INTRODUCTION
These installation instructions provide a guide to the installation of the SD1012 Switcher.
ON DELIVERY OF THE SYSTEM
The equipment is supplied in dedicated packaging provided by the manufacturer and should not be
accepted if delivered in inferior or unauthorised materials.
Carefully unpack the system components and check them against the packing list. If there is
anything incorrect, notify your dealer or Snell and Wilcox directly at once.
Check that the equipment has not been damaged in transit. If any damage has occurred, notify
your dealer or Snell and Wilcox directly at once as well as the carrier.
Always retain the original packing materials if possible, they could prove useful should it ever be
necessary to transport or ship the system units.

LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Environmental Considerations
The ambient temperature for all the supplied equipment should not exceed the limits of 5 and 35
degrees C. at a relative humidity of 10 to 90% (non-condensing).
Installing the equipment in a clean environment with moderate temperature and humidity will
promote a long and trouble-free equipment life.
Location
The SD1000 Mainframe may be used free-standing (table-top configuration) or installed in a
standard 483mm (19 inch) equipment rack. The following precautions should be observed:
a) The cooling fan exhausts at the rear of the unit must not be obstructed - a minimum
clearance of 200mm (8 inches) is ESSENTIAL.
b) The slots in the front panel are to allow the inlet of cooling air and MUST NOT BE
OBSTRUCTED.
c) When mounting the mainframe in an equipment rack it MUST be supported at the rear, not
by the rack-mounting ears alone.
Cooling is provided by drawing air in at the front of the unit and exhausting it at the rear.
The mainframe should never be operated for any significant period of time with any covers
removed as this will affect the internal airflow and cause overheating.
Control Panel Installation
The control panel is designed to stand freely on a tabletop.
If it is necessary to secure the control panel to a control desk (e.g., in an OB van) the control panel
has to be opened. This installation MUST be carried out by a qualified Installation or Service
engineer.
Battery Warnings
Empty Holder - There is an empty battery holder on the MBX card in the Control Panel, this
holder is not used.
No battery should be fitted to this card!

LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT - continued
Power Supply
All three major parts of the system - Switcher Mainframe, Router Mainframe, and Control Panel have the option to be fitted with dual power supplies. In each case the unit will work happily with a
single power-supply connected if required.
For safety a mains earth connection MUST be provided.
The unit has auto-ranging mains input, and can be connected to any standard AC supply between
115v and 230v 50/60Hz without adjustment.
Fusing
The control panel is protected by a 4 amp, and the mainframe by a 5 amp, anti-surge (slow-blow)
fuse located in the mains inlet / power switch assembly, see diagram below.

SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION
Introduction
Your system has been set up and tested before shipment. Installation normally consists of siting
and interconnecting the system components, connecting video and key inputs and outputs and
setting up.
Control Panel
• Remove and keep the supplied nuts and washers from the two bolts on the top of the Control
Panel.
• Remove the LCD Touch Screen module from the packaging.
• Carefully fit it over the two bolts on the top of the Control Panel.
• Fix down the LCD Touch Screen using the washers and nuts that you removed earlier.
• Secure the earth strap between the Touch Screen module and the Control Panel using the
fixings provided.
• Connect the 25-pin D connector to the similar one on the rear of the Control Panel using the
cable provided.
• Connect the 9-way D connector to the similar one on the rear of the Control Panel using the
cable provided.
• If desired, a standard VGA monitor can be plugged into the 15-way sub-D connector at the
bottom rear of the panel. The signal frequency should be acceptable to the vast majority of
VGA-compatible monitors (see Specifications Section).
• Finally, connect the 10 Base-T connector on the Control Panel to the socket on the Switcher
Mainframe marked “Panel 10 BASE TX” using the cable provided.
Power
Switch all power switches to their OFF states. Connect IEC power cables from the power socket(s)
on the rear of the Switcher Mainframe and Control Panel to the appropriate AC mains distribution
socket(s).

