Remote Control via RU-3000 Crosspoint switching and other operations can be performed by remote control by connecting a RU-3000 remote control unit to the serial interface (I/F) of the VSF-600. A connection example is shown in the figure below.

VSF/TG Linkage Normally, when a title is inserted to a camera video, title generators (TG-1616) corresponding to the number of cameras are required. However, the VSF/TG linkage function can be used to reduce the number of TG-1616 units. The TG-1616 and VSF-600 can be connected with a dedicated serial bus to enable title page switching by the TG-1616 in coordination with switching of crosspoints by the routing switcher. The three block diagrams and a table below are showing differences when the VSF/TG linkage function is used and not used. (Select the VSF/TG linkage function based on the system.) 1) System without VSF/TG linkage (96 cameras x 32 monitors) 2) VSF/TG linkage system (96 cameras x 32 monitors) 3) Comparison table of 1) and 2) 4) VSF/TG linkage system (maximum inputs and outputs) 1) System without VSF/TG linkage (96 cameras×32 monitors, when using VSF-9632) 1 1 16 TG-1616 Cameras 1 to 96 TG-1616 TG-1616 TG-1616 TG-1616 48 The TG-1616 is placed before the routing switcher.

If the number of outputs is 16, the system can be configured with one TG-1616 unit. The TG-1616 is linked to crosspoint switching of the routing switcher. (The TG-1616 superimposes the title of the camera selected by the routing switcher.) Terminator 3) Comparison table of 1) and 2) System Required number of TG-1616 units Title switching time 1) No VSF/TG linkage 2) VSF/TG linkage 6 1 Single crosspoint Instant (Same as video) Multiple crosspoints Instant (Same as video) Approx. 0.3 sec (Superimpose is OFF during this time) Max. 3 sec (Superimpose is OFF during this time) Notes on VSF/TG linkage operation To enable the linkage function with the TG-1616, internal parameter settings need to be changed. For details, see section 6-2-3. "Linkage Function Setting with TG-1616.” When changing the channels, the title superimpose is turned off, and then the superimpose turns on again after the title is changed. (It takes about 0.3 seconds to change the title for one channel, and it can take up to about 3 seconds to change the title for all channels at once.) The routing switcher is not suitable for applications where crosspoints are continually switched. If using automatic switching functions such as the sequence switching function of the routing switcher or if executing crosspoint switching commands continuously, be sure to set intervals of at least 1 second between switching. Also, set an interval of at least 5 seconds when switching multiple crosspoints at the same time. If the crosspoint switching interval is shorter than the title changing process time for the TG-1616, problems can occur such as slow menu operation/display in the TG-1616 or title display that is too slow to be in sync with the video. 29 4) VSF/TG linkage system (maximum inputs and outputs) RU-3000 1 Term REMOTE1 SERIAL I/F A REMOTE2 SERIAL I/F B 16 17 1 Cameras 1 to 128 32 33 33 49 TG-1616 SERIAL I/F ID:2 Terminal: OFF 48 49 64 TG-1616 SERIAL I/F ID:3 Terminal: OFF 64 65 65 80 81 96 97 112 113 128 17 TG-1616 SERIAL I/F ID:1 Terminal: OFF 32 48 Routing switcher VSF-128128 1 TG-1616 SERIAL I/F ID:0 Terminal: OFF 16 128 TG-1616 SERIAL I/F ID:4 Terminal: OFF 80 81 TG-1616 SERIAL I/F ID:5 Terminal: OFF 96 97 TG-1616 SERIAL I/F ID:6 Terminal: OFF 112 113 TG-1616 SERIAL I/F ID:7 Terminal: ON 128 The maximum total cable length from the VSF-128128 to the final stage of TG-1616 is 100 m. Usually, the VSF/TG linkage function is used for the system in which there are more inputs than outputs. If the numbers of inputs and outputs are the same, connecting the TG-1616 before or after the VSF does not make any difference to the number of TG-1616, but in a system like that shown in the figure above, the number of outputs can be gradually expanded from 16 and support up to 128 outputs is possible. 30 Monitor 1 Monitor 16 Monitor 17 Monitor 32 Monitor 33 Monitor 48 Monitor 49 Monitor 64 Monitor 65 Monitor 80 Monitor 81 Monitor 96 Monitor 97 Monitor 112 Monitor 113 Monitor 128 8.

