LEO/NS-BUS control support (MKS-R4020)

The MKS-R4020 supports two operating modes: "LEO operation" where it connects to LEO to control the setup and operation of each device, and "NS-BUS operation" where it connects to a system controller to control the routing of video and audio signals.

LCD buttons used for selecting both sources and destinations (NS-BUS operation)

All LCD buttons on the front panel can be used as source selection buttons or destination selection buttons according to settings in the web menu. The current setting can be easily discerned by the color of the button when lit.

Controllable up to 128 levels ^1) (NS-BUS operation)

Up to 128-level (128 signals) control is supported using settings configured using the web menu.

1) Levels

To handle different kinds of signals simultaneously, it is necessary to use a routing switcher for each type of signal. For example, a recording to be made on a VTR requires the use of five signal levels: video, audio 1, audio 2, timecode and remote control signals. These are collectively referred to as levels.

Different sources for each level are selectable (NS-BUS operation)

You can select and display different sources for each level using the breakaway function.

Monitor function to watch the selection status of other outputs (NS-BUS operation)

When a destination you wish to monitor is set as a monitor destination, the source automatically switches to the same source as the monitor destination when the monitor function is set to ON.

Switching between two sources alternately (chop function) (NS-BUS operation)

The chop function switches between two sources alternately at a specified interval automatically.

Switching of multiple crosspoints using a single operation (salvo function) (NS-BUS operation)

When multiple crosspoints have been selected and a salvo is defined beforehand using the web menu, all the crosspoints set for the salvo can be switched by pressing one button.

Display window for each LCD button (NS-BUS operation)

The LCD buttons themselves are display windows. Each LCD button has a 2-line, 8-character display window. The source name is displayed in the display window of source selection buttons, and the destination name is displayed in the display window of destination selection buttons.

Status display function (NS-BUS operation)

The currently selected source name, destination name, and any error messages are displayed.

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 64 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	0001	00007 01000000
0005	0005	0005	00007 01000000

Example 2

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

(Input) 5 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (Output)

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 8).

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 16).
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] (page 18) of the web menu. To set for each page group, configure settings as described in "Page Group Settings Page" (page 21) 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 for 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 Take 2 mode, the bottom of the display window of the source selection button with the preset source is displayed highlighted.
• The TAKE button can be assigned to a button as described in "Panel Table Page" (page 15) in the web menu section.

Pages and Page Groups

In the BPS selection method and MD selection method, you can assign multiple functions to selection buttons using the web menu. The unit controls crosspoint switching according to these settings. One set of settings is made per setting page using the web menu, and up to 64 sets (64 pages) of settings can be configured. A page name is assigned to each page.

Consecutive pages can be grouped, and a group name can be assigned to each group. Up to 64 groups can be configured. A single page can also be registered in multiple groups.

The page to be displayed when the unit is turned on can be set using the web menu.

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 23).

It is recommended that you set a password with a sufficiently long character string that is hard to guess by others, and that you store it safely.

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 in red and an error/warning message is displayed on the STATUS button.

Warning messages disappear after being displayed for about 2 seconds.