Inputs
Connect up to 12 SDI inputs to the 12 Serial Inputs of the Switcher Mainframe. Sources can be
either video or key. If the system has the 24 input option fitted, all input connectors can be used.
Connecting to an Alternate Mainframe
Connect the 10 BASE T socket on the rear panel of the primary mainframe (adjacent to the Panel
10 BASE TX connector) to the Panel 10 BASE TX socket on the alternate mainframe.
Referencing
The Switcher can be Genlocked to any of its Inputs or to analogue sync on the Ref Analogue In
loop-through connectors, selectable from the Configure-System-Genlock & Outputs menu.
Note that the input number set in this menu is absolute and is not remapped through the
Configure-User-Source Mapping menu.
If the incoming reference signal is not used elsewhere then the remaining Ref Analogue In BNC
should be terminated with a 75Ω terminator.
Whether the Switcher Mainframe is acting as the Master SPG for the system or is being Genlocked
to an external source, the Ref Sync Out BNC provides an adjustably-timed analogue sync output
with which to synchronise external sources.
Referencing - Input Timing
Since all inputs have framestore synchronisers, correctly positioned pictures will be obtained even if
the sources are free running. However it is recommended that the switcher and source are locked
together. This ensures constant video delay through the switcher and avoids missing or repeated
frames which will occur every time a source “runs through” a complete frame
There are two methods for referencing the switcher system.
(a) A common ‘station’ sync or black-burst reference is fed to all sources, and to the switcher. This
arrangement should be used when same sources are fed to other equipment apart from the
switcher. In this case switcher Genlock should be On, and the Genlock H/V Phase controls
adjust the timing of the switcher relative to the sources.
(b) The sources are referenced from the Ref Sync Output of the switcher. In this case the timing
of the sources is set relative to the switcher by the Sync H/V-Phase controls. This
arrangement should be used if the switcher is the master reference in the system. It can also
be used when the output of the switcher needs to be timed into following equipment; in this
case the switcher will is genlocked to a ‘station’ sync or black-burst, and the
Genlock H/V Phase will move the timing of the switcher output and the sources together.
These controls can be found in the Configure-System-Genlock & Outputs sub-menu.
Note: the Output Line-Standards must be correctly set before doing this.

SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION - continued
Referencing - System Delays
The delay through the Golden DaVE system is illustrated in the timing diagram on the next page.
With no option (OPT) card the minimum delay which is possible is 185 pixels (about 14µs), but as
the diagram shows, with a DVE card fitted a delay of over 2 frames is easily achievable!
Because all inputs have frame synchronisers, a source cannot be set outside the source window; if
a source is delayed (shifted to the right) beyond the end of the window, the whole diagram moves
one frame to the right, so the source is now at the left hand edge of the window, and the input
synchroniser is inserting a frame of delay.
To minimise lip-sync problems, it is usually preferred to minimise the delay through a switcher. If
the OPT card is fitted, the desired Border Gen Delay must be set in the Configure-System-
System Delays sub-menu, before making timing adjustments since it affects the processing delay.
Refer to the User Manual.
For example if the Border Gen Delay is set to 10 lines, the processing delay will be 10 lines +
33us. If the sources are set 11 lines in advance of the output, this will allow for the processing
delay. The sources will be at the right hand end of the source window in the diagram, and the
delay through the input synchronisers will be 64 - 33 = 31us. If the switcher and sources are locked
to a common reference (method (a) above), set the Genlock V Phase to 11 to achieve this. If the
sources are genlocked to the Ref Sync Output of the switcher (method (b) above), set the Sync
V-Phase control to 11 lines advance: 625 - 11 = 614 in 625-line standards or 525 - 11 = 514 in 525line standards. If the DVE option is fitted the delay will now be 1 frame +11 lines. It can be
reduced to 11 lines for paths which do not pass through a DVE by setting the DVE Delay in the
Configure-System-System Delays sub-menu to minimum; in this case there will be a time jump
when a DVE is selected or de-selected.
Outputs
Connect the four outputs Program, Clean Pgm, Preview 1, & Preview 2 to external equipment or
monitoring devices as desired.
Program This is the main program output.
Clean Pgm This is the main program output before the DSK stage.
Preview 1 Preview 1 can be switched between any source, a number of mixing points in the
system and transition previews.
Preview 2 Preview 2 is a second preview output with similar capabilities to the first, except that
it cannot preview mixer transitions.
Two copies of each output are available.
The Preview 1 output is also available in Analogue Component, as either YPbPr or RGB. Whether
YPbPr or RGB format is used can be selected in the Configure - System - Genlock & Outputs
menu. The R, G, B and Y outputs have syncs. If the monitor requires separate syncs, the Ref
Sync Output can be used if it is not required for system referencing.