Control by RS Commands Besides the “VS commands” for controlling normal crosspoint switching over a serial interface as described in section 8-7, “Control Commands,” a function is provided that enables replies to “RS commands”, which have a different format and enable various controls. RS commands enable usage of the functions shown in the table below. For the RS-232C/RS-422 specifications, settings, and connections, the settings are identical to those in section 8, “Serial Control.” The same commands are used if performing control with the RS-422. Operation description RS command Refer to section Salvo function Recall and simultaneous switching of multiple registered crosspoints SCT, ST, SC, SS, SE, SR 9-2 Sequence switching function Automatic switching of a single crosspoint at a selected time AQS, AQG, AQE, AQR 9-3 Recall and simultaneous automatic Auto salvo switching switching of multiple registered function crosspoints at a selected time ASS, ASG, ASC, ASR 9-4 Chop switching function Alternate switching between two input channels CHS, CHG, CHE, CHR 9-5 Alarm switching function Automatic switching to a selected input channel when input signal is disconnected ALS, ALR, 9-6 Crosspoint inhibit function Prohibits crosspoint selection MI, MRI 9-7 Destination lock function Prohibits switching of output channels from other terminals DS, DR 9-8 Logic channel assign function Enables user-selected assignments of input and output channels MS, MD, MRD, MS, MRS 9-9 Time function Time setting for internal clock TS, TR 9-10 Function name 45 9-1. RS Command Format This section presents the format of RS commands. A crosspoint switching command is shown in the example below. When input is made to a serial control device using the commands in the box, the VSF-600 returns a reply of either completed normally or abnormally. Command CD Dest (3) Src (4) 1 CR+LF Response OK CR+LF (Ends normally) ER CR+LF (Ends abnormally) CD Dest(3) Src(4) 1 CR+LF This is the command issued from a serial command device. It is sent as ASCII code. The line break character CR (0D)+LF (0A) should be always added at the end of the command. Dest(3) Src(4) This indicates that this parameter is sent using the number of bytes in parentheses. Dest is used to set the channel number of the destination channel (output channel). To select channel 1, “001” is set so that it becomes 3 bytes. Src is used to set the channel number of the source channel (input channel). To select channel 1, “0001” is set so that it becomes 4 bytes. The maximum value of the channel numbers for the destination channel and source channel is 128. 1 This indicates the level. IMPORTANT In the VSF-600, the level is fixed at 1. Be sure to always enter 1. After the command is sent, a reply message is received. If this command was executed normally, a reply of “OK” is sent, and if the command was not executed properly due to some cause, a reply of “ER” is sent. The line break characters CR (0D)+LF (0A) are also added at the end of these reply messages. 46 A command character string that is actually sent from a serial control device in ASCII code is shown below. In this example, when Dest (destination channel) is set to 1 and Scr (source channel) is set to 1, the command below is sent. (ASCII) C D 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 CR LF 43 40 30 30 31 30 30 30 31 31 0D 0A Dest Command code Src Level If the VSF-600 completes the process normally, the VSF-600 sends the reply below. O K CR LF (ASCII) 4F 4B 0D 0A If the process ends abnormally, the VSF-600 sends the reply below. (ASCII) E R CR LF 45 52 0D 0A The meanings of the abbreviations used in the command descriptions on the following pages are shown below. Max Unit: Max Dest: Max Src: Number of connection units Maximum number of available destination channels ( = 128 ) Maximum number of available source channels ( = 128 ) 47 9-2. Salvo Function The salvo function is used to switch multiple registered crosspoints simultaneously. In this function, the simultaneous switching settings are saved in memory, then, when the switching operation is executed, these settings are recalled and switch the multiple crosspoints simultaneously. This eliminates the need to record the same crosspoints repeatedly. Simultaneous switching using the salvo function is executed by the following procedure. (1) Clear the salvo preset table. (2) Record the crosspoint in the salvo preset table. Repeat this step as many times as necessary. (3) After the crosspoints are recorded, register the settings in the preset table to a salvo registration number. (4) Recall the salvo registration number to switch the multiple crosspoints simultaneously Clear the salvo preset table Record the crosspoint for simultaneous switchover in the preset table. Register to a salvo registration number Recall the salvo number to switch multiple crosspoints simultaneously. 