RSII Routing Switcher System
SECTION 3. OPERATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This section explains in detail the operation of the RSII using either the De-
tachable Front Panel Controller, the RS232/RS422 serial ports, or the Ethernet I/O
port.
3.2 CONNECTIONS
Connect audio and video sources and destinations as described in section 2.
There is no requirement that all inputs or outputs be used or terminated, but be
sure that all outputs which are used are properly terminated.
Outputs should not be looped back to unused inputs.
3.3 CONTROL VIA THE REMOTEABLE FRONT PANEL CONTROLLER
The optional detachable Remotable Front Panel Controller (RFPC) displays
information about the condition of the RSII crosspoints and the settings of the
optional volume, tone and balance (VTB)for each output. The display consists of
an LCD with a rotary switch to select and the output number and to adjust VTB
parameters. In addition, an array of 32 switches allows for the selection of
crosspoints and storage/recall of stored crosspoint patterns.
3.3.1 DISPLAYING THE CROSSPOINT CONNECTIONS AND VTB VALUES
In idle mode, line 1 of the RFPC display shows an output number (always
Zone 1 at powerup), a Video input number, and an Audio input number. Line 2
shows the current VTB settings for that output number: Volume, Bass, Treble, and
Balance. To stop the crawling motion push the Cancel button or turn the rotary
(the display will resume crawling after a few seconds). To view the crosspoint and
VTB data for another output, turn the rotary untilthe desired output number shows
on line 1 of the display.
3.3.2 CHANGING A CROSSPOINT CONNECTION
You can make crosspoint changes with the 16 input buttons and 16 output
buttons on the right. You may start with an input number or with an output
number, then push the connection you want to make. Changes may be made to
the videocrosspoint, the audio crosspoint, or both.
Two indicators under the
display show whether Video, Audio, or both will be affected. To change this
selection, before starting a crosspoint change, push the Select button one or more
times until the correct combination of lights is shown.
When making a crosspoint change, pushing one of the 16 input or output
buttons will cause the Armed LED to light indicating a change is pending. Make
the desired output or input connection, or push Cancel to start over. If no
crosspoint selection is made, the Armed light will go off after five seconds.
3.3.3 USING THE MUTE BUTTON
The Mute button under the display can be used to Mute any output. Turn
the Rotary until the output you wish to Mute shows on the display. Then push
the Mute button; you will be prompted to verify the output number and push
Mute again, or push cancel.
3.3.4 ADJUSTING VTB WITH THE ROTARY SWITCH
The VTB parameters of any output may be changed from the front panel.
Turn the rotary until the display is showing the output you wish to make changes
to, then click the rotary (push the knob in, then release it) until the desired param-
eter is displayed on the LCD.
