If the audio mapping mirrors the video mapping, then, when a video switch is made
(e.g. from Video
1 to Video 2), the corresponding audio will follow (i.e. the same
command will switch a crosspoint in both the physical video router and the physical
audio router).
At this point, you have completed the definition of an external router.
Configuring a Router Controller
There are two categories of router controllers that can be used to control the routers
connected to (controlled by) a multiviewer:
• Simple router controllers, such as the Nevion (Network Electronics) VikinX Compact, or
devices that support the Snell (Pro-Bel) SW-P-02 protocol.
• Intelligent router controllers that support the Snell (Pro-Bel) SW-P-08 protocol.
Adding a Simple Router Controller
A VikinX Compact router controller, on any control panel that supports the Snell (Pro-Bel)
SW-P-02 protocol, can issue switching commands to a specific router connected to
(controlled by) the multiviewer, which will act as a protocol translator.
Note: Miranda’s Router Control Software includes applications for
controlling routers (single bus and matrix) where you can operate in all
follow mode (change all levels), or in breakaway mode.
a
When you make a
crosspoint change in a logical router, you can change all of the logical levels,
or just specific ones. When controlling the monitor wall, only the “all
follow” mode is supported. If you need to set up breakaway switches, you
must use other software—e.g. Miranda’s Router Control Software—, or a
router controller—e.g. a device that supports the Snell (Pro-Bel) SW-P-08
protocol.
a.The all follow mode is more typically used. An example of a breakaway would be
switching Video 4 with Audio 5 instead of Audio 4 because Audio 5 is in another
language.