48 Repeat as needed 9-2-1. Clearing the Salvo Preset Table This command deletes all recorded crosspoints from the salvo preset table. Issue this command before recording a new salvo preset table. Command SCT CR+LF Response OK CR+LF (Ends normally) ER CR+LF (Ends abnormally) 9-2-2. Recording the Salvo Crosspoints This command records the crosspoints to the salvo preset table. Command ST Dest (3) Src (4) 1 CR+LF Response OK CR+LF (Ends normally) ER CR+LF (Ends abnormally) Parameters: Item Dest Src Parameter 001 to Max. Dest 0000 0001 to Max. Src Description Destination channel When no input selected (video output OFF) Source channel 49 9-2-3. Clearing the Salvo Crosspoints This command deletes any recorded crosspoints from the salvo preset table. Command SC Dest (3) 1 CR+LF Response OK CR+LF (Ends normally) ER CR+LF (Ends abnormally) Parameters: Item Dest Parameter 001 to Max. Dest Description Destination channel Command example: The crosspoint for destination cannel 1 recorded in the salvo preset table is deleted. S C 0 0 1 1 CR LF (Command) Des O K CR LF (Reply) NOTE After performing the procedure in “9-2-4. Salvo Registration,” all crosspoints recorded in the salvo preset table are erased. 9-2-4. Salvo Registration This command stores crosspoints recorded in the salvo preset table to a specified salvo registration number. After registration is completed normally, all crosspoints recorded in the salvo preset table are cleared. Command SS Salvo No (2) CR+LF Response OK CR+LF (Ends normally) ER CR+LF (Ends abnormally) Parameters: Item Salvo No. Parameter 01 to 16 Description Salvo registration number 50 9-2-5. Salvo Calling This command performs simultaneous switching to the crosspoints stored to a salvo registration number. Command SE Salvo No (2) CR+LF Response OK CR+LF (Ends normally) ER CR+LF (Ends abnormally) Parameters: Item Salvo No. Parameter 01 to 16 Description Salvo registration number Operation is performed as follows when a destination lock (see “9-8. Destination Lock”) or crosspoint inhibit (see “9-7. Crosspoint Inhibit”) is set for the destination channel registered for salvo switching. If the serial control device (PC) itself that is currently being used is set to LOCK OTHER, the crosspoint switching is executed. A reply message of completed normally is returned. If LOCK OTHER is set by a remote control unit other than the serial control device that is currently being used, switching for the destination channels set to LOCK OTHER in the recalled salvo switching (simultaneous switching) operation will be separated and not be performed. A reply message of completed normally is returned. If LOCK ALL is set, switching for the destination channels set to LOCK ALL in the recalled salvo switching (simultaneous switching) operation will be separated and not be performed. A reply message of completed normally is returned. If crosspoint inhibit is set, switching for destination channels set to crosspoint inhibit in the recalled salvo switching (simultaneous switching) operation will be separated and not be performed. A reply message of completed normally is returned. 51 9-2-6. Checking the Salvo Registered Settings This checks the salvo registered crosspoints. Based on the set flag in the reply that is returned, it is possible to check if crosspoints are registered to a specific salvo registration number. A set flag of “0” is returned if a salvo is not registered or the salvo registration is empty. Command SR Salvo No (2) Dest (3) CR+LF Response SA Set Flag (1) Src (4) 1 CR+LF ER CR+LF Parameters: Item Salvo No. Dest Set Flag Src Parameter 01 to 16 001 to Max. Dest 0 1 0000 0001 to Max. Src (Ends normally) (Ends abnormally) Description Salvo registration number Destination channel Salvo registration status: Salvo not registered Salvo registration status: Salvo registered When no input selected (video output OFF) Source channel 52 9-3. Sequence Switching The sequence switching is used to perform switching output of multiple preselected source channels at a fixed, preselected switching time to a single preselected destination channel. For example, when destination channel 4, switching time 2.5 seconds, and source channels 2, 8, 2, 15, and 17 are registered in the sequence switching function, sending the sequence start command will output the source channels by switching 2→8→2→15→17→2→ and so on at 2.5-second intervals to destination channel 4. The sequence switching operation is stopped by the sequence stop command. After the sequence switching operation is stopped, the source channel that was output immediately before the stop command was received is then output to the preselected destination channel. 9-3-1. Sequence Switching Registration The target destination, switching time, and selected source channels are registered to a sequence registration number. The maximum sequence switching count that can be registered is 16. The switching time can be set in 0.5-second units up to 127.5 seconds. The number of available source channels for sequences is a maximum of 128 channels including duplication of the same source channels. The registered sequence switching operation is started when the sequence switching start command “AQG” is received. Command AQS SQ Num (2) Dest (3) Time(3) [ Src (4) × Max.128 Src ] CR+LF Response OK CR+LF (Ends normally) ER CR+LF (Ends abnormally) Contents: Item SQ Num Dest Parameter 01 – 16 001 – Max.

