Vertical Interval Switching

When the switching between inputs, the resulting image change should be seamless and clean. Vertical interval switching makes this seamless image change possible. MSG switchers are able to provide vertical interval switching by using an external sync (genlock) signal to synchronize switching during the vertical sync interval. Without external sync locking, switching between inputs can result in a brief rolling (sync loss) or a brief change in the picture size. If no external sync timing source is connected to the switcher, switching occurs immediately.

Connecting the external sync signal

The Genlock In connector of the MSG switcher receives the external sync timing signal. The Genlock Out connector allows the signal to be passed on to another video device, if required.

To enable vertical interval switching, connect an external sync signal (from an

Extron BBG6A Blackburst Generator or other source) to the Genlock In BNC connector (

3

) for genlocking the video signal in broadcast or other sync-critical applications. Connect any downstream equipment that requires genlocking to the

Genlock Out BNC connector to route the external sync signal through the switcher.

All serial commands are applicable to both the MSG0804 and MSG0808, except where the number of outputs differs between the two switchers. The

MSG Matrix Switchers accept serial control protocol commands through the

RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 port. These commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They require a beginning delimiter ([) and an ending delimiter (]).

Addressing commands

In RS-232 mode, there is no need to assign an address to the switcher, however, if you are using RS-422 or RS-485 mode with several devices connected in parallel to a single serial port, you will need to assign an address for each unit.

The factory default for the MSG Matrix Switchers is no address. You must assign an address between 01 and 98. In addition, 00 is a broadcast address, and all connected units will perform the action commanded (no responses will be sent).

Using the command table

The command table is shown on the following pages. Lower case characters are acceptable in the command field only where indicated. Command and response examples are shown throughout the command table.

Switching levels consist of combinations of video (RGB), sync (HV), and audio boards. The three predefined switching levels include:

• Level 1 = RGBHV and audio

• Level 2 = RGBHV (no audio)

• Level 3 = Audio only (no video or sync)

For commands that use these switching levels, refer to the Switching Commands chart below.

Remote Control from a Network

You can control the MSG0804 or MSG0808 matrix switchers from a remote location across a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), or even over the

Internet.

This remote network control is available in a client-server environment, where the

PC attached to the switcher is called the server, and the PC that needs to control the device from another location is called the client.

Enabling remote control of the switcher over a network

Both the user operating the client (remote PC) and the user operating the server

(local PC) must install the ICS100 Control Software program onto their respective

PCs. See chapter 4, Windows-based Control Program, for information on installing the software.

Each user—the one operating the server and the one operating the client—must follow these instructions:

Configuring the server (local) PC

1.

Attach the switcher to the server PC with a serial cable from the PC’s serial port to the switcher’s serial port. For information on wiring the cable, see

Remote Control Port (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485) earlier in this chapter.

2.

Click the Windows Start button, then select Programs, then ICS100, then

Serial Server. The Inline Server Software (the “server”) launches and the

Serial Port Server window opens.

5-8

Tel. 07131 911201



Figure 5-1 — ICS100 Serial Port Server window

3.

Make sure the Local IP, Port, Client IP, and Connection Status information is correct (you may need to check with your Network Administrator or IT group for this information). If the client PC is connected to the server, a Client IP address will be displayed and the Connection Status will show green (red if not connected).

4.

The Inline Serial Server waits for the client PC on TCP/IP port 2001 (the factory default). If that port is already in use, you may change the number of the port (open the ICS100 Control Software Help file for instructions).

5.

When the server has been connected and configured correctly, the client can be configured to connect to the server (check with your Network

Administrator to secure log-on rights to the server).

Instructions for configuring the client (remote) PC:

1.

Install the ICS100 Control Software program. See chapter 4, Windows-based

Control Program, for information on installing the software.

2.

Click the Windows Start button, then select Programs, then ICS100. The

ICS100 (the “client”) launches.

3.

Open a connection to the server as follows: a.

In the ICS100 Control Software, click on the Communications tab, then select Network from the drop-down menu. The Server Connection window opens.

www.camboard.de

Remote Control

Adjusting response time

The user operating the client PC may want to adjust the time out interval. The time out interval is the number of seconds that the client waits before communicating with the server.

Adjusting the response time

1.

From the Communications menu, select Response Time Out.

2.

Select the appropriate time out interval for your network (4-12 seconds). Note:

Selecting a longer interval will not slow down client-server communication.

Stopping communication

The connection between the client PC and the server PC may be closed at any time from either PC.

Stopping communications from the server PC

In the Inline Server Software, from the Server menu, select Close Connection.

Stopping communications from the client PC

In the ICS100, from the Communications menu, select Close Connection.