SWITCHER TIMING FOR VTR PRE-READ
Introduction Pre-read is a facility of some VTRs which allows video
information to be read from the tape, be processed by some
external equipment and then written back to the tape in the
same place as it was read from. This process allows tape to
tape editing to be carried out using only two VTRs instead of
the normal three.
Processing delay The processing equipment will delay video passing through it
by some amount of time. This delay must be less than the
maximum delay which can be accommodated by the pre-read
VTR. Different makes and models of VTR have different
maximum delay capabilities, refer to the VTR manufacturer for
this information.
The processing delay of a Golden DaVE switcher is dependant
on how it is set-up. Absolute minimum delay is 14u sec with
no option card fitted, or 33u sec with the OPT card fitted but
with no Border Gen delay set. The maximum Border Gen
delay which can be set is 20 lines, making the maximum delay
through a Golden DaVE switcher, with no DVE, 1313u sec.
Setting Golden DaVE How Golden DaVE can be set and used depends on the delay
handling capabilities of the pre-read VTR being used. If the
VTR can accept a delay of 21 lines, or more, the full Colour
Correction, Chroma Keying and Border Generation facilities of
Golden DaVE can be used.
Note DVE cannot be used with pre-read as the delay produced
by the DVE function is one full frame.
There are two standard methods of synchronising the video
sources, switcher and VTR(s) which are shown in diagrams on
the next page, these methods are:-
a) Sync everything to studio black burst reference. In this case
the Genlock Phase of the switcher should be set to a positive
value anywhere between the actual delay of the switcher and
the maximum delay the pre-read VTR can accommodate.
b) Use the sync O/P reference of the switcher to synchronise the
sources and VTR(s). In this case the switcher sync output
Sync Phase should be set to a negative value anywhere
between the actual delay of the switcher and the maximum
delay the pre-read VTR can accommodate.
Note Ensure that the VTR(s) is/are set-up to be synchronised to the
external sync reference and not to the video on the tape!

CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS
Ports
The Switcher Mainframe has Ethernet, Serial and Tally & GPI I/O ports.
The Ethernet ports are used for connection between the mainframe and the control panel, to
connect to an alternate mainframe and for FTP connection to provide the transfer of Stills.
Serial Ports 1 to 4 are RS422 ports and can be assigned a communications protocol in order to
communicate with number of external devices. Serial Port 5 (RS232) is for diagnostic purposes
only. The protocols used by the serial ports (1 to 4) are assigned in the Configure - System - Port
Protocols sub-menu (see User Manual). For most applications a simple 9-way pin-to-pin cable will
be sufficient to connect to an editor, VTR or other device.
32 Tally outputs and eight assignable GPI inputs are provided on the 3 off 25way D-type
connectors.
FTP - Connecting to a PC
A computer may be either connected directly to the switcher mainframe or via a network hub.
If connecting directly use a cross wired (swap) Ethernet cable to connect a computer network card
to the 10 Base-T connector on the rear of the switcher mainframe.
If connecting via network hub use a standard (pin to pin) Ethernet cable from the hub to the
switcher mainframe 10 Base-T connector.
GVG 100
This editor protocol allows control from an editor capable of driving a GVG100 or 110 switcher.
The main portion of the interface is mapped onto the SD1012’s main mixing bus. The DSK and
Fade-to-Black sections are also driven.
Wipe numbers 100 to 103 trigger the following functions:
100 - Non Additive Mix.
101 - SUPERmix.
102 - DVE BacKGrounD transition.

