different color states depending on the signal type, and can be used in a “Cross Hair” formation to highlight and pinpoint a specific input or output. Catsii LEDs are fitted to the Video and MADI rear panels for the main inputs and outputs. The expansion output rear panels are not fitted with Catsii LEDs.

The Catsii LEDs have two functions:

• To indicate signal status

• To identify a specific BNC, HD BNC or Fiber connector

The Catsii LED's switch between these two functions, so they ne ver operate at the same time. If any port identification is active, the port identification function is operational. If all the port identifications are inactive, the signal status function is operational.

8.2.4 Sirius 830: Rear Input/Output Connector Configuration

Frames that are not fully populated with input or output rear panels have blanking plates fitted in their place. Figure 57 shows a mix of fiber and BNC input and output rear panel connector s on the rear of a Sirius 830 router.

• The columns count down from top to bottom then back to top again and from right to left. The video and embedded audio channel numbers for input and output rear panel slots 1 and 12 are shown in Figure 57 The channel numbers for all of the rear panel connectors are listed in Table 17

• If MADI rear panels are fitted each input or output contains up to 64 mono audio channels.

Fiber

• Each fiber input and output rear panel has 12 SFP cages with two inputs or outp uts per fiber SFP module.

• The main/redundant MADI streams alternate between the fiber SFP modules meaning that if one SFP module fails either the main or redundant MADI stream will still be available. See sections 9.6 and 9.17.1 (inputs) or sections 11.1.1 and

11.9 (outputs) for details.
