288 JUPITER CM-4400 Control Module Installation and Operating Manual
Appendix B — Connecting Legacy and 3rd Party Routers
In order for a Triton analog video router to switch on Vertical Interval as set
in the Switcher Description Table, rear-panel DIP 7 must be DOWN and a
sync reference signal must be connected to Input No. 1. The reference signal
must be composite video, 1 Vpp, 300 mV sync, 75 ohms. For more informa-
tion, refer to the Triton manual.
Figure 219. Cables for Connecting CM-4400 to Triton RS-232 Port
Software Configuration
The CM-4400 connected to the Triton router must be configured using the
Network Description table (page 149) and Serial Protocol table (page 152).
Triton configuration is similar to that
for other routers, beginning with the
Switcher Description table (page 156). From that point, switcher inputs,
outputs, a CP Level Set, and CP input/O
utput Sets must be defined.
SMS 7000 CONNECTIONS
The CM-4400 can be connected to a Grass Valley SMS 7000 Signal Manage-
ment System and router (Figure 220). The protocol setting is:
38400 baud, 8
data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
The serial cable on the back of the
SMS 7000 controller frame may be
labeled RS-232, but it can and should function as RS-422 if configured in
software. The CM-4400 is connected to one of the DB25 or DB9 ports on the
back of the SMS 7000 controller frame. Refer to the manual supplied with
the SMS 7000 for instructions on setting the port up for RS-422 and setting
the serial parameters.