Note that not all editors will allow a wipe number of greater than 99 to be specified when running
GVG-100 protocol. In particular on the Sony BVE9x0 and BVE9x00 editors a wipe number greater
than 99 means "Reverse Wipe". However on the Sony BVE2000 editor negative numbers are used
to mean "Reverse Wipe" and therefore wipe numbers of 100 or greater can be used.
Learn and Recall of DMEMs (E-MEMS) to and from the hard disk in the switcher is supported.

GVG 4000
This protocol allows an editor capable of controlling a GVG 3000 or 4000 switcher to drive the P/P
bus of the Switcher. Learn and Recall of DMEMs (E-MEMS) to and from the hard disk in the
switcher is supported. The protocol also supports transfer of DMEMS and Timelines to and from
the editor, and running of Timelines from the editor. Editors capable of driving the GVG 2200
series should also work with this interface
The P/P is driven by the M/E-1 part of the protocol and the DSK section is driven by the DSK-1 part
of the protocol.
Controlling the PVW bus from the Editor controls the switcher’s PVW 1 bus.
Controlling AUX 1 from the Editor controls the switcher’s PVW 2 bus.
Controlling AUX busses 2 to 9 from the Editor controls the switcher’sAUX 1 to 4 busses.
When setting areas of the switcher to Learn/Recall/Transfer DMEMs or run Timelines, the
protocol’s BKGD area will drive the switcher’s SOURCES DMEM/Timeline Enable, and the
protocol’s MISC area will drive the switcher’s GLOBAL DMEM/Timeline Enable.
The crosspoint assignment is as follows:

There are three variants of the GVG-3000/4000 Protocol. They are identical except for the way that
Aux and Preview busses are assigned. The bus name in brackets in the protocol setting is the
switcher bus that is driven by the incoming AUX 1 bus controls. In detail the bus assignments are
as follows:
Incoming bus (in Bold) from editor will drive:
Protocol Setting
Aux 1 Aux 2–8 Aux 9 PVW MASK
“GVG-4000 (AUX 1)” Aux 1 Aux 2–8 - PVW 1 PVW 2
“GVG-4000 (PVW 1)” PVW 1 Aux 1–7 Aux 8 PVW 2 “GVG-4000 (PVW 2)” PVW 2 Aux 1–7 Aux 8 PVW 1 -
Therefore when driven from an editor that follows the convention of using AUX 1 for the Edit
Preview Bus, the bus named in the protocol setting will be the Edit Preview Bus. (For editors, such
as the Sony BVE-9000 series, that use the PVW bus for the Edit Preview Bus, this will not be the
case).
SONY DVS
Learn and Recall of DMEMs (E-Files) to and from the hard disk in the switcher is supported.
(Transfer of DMEMs (E-Files) to and from the editor’s EDL and other Sony-specific features are not
yet supported).
There are three variants of the Sony DVS Protocol. They are identical except for the way that Aux

Using a Sony BVE-9100 editor
There is a fairly common problem when using the BVE-9100 editor and S & W switchers whereby
the switcher appears to be acting slightly too late on commands coming from the editor (or, that the
editor is sending commands slightly too late for the switcher).
The problem is easily overcome by a setting on the editor.
If, when running the SD1008 switcher from a Sony BVE-9100 editor, the edit timing appears to be
inaccurate, please follow this procedure.
Determine how many fields late (if any) the switcher is switching is as follows.
1. Using the editor perform a one-second Key Cut On transition with a Key Delay of one frame.
(This forces the editor to actually cut the key on "live" during the edit interval rather than
during the preroll.)
2. Examine the start of the edit field-by-field. You should get two fields (one frame) of the new
source without the key, then the key should appear on the third field of the edit interval.
Obviously this assumes that the recorder is correctly timed. However if you use a tape with burnt-in
timecode you should be able to prove the switcher timing regardless of the recorder's timing (and
you should also be able to check the recorder's timing too).
The most common problem (when running Sony BVS/DVS protocol with HD) is that the switcher is
acting one field too late, i.e. there are 3 clear fields of new material before the key is cut on over the
top of it.
To fix this, the BVE-9100 editor's switcher command transmit timing needs to be adjusted. This
adjusts how much in advance the BVE-9100 sends commands to the switcher.
DATA-5 in the IDC Serial Switcher Interface screen (known as "TRANSMIT INTERVAL OFFSET")
does this. Despite the fact that it's about the only item on that screen that doesn't say "[BY
QUARTER FIELD]", it IS in quarter-field steps. So, for example, to compensate for a one FRAME
(two fields) flash you need to set it to 08.