Src Description Sequence number Target destination channel 0.5-second units up to maximum of 127.5 seconds Automatically selected source channels (Channels can be duplicated) 53 9-3-2. Starting the Sequence Switching This designates the sequence registration number and starts sequence switching. Command AQG SQ Num (2) CR+ LF Response OK CR+LF (Ends normally) ER CR+LF (Ends abnormally) Contents Item SQ Num Parameter 01 – 16 Description Sequence number IMPORTANT When a crosspoint switching command is sent for a destination channel where sequence switching is already in progress, the sequence operation is stopped, and the crosspoint switching command is executed. When a sequence switching registration command (see 6.3.1) is sent for a destination channel where sequence switching is already in progress, the sequence switching operation is stopped. If the correspondence between the logical channels and physical channels of the destination and source are changed by the logical channel assignment function (See section 6-9.) while sequence switching is already in progress, the modified results are used in the sequence switching operation. To perform sequence switching with a minimum of image distortion, the input video must be synchronized with the external reference signal input to REF IN, and the same DC level must be used. Otherwise, image distortion may occur during switching, while switching may still be possible. 54 9-3-3.

Auto Salvo Switching In the auto salvo switching, a registered salvo is executed automatically by designating the date and time. 9-4-1. Auto Salvo Switching Registration This registers the salvo that is called at the designated time. Up to 16 switching operations can be registered. When registering a designated date and time, settings can also be made for every month, week, day, hour, and minute. Command ASS AS Num (2) Salvo Num (2) Month (2) Day (2) Week (2) Hour (2) Minute (2) CR+LF Response OK CR+LF (Ends normally) ER CR+LF (Ends abnormally) Contents Item AS Num SALVO Num Month Day Week Hour Minute Parameter 01 – 16 01 – 16 01 – 12, 99 01 – 31, 99 SU MO TU WE TH FR SA FF 00 – 23, 99 00 – 59, 99 Description Auto salvo registration number Salvo registration number Month designation or every month (99) Day designation or every day (99) Every Sunday Every Monday Every Tuesday Every Wednesday Every Thursday Every Friday Every Saturday No day of the week designated Hour designation or every hour (99) Minute designation or every minute (99) IMPORTANT Only one salvo can be registered for each date and time. If a certain day of every week is set, any day designation other than every day (99) is ignored, and the day of the week designation is given priority. If every day (99) is set, it is given priority over the day of the week designation. 56 9-4-2.

Chop Switching The chop switching is used to perform switching output of two preselected source channels back and force at a fixed, preselected switching time to a single preselected destination channel. This feature is designed to compare two different video images. For this reason, the selectable switching time is shorter than the sequence switching. 9-5-1. Chop Switching Registration The target destination, switching time, and two selected source channels are registered to a chop registration number. The maximum chop switching count that can be registered is 16. The switching time can be set in 1-frame units up to 255 frames (8.5 seconds). The registered chop switching operation is started when the chop switching start command is received.

Logical Channel Assignment When crosspoint switching or other control operations are performed by a remote control unit or serial control device (such as a computer) for a routing switcher, logical channel numbers are used for exchanging commands in the operations for destination and source channels. In the factory setting, the actual physical channel numbers and logical channel numbers of the routing switcher destination and source have a simple one-to-one correspondence as shown below. Physical channel 1 2 3 4 5 • • → → → → → → → Logical channel 1 2 3 4 5 • • This assignment of the logical channel numbers to the physical channel numbers can be changed using the logical channel assignment function. 66 9-9-1.
