Section 1

System Overview

1-1. Digital Routing Switcher System

The system consists of the following units.

.Routing Switcher

(DVS-V1616/V3232B/V6464B/A3232/TC3232/RS1616, BVS-V3232/A3232, HDS-V3232)

It switches signals according to the command from the remote control unit. Varied switchers are available for different types of signals used (serial digital video, digital audio, time code, RS-422A,

etc.)

.Remote Control Unit (BKS-R1601/R3202/R3203/R3204/R3205/R3206/R1607/R1608/R3209/R3210/R3216/R1617/R3219/ R3280/R3281)

It switches signals and displays the name of the selected signal.

. Control Terminal

It sets the configuration and operation of the router system. It monitors the system in operation and displays the messages.

A unique control protocol called S-BUS (Sony serial bus) is used for controlling the switcher system. With this protocol, all control signals are transmitted by using one 75 Zcoaxial cable. The transmission path is called the “S-BUS data link”. Units on the S-BUS data links transmit data through time-divided bi-directional communication.

Other than the S-BUS, the 9-pin remote control for RS-422A can also be used for this system. But the system will function best when the S-BUS control is used. For DVS-V3232B/V6464B and HDS-V3232, both protocols can be used together.

With cascade connection, several sets of routing switchers of DVS-V6464B/V6464M can be connected together to expand the input/output matrix size. The inputs and outputs of DVS-V6464M can be expanded up to 1024.

To operate this system, specified settings (making of table data) must be previously carried out using the control terminal.

1-2-1. Specifications and functions of control port

The DVS-V3232B/V6464B and HDS-V3232 digital video routing switcher is equipped with four kinds of remote ports REMOTE 1 (S-BUS), REMOTE 2 (9-pin), REMOTE 3 (25-pin), and REMOTE 4 (monitor S-BUS). Other switchers are equipped with three kinds of remote ports excluding REMOTE 4.

The specifications and functions of the control ports are as follows.

REMOTE 1 BNC 75 Z 47 kZterminated
Protocol	S-BUS control
	Data Transfer Method	BI-PHASE SPACE
	Data Transfer Speed	312.5 kbps/1250 kbps*1
	Max Cable Length	500 m/125 m*1 (BELDEN 8281 cable or equivalent)
	FCS Data	HDLC CRC-CCIT x16 +x12 +x5 +1 Initial all high
Function	With this port the communication between the primary and secondary stations is performed.
	Remote control units, routing switchers and display units are connected to this S-BUS data
	link in order to perform system functions.
	REMOTE 1 is sometimes simply called “remote” for units having this remote port only.
	To distinguish the S-BUS using REMOTE 1 from the monitor S-BUS (REMOTE 4), which
	will be described later, it is called standard S-BUS or simply S-BUS.
REMOTE 2 D-sub 9-pin
Protocol	RS-422A Flow control, 38.4 kbps, 100 Z/10 kZ
	This port accepts three kinds of protocols.

Model	DVS-V6464B	DVS-A3232	DVS-RS1616	DVS-V1616
Protocol	DVS-V3232B		DVS-TC3232	BKPF-R70

Function	With this port communication between two units is performed. A switcher, DME, etc. are
	connected to this port. The functions of the router system using this RS-422A port depend
	on a superior controller so that the system may not have so many functions as S-BUS
	system’s.

*1: The specifications of BKPF-R70. When BKPF-R70 is used, termination resistors are necessary at both ends of the cable. The cable cannot be checked for open circuit.

*2: Known before as switcher protocol.