To adjust this setting on the BVE-9100 step-by-step:
1. Press Shift-Setup.
2. Press F3 IDC.
3. Cursor down to the SW/MON entry in the IDC list
4. Press F8 ENTRY.
5. Press F3 SERIAL IF SW'ER
6. Cursor down to DATA-5 ("TRANSMIT INTERVAL OFFSET")
7. Type in the new value required.
8. Press RET to exit the screen, saving the value. (F8 EXIT leaves the screen but does NOT
save the value.)
9. Press RET three more times to go back to the main screen.
The new value required should be determined by the Key Cut On test as described above, but
these are values we have found to be suitable in our testing.

VTR
Using the Sony VTR (P2) protocol, the Switcher emulates, specifically, a Sony BVH-2000. The
timeline is treated as length of videotape in a virtual VTR controlled by the protocol.
There are two variants of this protocol: VTR-Ballistics and VTR-No B’stics. The difference is that
on reception of a Preroll (0x20, 0x30) or Cue-Up-With-Data (0x24, 0x31) command, the “Ballistics”
version will jump to one second away from the desired timecode, then slowly roll up to it and stop.
The “No B’stics” version will jump to the desired timecode immediately. The latter mode is quicker,
but may confuse editors that do not expect one-inch tape decks to be so athletic!
To enable this function to operate, F1R Time Touch must be On in the main TIMELINE menu.
Follow Real VTR
This protocol allows the switcher’s timeline to follow the tape motion of a real VTR, or indeed any
device supporting Sony VTR (P2) protocol. This allows, for example, a switcher timeline to be built
that has different colour-correction settings for each scene on a tape.
To enable this function to operate, F1R Time Touch must be On in the main TIMELINE menu.
There are two ways of using this protocol.
1 The switcher emulates an editor (it becomes a controlling device) and locks the switcher’s
timeline to timecode it requests from the VTR.
In this case, simply plug a normal pin-to-pin 9-pin cable between the designated port on the
switcher and the remote port of the VTR.
2 Alternatively in a system that has an editor (or other controlling device) connected to the
VTR, a special “sniffer” arrangement is inserted into the control cable between the editor
and the VTR. This allows the switcher to monitor the timecode replies transmitted from the
VTR to the editor, while preventing the switcher’s timecode requests clashing with those
from the editor. Note: this method relies on the editor transmitting timecode requests to the
VTR. Most editors do this at least once a field; however some designs only transmit such
requests once every few fields. This interface will not work as well with such editors.
The special connector arrangement required is as follows:
To Editor (or VTR) To VTR (or Editor)
To Switcher’s
“Follow Real VTR” port
9-way female D-Type 9-way male D-type 9-way female D-type

The left-hand two connectors form a transparent loop-through between the editor and the VTR, and
can be connected either way round. The right-hand connector should be plugged into a cable
leading to the switcher.

GENERAL PURPOSE INPUTS & OUTPUTS
Overview
Standard System The switcher mainframe has eight general purpose inputs and
32 outputs. The action of each of these inputs and outputs
may be allocated by the user from a range of functions. The
allocation is performed in the GPI and GPO menus.
The Inputs The general purpose inputs are user programmable in the
“Configure - User - GPI” menu.
Each input may be independently set to trigger a function
when an edge or level is applied to the input connector pin.
The menu showing the available GPIs is shown below.

