Chapter 23  Setup Relating to Router Interface and Tally (Router/Tally)

Router Interface Settings (Router Menu)
Router Interface Settings (Router Menu)
In this system, the interface with a router (routing switcher) uses the S-Bus 
protocol. It is therefore necessary to assign inputs and outputs of the switcher 
and so on to an S-Bus space.
To carry out this assignment, use the Router/Tally >Router menu. The 
assignment is common to the parallel and serial tallies.
To display the Router menu
In the Engineering Setup menu, select VF6 ‘Router/Tally’ and HF1 ‘Router.’
The status area shows the device names to be assigned to the S-Bus space, the 
matrix size, source address, destination address, and level.
The following functions are available here.
• Matrix Size: Assign the switcher matrix of each switcher processor to S-Bus 
space, and select the matrix size and positioning level, source address 
settings, and so on.
• External Box: To obtain the signal selection status of external devices with 
a parallel input, assign a matrix as an external selector in the S-Bus space. 
Make the matrix size, assignment level, source address, and other settings.
• Alias Name Gp: Set the group number for an S-Bus description name to be 
displayed in the source name displays for a cross-point operation.
Assigning Switcher Inputs and Outputs to S-Bus Space
1
In the <Device> group of the Router/Tally >Router menu, select the device 
to which the settings apply.
SWR1: Settings apply to switcher 1.
SWR2: Settings apply to switcher 2.
Notes
When there are two switchers on the same network, the SWR2 (second 
switcher) settings are required. If there is only one switcher, the settings 
are not required.
2
In the <Matrix Size> group, select the matrix size.
Standard (136 × 138): Assign the switcher S-Bus space at full size. You 
can assign all switcher inputs and outputs to the S-Bus space, but this 
causes some waste of S-Bus space.