1-3

1-2. System Control

REMOTE 3 D-sub 25-pin (MODEM side pin arrangement)

Protocol	RS-232C, 9600 bps*1, 8bit, No Parity, No check
Function	With this port the communication between the primary station and the control terminal and
	the setting of the units are performed. It is recommended that the control terminal be always
	connected to the switcher set to the primary station, so that you can see error message of
	the communication circuit and operation condition of units.
	Although distorted displays may be shown when a terminal with low access speed is used,
	does not mean that the routing system has failed. In this case, replace the control terminal
	by one with high access speed. If not, it will be necessary to guess the contents of the
	display on the screen.
REMOTE 4 BNC 75 Z 47 kZterminated
Protocol	S-BUS control
	Data Transfer Method	BI-PHASE SPACE
	Data Transfer Speed	312.5 kbps
	Max Cable Length	500 m (BELDEN 8281 cable or equivalent)
	FCS Data	HDLC CRC-CCIT x16 +x12 +x5 +1 Initial all high
Function	Remote port for the monitor S-BUS. It forms a S-BUS data link, different from REMOTE
	1, and carries out communication between the primary and secondary stations for the
	monitor system (you cannot use this connector for the standard S-BUS). The data link

consists of switchers, remote control units, display units, etc.

To control the monitor S-BUS, the optional monitor board BKDS-V3292B is required.

1-2-2. S-BUS control

The S-BUS control is a remote control system. It has a simple connection structure and provides highly efficient communication. Multiple routing switchers and remote control units are connected to a single bus line to form a control network called the S-BUS data link. The units on this S-BUS data link communicate with each other using the S-BUS protocol, select the necessary data from the control data transmitted through the data link, and operate according to the data.

The routing switchers on the S-BUS data link are designated to a primary station which controls the whole system (only one unit is set as this) and secondary stations. The primary station receives the instructions from the secondary stations and makes adjustments for smooth communication. It also constantly monitors the system and detects communication errors and problems. In addition to adjusting and controlling communication, the primary station also switch crosspoints as another switcher does. The S-BUS line is connected via the REMOTE 1 connector. Up to one line can be connected for BKPF300/301/350/351, two lines for DVS-V1616, three lines for DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232, and four lines for other switchers. Always terminate unused connectors with 75 Z.

Features of S-BUS control system

The main features of the S-BUS control are as follows.

. LAN type control signal communication using one 75 Zcoaxial cable (S-BUS line).

. The coaxial cable can be extended to 500 m. (BELDEN 8281 cable or equivalent)

. The primary station can control up to 254 units (including the primary station)*1 of routing switchers and remote control units using multiple S-BUS lines.

.Up to 128 units of routing switchers and remote control units can be connected to one S-BUS line. Without stopping the system, the switchers and remote control units can be connected to the S-BUS line or removed from it.

.The self-diagnosis results of the system can be monitored with the control terminal connected to the primary station.

Basic configuration of S-BUS control

S-BUS control is configured as follows.

Name	Equipment	Quantity	Function
Primary station	Routing switcher (M)*2	1	Communication control in data link.
Secondary station	Remote control unit and routing	253 max.	Use data link in the time specified
	switcher (S)*3		from the primary station.
Control terminal	Personal computer with terminal	1	Setting needed for system configuration
software			and displaying the status.

*1 : When one of the BKPF-300 series is set in a primary station, it can control up to 30 units (including the primary station).

*2 : It means a switcher which is set the M/S switch on CPU board to “M” position. In the case of BKPF-R70, the switch is set to “P” position.

*3 : It means a switcher which is set the M/S switch on CPU board to “S” position.

1-2-3. 9-pin remote control

The Sony digital routing switcher can be controlled from external control units connected to the REMOTE 2 (D-sub 9-pin) using RS-422A. For DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232, the functions performed by 9-pin remote control, can especially be upgraded to a great extent. The following three kinds of 9-pin remote protocols can be used.

. Sony production switcher protocol

. Sony audio mixer protocol

. Sony cart protocol

n

The protocol that can be used depends on the models (refer to Section 1-2-1). BKPF-R70 is controlled by Sony cart protocol only.

The DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232 can be switched between the “direct mode” in which they are controlled directly and to the “S-BUS conversion mode” in which cart protocol commands are converted to the S-BUS protocols.