CONTROL PORTS AND PROTOCOLS - continued
The Outputs There are thirty-two general purpose outputs, located on the
three Tally connectors (25 way D-type) on the rear of the
switcher mainframe. Each output may be independently
programmed to “indicate” any one of a wide range of
occurrences or combinations of occurrences. These
occurrences fall into five groups which are detailed below.
Video Tally Each output may be set to Tally any one of the video inputs.
Bus Tally The use of a particular bus may be tallied.
Trans Running The transitions, Fade to Black, Program / Preset and DSK may
be tallied.
T/L Running A particular timeline may be tallied, alternatively a Tally may
be generated if any timeline is running.
T/L User Bits Six “flag” bits are available which can be linked to specific
keyframes on specific timelines. These bits may be used as
tallies.
Note A complete list of all of the “occurrences” which may be tallied
on the General Purpose Outputs (GPO) is on page 26.

Programming The Inputs
The GPI functions are programmed in the GPI menu found
under the Configure - User menu.
The left screen shows the eight GPIs with their allocated
function and which edge or level of the control signal will
trigger the function. The rotary controls are used to set the
parameters. The leftmost one steps through the GPIs, the
third from left selects the edge or level and the rightmost sets
the value. Value only applies to functions with DMEMs and is
the number of the required DMEM.
The second from left rotary control allocates the function to the
GPI. When it is rotated the menu screen changes to that on
the right. This menu displays all the available functions and
the rotary control steps through them. When the required
function is highlighted release the rotary control and the menu
will return to that on the left with the selected function allocated
to the selected GPI.

Programming The Outputs
The GPO functions are programmed in the GPO menu which
is accessed from the GPI menu by F1R.
The rotary controls are used to set the parameters.
Conditions The leftmost control (GPO) selects the GPO, the next one
(GPO Class) selects the “occurrence group” and GPO Mode
selects the actual occurrence.
If T/L User Bits is set as the GPO Class, F3L “User Bit” selects
the actual bit (1 to 6) to be flagged.
The rotary control “Pulse Width” determines the time that the
output relay is activated.
Active State The active state of the output relay may be set as “Closed” or
“Open” by F4L (Relay) which toggles between open and
closed.

Setting the Real-Time Clock
It is recommended that you set the Real-Time Clock at installation time. To do this, press the
CONFIG MENU button, then press F2L User and then F4L More until F3L is Set Clock, press this
button. F1L & F2L select Date and Time, adjust the rotary controls along the bottom of the screen
to the desired date & time values. When ready, press the F4R Set Clock button.
There is no automatic correction for Daylight Saving Time - in areas where DST is implemented the
clock will have to be manually adjusted twice a year.
For more details about this menu, see User Manual.
System Reboot
If required, the system can be rebooted without powering off and on. This can be done using the
System Reboot button in the Misc – Factory Reset menu.
Alternatively, hold down the four FTB buttons (FTB ENABLE, TIME, CUT & AUTO) at the righthand end of the control panel at the same time as the DSK, Program & Preset bus BLACK buttons
at the left-hand end of the control panel. Keep these buttons held down, and after five seconds all
buttons will light green for two seconds, then amber for two seconds, then red for two seconds (all
times approximate). They will then all extinguish and the system will reboot.
No stored data (DMEMs, stills, configs, etc.) will be lost as a result of this process.
System Settings
Following installation of the switcher system, settings of television standard, genlock etc will not
automatically be remembered when the system is switched off.
To set the state on power up, save the current state as System 000 in the Config-System-System
Save menu. Settings such as source remapping and key associations should be saved as Config
000 in the Config-User-Save Config menu. For full details refer to the User Manual.

