Preparations

Notes on Installation

For installing the unit in a 19-inch rack

When installing in a 19-inch rack, use binding-head screws (+B5×10, 7-682-575-04).

For use in an OB van

When the unit is to be used in an OB van, be sure to bind the cables to a rack strut to avoid having the weight of cables add to vibration shock to the connector on the side panel during transport.

Setting Up the Unit

First, configure the network preferences using the buttons on the unit. For details about network preferences, refer to the Installation Manual.

You can enter the IP address specified for the unit in a web browser to display the web menu. Use the web menu to configure detailed settings.

Connections with System Controllers

A remote control panel can be connected in a single system connection or in a redundancy system connection. Several modes are supported for redundancy system connections.

Single system connection

A single system connection is the simplest connection type. Use LAN1.

Dual LAN redundancy system connection

A dual system redundancy structure uses both LAN1 and LAN2 of the remote control panel.

Operation will continue in the event of a single system switch failure.

Note

When using a dual LAN1 and LAN2 system connection, do not use IP addresses for the same segment.

Single LAN redundancy system connection

A single system redundancy structure uses only LAN1 of the remote control panel.

The wiring for LAN1 only is connected, but the panel connects to both system A and system B. This configuration

is useful if you want to reduce the LAN cable wiring or if there are no available ports on a switch. Use LAN1.

Key Label Indications

It is recommended to write the source, destination, or level name on labels (called key labels), and attach them to the source/destination selection buttons. Then you can see at a glance what functions you have assigned to each button.

About levels

A routing switcher system switches multiple signals for one destination using the level function. Different kinds of signals, such as 4K video, HD video, audio, etc. are assigned to different levels, and the type of signal to switch is controlled using levels.

Switching Multiple Crosspoints Simultaneously (Salvo)

You can switch multiple crosspoints by pressing a single selection button configured beforehand in the web menu.

This is called the salvo function.

The unit supports local salvo and snapshot salvo.

Local salvo

This salvo is managed by the remote control panel. It supports crosspoint switching that is unrelated to the control destination and switching using a destination offset local salvo. Up to 512 crosspoints can be set for a button.

Snapshot salvo

This salvo is managed by a system controller. It is used to perform salvo switching common to two or more remote panels.

Destination offset local salvo

A destination offset local salvo switches a destination calculated by adding an offset value to the control destination. For example, if the control destination is 0015 and the offset value is 2, the crosspoint for destination 0017 is switched.

The following usage is supported by a destination offset local salvo.

Example 1

To assign a source (audio source 0007, for example) of a level to multiple sources of another level (video sources 0001 and 0005, for example)

Source for each level Destination offset salvo setting
Salvo ID	Level 1 Level 2 Salvo name	Offset Source Level
0001	0001 0007 IN001 0 0001	10000000
		0 0007 01000000
0005	0005 0007 IN005 0 0005	10000000
		0 0007 01000000

Example 2

To set a pair of crosspoints (multiple audio channels, video key signal, for example)

Destination offset salvo setting
Salvo name Offset Source Level
IN001 0	0001	10000000
	1	0002	10000000
IN003 0	0003	10000000
	1	0004	10000000

Executing a salvo

1. Set the control destination as the base destination as described in "Switching the control destination" (page 17).

This is not required if the salvo does not include a destination offset local salvo.

2. Assign a salvo to a source in the web menu as described in "Salvo Table Page" (page 27).

3. Assign the source from step 2 to a selection button. When you press the selection button assigned with the salvo function, all the crosspoints configured in the salvo are switched.

Take Mode

The method for issuing a Take to switch crosspoints can be set to "Immediate," "Preset," or "Preset2" on the Operation Setting page of the web menu. To set for each page group, configure settings as described in "Page Group Settings Page" (page 31) in the web menu section.

Immediate: Immediate Take mode

In BPS mode, the Take function is executed at the moment the source selection button is pressed. In MD selection mode, the Take function is executed at the moment when the button with the assigned source is pressed.

Preset: Preset Take mode

After a source selection button (BPS selection mode) or button with assigned source (MD selection mode) is pressed, the selected source is stored as the preset source and the button becomes a TAKE button after a few seconds. The Take function is executed when the TAKE button is pressed with the source stored as the preset source.

Preset 2: Preset 2 Take mode

In Preset 2 Take mode, the button does not become a TAKE button. All other actions are the same as for Preset Take mode.

• In Preset Take mode or Preset 2 Take mode, you can check which source is stored as the preset source in [Preset] in the status display window (MKS-R1630 only). In Preset Take mode or Preset 2 Take mode, the bottom of the display window of the source selection button set with the preset source is displayed highlighted.
• The TAKE button can be assigned to a button as described in "Panel Table Page" (page 26) in the web menu section.
• You can configure settings so that the same action will occur when the selector knob is pressed as when the TAKE button is pressed as described in "Operation Settings Page" (page 28) in the web menu section.

Note

[Preset] and [Preset2] are not supported on the MKS-R3210.

Usage Precautions

On condensation

If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may damage the unit.

About the LCD panels

The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may be "stuck", either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such "stuck" pixels may appear spontaneously.

These problems are not a malfunction.

About the life expectancy of parts

The life expectancy of the AC adapter and the electrolytic capacitor is about 5 years under normal operating temperatures and normal usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month).

If usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.

About network security

SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM A FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT PROPER SECURITY MEASURES ON TRANSMISSION DEVICES, UNAVOIDABLE DATA LEAKS RESULTING FROM TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATIONS, OR SECURITY PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND.

Depending on the operating environment, unauthorized third parties on the network may be able to access the unit. When connecting the unit to the network, be sure to confirm that the network is protected securely.

From a safety standpoint, when using the unit connected with the network, it is strongly recommended to access the Control window via a Web browser and change the access limitation settings from the factory preset values (page 33). Changing the password regularly is also recommended.

Do not browse any other website in the Web browser while making settings or after making settings. Since the login status remains in the Web browser, close the Web browser when you complete the settings to prevent unauthorized third parties from using the unit or harmful programs from running.

Error/Warning Messages

If trouble occurs on the unit, the status lamp lights up red and an error/warning message is displayed in the preset display window (MKS-R3210/R1620) or in the mode information area of the status display window (MKS-R1630).

Warning messages disappear after being displayed for about 2 seconds.