In the direct mode, the switchers can be controlled individually. In the S-BUS conversion mode, up to 254 switchers on the S-BUS line (including the primary station) can be controlled.

For DVS-V3232B/V6464B/V1616/A3232 and HDS-V3232, the S-BUS and 9-pin remote control lines are connected to REMOTE 1 and 2 respectively and can be switched freely. Other switchers can be connected to either control line.

m

1.In the direct mode, the protect and secret functions set on the S-BUS protocol are not avail able.

2.In the S-BUS conversion mode, the “UA2” data specified by the cart protocol will be converted to the level values on S-BUS protocol.

In this mode, the protect and secret functions set on S-BUS protocol are available. (However, these functions cannot be set on the 9-pin remote control and the contents of the setting cannot be checked, either.)

3.The number of input/output signals that can be controlled on each protocol is as follows.

Protocol		Control Area
Cart Protocol*1	Cart	1-16
	Cart plus	1-256
Audio mixer protocol		1-128
Production Switcher Protocol		1-127

4.When several DVS-V6464Bs are connected in a cascade and the input bus number is in creased, if controlled by the 9-pin remote, there is the case no signal is output.

To avoid such case, use the S-BUS conversion mode.

*1 : There are two kinds of cart protocol due to the control area.

Unless otherwise noted, “cart protocol” in this manual mean the cart plus protocol.

REMOTE 3 connector of BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232 is D-sub 9-pin connector.

When BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is set to the primary station, connect the control terminal to the unit by using the RS-232C cross cable.

The control terminal is not able to connect to the system which primary station is set to BKPF-300 series.

1-2-5. Control of monitor S-BUS system

DVS-V3232B/V6464B is able to monitor all the input and output signals when the optional monitor board BKDS-V3292B is installed, whose CPU is used exclusively for monitoring. It forms a monitor S- BUS data link via the REMOTE4 connector.

In this manual, the monitor control line is called “monitor S-BUS” to distinguish it from the control line of the main S-BUS using for changing crosspoints. The main S-BUS is called “standard S-BUS” or simply “S-BUS”. Excluding the system control, the monitor S-BUS has exactly the same protocol and communication format as that of the standard S-BUS.

The input monitor and output monitor can be either used separately or combined. They can be also connected in cascade. As the crosspoint control of the monitor is performed separately from the standard S-BUS control system, a primary station for the monitor S-BUS must be designated in addition to that set for the standard S-BUS.

The configuration of the monitor S-BUS is set with the control terminal connected to the primary station on the standard S-BUS.

3)Up to 8 levels can be assigned.

4)Up to 254 units can be controlled in a system.

5)Each output signal can be protected so that they will not be switched by other control units. (Protect function)

6)Each input signal can be prohibited to be selected from all the control units. (Secret function) * 7) The inputs that can be selected for each output can be limited. (Crosspoint disable setting

function)

*8) Password function

*9) The either name of “Type +Number” or “Description” can be set for input/output connectors.

*10) A crosspoint matrix can be mapped on a virtual matrix. (Virtual mapping function)

*11) To each connector name, a different connector number can be assigned on each level.

(Free assignment function)

*12) Input and output signals can be monitored using the optional monitor board BKDS-V3292B. (Monitoring function)

16)When DVS-7000 is connected to the destination of DVS-V3232B/V6464B, the source name of the routing switcher is indicated on the DVS-7000. (Route function)

17)BKS-R1607 and BKS-R3210 can restrict the crosspoint block of selection for each remote control unit.

*: DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232 only (BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232 has no monitor function described “12”).

DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232 outstanding offers new functions as a primary station. To get the best out of the system, we recommend that DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is used as a primary station.

BKPF-R70 switches the crosspoint at a highest speed in the four switchers by mounted RISC CPU.

The following outlines each function. (For details of how to set them, refer to the Section 5 “System Settings”.)