Remote Allocation of Aux Sources
The four auxiliary outputs may have their sources allocated from one or more remote panels rather
than from the switcher control panel. Snell & Wilcox do not manufacture a panel for this function
but the Quartz Electronics CP3201 - S7 Remote Panel can be used as described below.
There are three methods of using the Quartz CP3201 - S7 remote panel to control Aux outputs -
1. A panel connected to one switcher mainframe serial port to control all four Aux outputs.
2. A panel connected to a switcher mainframe port for each Aux output to be controlled.
3. Two or more panels connected to one switcher mainframe ports to control all four Aux
outputs. This method requires some simple interface equipment being made.
Note. The Quartz Remote Panel used for each of these methods MUST be the -S7 version which
uses an Open Protocol and is the only Quartz protocol understood by the switcher.
Quartz panel button functions
The panel picture below shows the Quartz panel button allocation. The rightmost four
buttons select the Aux output when the switcher port is set to Aux Selectable (method 1 &
3). The leftmost 36 buttons select which source is allocated to the Aux.
1. All Aux O/Ps controlled from one panel.
The Quartz CP3201-S7 remote panel has 40 push button switches, four of them are used
to select the required Aux output and the others to select the source.
The Quartz panel is connected to any of the four RS-422 serial ports on the switcher
mainframe using a standard RS-422 cable. The selected port has to have its protocol set
to “Aux Selectable” in the Config - System - Port Protocols menu.
To select a source for an Aux O/P, press the button relating to the Aux, then press the
button relating to the source.
Note. The Aux selection is a latching function and so remains selected until a different Aux is
selected.
2. A remote panel for each Aux O/P.
In this scenario a Quartz panel is required for each Aux O/P to be remotely controlled.
Each panel is connected to a switcher serial port using a standard RS-422 cable and that
ports protocol is set to the applicable Aux O/P (1 to 4).

OTHER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES - continued
3. More than one panel connected to one switcher port.
Note This method can only be used if the switcher is running system software V2.3 R2 or later.
Up to four Quartz panels can be connected to one switcher serial port to give independent
control of four Aux O/Ps whilst only using one switcher port. This allows other ports to be
used for other functions.
This method requires a RS-422 four way extender cable, a Master Diode Buffer unit and
three (max) Slave Diode Buffer units to be made, see below.
Extender cable
The extender cable is made from 9 way ribbon cable, 1 x 9 way “D”- type male connector
and (up to) 4 x 9 way “D”- type female connectors. The male connector goes at one end of
the ribbon cable.
9 pin male

OTHER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES - continued
Interconnection & Set-up
The Diode Buffers connect directly to the Computer Port of the Quartz panels. A standard RS-422
cable connects the Diode Buffers to the extender cable. If less than four Quartz panels are used
the Master Diode Buffer must still be used and in the connector at the end of the extender. The
extender connects to any one of the switcher mainframe serial ports.
Switcher
The protocol of the switcher port must be set to “Aux Selectable” in the Config - System - Port
Protocols menu.
Quartz Panel
Each Quartz panel has to have a different address. This is set by card-edge switches located to
the right rear of the main board. Depending on manufacture date there will be a 4 way DIP switch
and either one or two rotary HEX switches. Where there are two rotary switches they set the
address, the left one sets the high byte and the right one the low byte. Where there is only one
rotary switch the high byte (bits 4 & 5) is set by switches 3 & 4 of the DIP switch.
The high byte should be set for the address range 10H to 1FH, this is position 1 for the rotary
control or DIP 3 & 4 up. The (other) rotary switch then sets the address within this range.
The remaining two DIP switches should be set to -
DIP 1 = UP, DIP 2 = down.
The computer interface board CI-0003 (fitted as standard to the CP3200 -S7 panel) has a link to
select the communications protocol to RS232 or RS422. This link should be set to RS422. The
RS422 position is identified by a “4” (the RS232 position by a “2”).

The four RS-422 ports are software-configurable to be that for either a controlling device or, more
commonly, a controlled device.
Above is shown the industry standard wiring for a controlled device, which is the configuration used
for all the editor interfaces currently supported. In most cases only a pin-to-pin cable is required to
connect these sockets to an external editor.
If the port should ever be configured as a controlling device, simply exchange the words “Transmit”
and “Receive” to arrive at the correct wiring.

As can be seen from the above, the SD1000 Mainframe is configured as a DCE (not DTE) RS-232
device, therefore only a pin-to-pin cable is required to connect this port to a PC. This configuration
is fixed.
