1-2. Functions of the Routing Switcher

System

The routing switcher system has the following functions.
For details, refer to the System Setup Manual correspond-
ing to each routing switcher.

.....

Secret function

This is the function that hides certain input channels
from all remote control panels to protect the cross-point
so that it cannot be switched.

.....

Protect function

This is the function that protects the cross-point set so
that it cannot be released from other remote control
panels.

.....

Cross-point input system limit function

Function that limits the input channels can be selected
for each output channels. It can also be used to fix the
area of cross-points selected so that only certain input
channels can be selected for certain output channels.

.....

Password function

It is possible to setup password so only authorized
person can perform the setup operation from the terminal
menu.

.....

Naming function

In the routing switcher system, names are given to all of
the input and output terminals and are controlled in order
to improve operating efficiency.
It is possible to setup multiple names to describe the
terminals, such as “Type + Number” name and “Descrip-
tion” name, or “Alias” name.

.....

Virtual mapping function

Several routing switchers can be mapped on a virtual
matrix with 1024 inputs and 1024 outputs in router
system. The matrix of one switcher can be also divided
into several virtual levels and mapped.

.....

Free assignment function

The same terminal number can be assigned, for each
terminal name, through levels 1 to 8. The different
physical number can also be assigned on each level.

.....

Tie line function

Tie line is used to effectively share the minimum number
of signal converters (SDTV to HDTV, HDTV to SDTV)
by the multiple input terminals and output terminals.

.....

Phantom function

Several cross-points can be switched simultaneously
with just one push of a button of the remote control
panel.

.....

Self-diagnosis function

Presence or absence of input/output signals and occur-
rence of error can be sent to a PC that is connected to the
primary station and display them.

.....

Others function

When the optional Subnet Interface (BZR-IF810) and
the optional System Setup Software (BZR-2000) are
used, a maximum of 60,000 devices can be controlled
by a single routing switcher system.

IXS-6600/IXS-6700 and HDS-X5800 has the built-in
system controller (primary station function). There-
fore, there is no need to prepare a controller to control
the routing switcher system.

HDS-X5800 can increase the number of inputs by
cascade connection, and the number of outputs by the
signal distributor up to 1024 channels each.

The IXS-6600/IXS-6700, HKSP-R80 and HDS-X5800 do
not have the control function of the monitoring S-BUS
system.