2-2. Built-in Controller

The Sony digital routing switcher incorporates a system controller and therefore does not require a separate external controller. When several routing switchers are connected to the S-BUS, the CPU of the switcher set as the primary station will control the whole system.

2-3. Matrix Sizes

By the cascade connection, input and output signals can be expanded to form a large-scale of router system.

Maximum matrix sizes depend on the kind of switchers.

. DVS-V6464B : 512 inputs x512 outputs

. DVS-A3232 : 256 inputs x256 outputs

. DVS-TC3232 : 256 inputs x256 outputs

. DVS-RS1616 : 128 inputs x128 outputs (at 16 mode) 256 inputs x256 outputs (at 32 mode)

. BKPF-300/350 : 112 inputs x2 outputs

. BKPF-301/351 : 32 inputs x2 outputs (BKPF-301), 1 output (BKPF-351)

n

DVS-V1616/V3232B, HDS-V3232 and BVS-V3232/A3232 are not able to connect by the cascade.

2-4. Number of Levels

The router system has the capability to control the different types of signal at the same time. This is enabled by the level setting.

The router system can handle the signals such as video, audio, timecode and the RS-422A remote control signal. These signals are switched by their exclusive switchers. The signals that perform switching are allocated in the different layers. These layers are called levels.

In the router system, the different numbers are given to the input and output signals of the respective layers that enable switching of various signals at the different levels simultaneously.

Example: Video can be set to level 1, audio to level 2, etc.

Up to eight levels can be set for one system.

The levels are set in the menu item [E : SET LEVEL TABLE].

2-5. Number of Units

Up to 128 remote control units and switchers can be connected to one S-BUS line. It is possible to control up to 254 units (including the primary station) in total of all lines.

2-6. Protect Function

Function which protects the crosspoint set so that it cannot be released using other remote control units. While the protect function is on, the destination of the crosspoint to be protected will be fixed. Once the protect is set, it will not be released by any command, except those from the control terminal and the control unit used to set it. The protect function can be set and released freely from the control terminal connected to the primary station.

The control terminal also has a password function which allows only certain users to operate the system. The protect function can be set in the menu item [C: SET DESTINATION NAME].

2-7. Secret Function

Function which “hides” certain sources from all control units to protect the crosspoint set so that it cannot be switched.

Unlike the protect function that limits the destinations, the secret function limits the sources to protect them from being selected by other control units.

The secret function can be set in the menu item [D: SET SOURCE NAME].

2-8. Crosspoint Disable Setting Function (DVS-V3232B/V6464B,

BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

Function that limits the sources that can be selected for each destination. It can also be used to fix the area of crosspoints selected so that only certain sources can be selected for certain destinations. This function can be only used when a DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is assigned as the primary station.

This function can be set in the menu item [M: SET INHIBIT TABLE].

2-9. Password Function

(DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

The control terminal can set all configuration items of the routing switcher system. It therefore has a password function which allows only certain users to operate it. The password can be set in the menu item [P: CHANGE PASSWORD].

2-10. Setting the Input/Output Name

(DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

The following names can be used for the input/output connectors of the routing switcher.

1.“Type+Number” name

2.”Description“ name

There are altogether three kinds of numbers that can be set as input/output numbers. These are “physical number”, “connector number”, and “virtual number”.

The physical number and connector number are the number of connectors attached to the switcher. For a DVS-V6464B, it is 1 to 64. For a DVS-V3232B, it is 1 to 32. The difference between the physical number and connector number is that the connector number is used for each switcher frame, while the physical number is used for one router system that is either single frame or multiple cascading frames. Usually the physical number is used for the S-BUS control system, while the connector number is used for the RS-422A (9-pin remote) control system.

The virtual number is the numbers assigned when switchers are mapped on a virtual matrix with 512 inputs and 512 outputs. The numbers will not duplicate even if several switchers are mapped on the virtual matrix. Unless otherwise noted, the input/output number in this manual means the virtual number.

