Breakout Module Connection
Connect the automation serial port to the connector labeled RS232/422-B on the
IconMaster breakout module.
• This port can be configured for either RS-232 or RS-422 connections.
• Ensure both jumper J18 of the MKE-3901 board and the jumper pack A1 on
the breakout module are both set to match the appropriate serial
communication standard (normally RS-422 for a D-MAS system using
McCurdy SER-4, SER-8 or SER-12 card via a CON-8 or MUX8/800).
Switcher Configuration in swr.tbl
An IconMaster switcher requires the following settings in the swr.tbl
specification table.
Level Mappings for IconMaster
The automation main audio and video levels are always mapped to the audio
and video levels of the IconMaster. The mapping of D-MAS subevent fields and
switching levels to the keyers, audio mixer and DVE engine of the IconMaster
is controlled by the Switcher Level n fields in swr.tbl.
If a Switcher Level n field is left blank, the corresponding facility of the
IconMaster is not associated with an automation switching level and is not used.