Examples: CAM 234, VTR 145

The name “Description” consists of any 16 characters and is assigned to the virtual number, e.g. “Tokyo” and “Market”. Up to 1024 kinds of names can be registered. The 160 kinds of them are transmitted to the remote control unit in order to set buttons and for displaying. The 160 names can be registered as one group. Data of 8 groups can be registered at the primary station. The data of remote control unit can be replaced by a group and the different data groups can be used for each remote control unit

2-11. Virtual Mapping Function

(DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

Several routing switchers can be mapped on a virtual matrix with 512 inputs and 512 outputs in router system. The matrix of one switcher can be also divided into several virtual levels and mapped.

For example, a switcher handling the 4:2:2 video signal and a switcher handling the 4 fsc video signal can be mapped on the same level. By connecting them using a 4:2:2/4 fsc converter, the tie line control can be performed (refer to Section 2-14).

DVS-A3232 has two modes such as 2-channel mode and 4-channel mode. Normally, either one will be selected. However it is possible to use the overlapping area as the 4-channel mode by dividing the matrix into two in the 2-channel mode and assigning them to the different virtual levels.

In the figure below, the 12 x12 area where the level 2 and level 3 is overlapping is set to the 4 -channel mode while the other is set to the 2-channel mode in the 20 x20 area.

It is called “Virtual mapping” that you assign crosspoints using the virtual matrices and virtual levels in this way.

This virtual mapping function can be set in the menu item [L: SET PHYSICAL ASSIGNMENT] when a DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is used as the primary station.

When the matrix of a DVS-V3232B/V6464B is divided into two or more matrices on multiple virtual levels, the monitor function for input/output signals may not work correctly.

While the same input/output number can be assigned, through levels 1 to 8, for each input/output name, different physical number can also be assigned on each level for an input/output name.

The following figure shows the case that DVS-V6464B is used for level 1 and DVS-A3232 for levels 2 and 3. To source IN002, physical number 5 can be assigned on level 1, physical number 2 on level 2, and physical number 18 on level 3.

Similarly, to destination OUT004, physical number 32 can be assigned on level 1, physical number 32 on level 2, and physical number 4 on level 3.

2-13. Monitor Function (BKDS-V3292B only)

If a DVS-V3232B/V6464B is equipped with the optional BKDS-V3292B, any input/output signal can be monitored. The input and output signals can be observed on different monitors or on the same monitor by switching channels.

By connecting the monitor signals of several switchers in cascade form, all input and output signals can be observed on one monitor.

The crosspoints of monitor signals are controlled by the monitor S-BUS (the control line similar to the standard S-BUS although it controls only the monitor system).

The primary station on the monitor S-BUS is independent from the primary station on the standard S-BUS. Therefore, several monitor S-BUS can be set to one system.

For example, switchers (P-2) and (P-3) in the figure on next page serve as the primary station on the monitor S-BUS independently, while the switcher (P-1) serves as the primary station on the standard S- BUS and monitor S-BUS.

1.For DVS-V3232B/V6464B routing system, the primary station on the standard S-BUS and monitor S- BUS should be the same.

However, for the monitor S-BUS which does not include the primary station on the standard S-BUS, any switcher can be assigned the primary station.

2.BKS-R1601/R3203/R3206 cannot be used as a secondary station on the monitor S-BUS.

(DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

If the primary station is a DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232, by previously setting four signal paths between routing switchers, unused signal paths can be selected automatically and protected when input and output names are selected. This function is called tie line management. It is effective to share the minimum number of converters (4:2:2:/4 fsc, 4 fsc/4:2:2, etc.).

For example, if both a 4:2:2 video switcher and a 4 fsc video switcher have 32 sources and destinations, the converters can be shared using the tie line function and all sources and destinations can be handled with the minimum number of converters.
