For details, see "IXS-6600/6700 System Products" on page 49.

Actual signal switching can be controlled, using an external control unit, such as the optional BKS-R1617/R1617A/R1618/R3216/R3219/R3219A/R3220/R6010 Routing Switcher Control Unit.

For details, see “Control System of the IXS-6600/6700 Integrated Routing System” on page 54.

Some of signal-switching operations can be controlled from a PC if the BZR-21 Routing Switcher Remote Control Software (supplied) is installed on the PC connected with the IXS-6600/6700, using Ethernet or RS-232C.

For details, see "Supplied Software" on page 71.

To operate this system, various settings (table data creation and system settings) must be made beforehand, using terminal emulator software on the PC.

For details, refer to the System Setup Manual (supplied).

Notes

- For the HDTV SDI signal line, use the HD/SD-type optional boards from input through output, as shown below:

Processor board: IKS-V6050M

Input board: IKS-V6010M

Output board: IKS-V6060M

- For example, even if the HD/SD Digital Video Output Board is used for output, when a processor board dedicated to the SDTV SDI signals (SD Video Router Processor) is used for processing, HDTV SDI signals are not output.

- When the RS-422 boards are to be mounted, the slot number for the IKS-RS6010 Input Board and that for the IKS-RS6060 Output Board must be identical, as they are handled as a pair. For example, if the input board is installed in Slot 3 for input boards, the output board must be also installed in Slot 3 for output boards.

- The 540 Mbps SDTV SDI signal is not handled by the SD Digital Video Board. Only a digital video board that can handle HD/SD signals can support this signal.

For details, refer to the Installation Manual (supplied).

Features of the IXS-6600/6700 Integrated Routing System

Selectable two types of chassis

For the IXS-6700, when digital video signals are handled, from a minimum of 16 inputs × 17 outputs to a maximum of 128 inputs × 136 outputs can be installed in an EIA 8RU chassis. For the IXS-6600, a minimum of 16 inputs × 17 outputs to a maximum of 64 inputs × 68 outputs can be installed in an EIA 4RU chassis.

Multiple signal formats handled in a single chassis

The IXS-6600/ 6700 can handle the following signals:

• Video: HDTV SDI signal
• Video: SDTV SDI signal
• Audio: Analog audio signals, AES/EBU digital audio signal
• Data: RS-422A signal
• Time code: LTC signal

Multiple signal-format boards can be mounted in a single chassis for simultaneous operation, which enables reducing the number of devices required for routing to one.

Flexible input/output configuration

The video signals can be expanded in units of 16 inputs and 17 outputs.

The digital audio (balanced) signals can be expanded in units of 32 inputs and 34 outputs.

The digital audio (unbalanced) signals and time code (LTC) signals can be expanded in units of 16 inputs and 17 outputs.

The analog audio (balanced) signals can be expanded in units of 8 stereo inputs and outputs.

Data signals can be expanded in units of 7 inputs and 7 outputs, as 7 inputs and 7 outputs are handled as a pair. The input digital audio signals can be converted to analog audio signals and be supplied, and also the input analog audio signals can be converted to digital audio signal and be supplied.

Note

The Dolby-E signal input to the AES/EBU input board cannot be supplied as an analog audio signal.

Multiple-bit-rate video signals supported

With the use of optional boards supporting multiple-bit-rate video signals, SDTV SDI signals (143 Mbps, 177 Mbps, 270 Mbps, 360 Mbps, 540 Mbps), HDTV SDI signals (1.485 Gbps, 1.485/1.001 Gbps), and DVB-ASI 270 Mbps signals can be handled. These rates can be independently selected for each input/output.

Supporting audio asynchronous system

If an SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) board is mounted, asynchronous digital audio input signals can be supported.

Audio matrix size double that for video signals

The TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) technique enables matrix size (256 × 272) for the AES/EBU digital audio signals (balanced) double that for video signals.

Supporting Dolby E (compressed audio)

Linear PCM audio functions supported

- Soft Switching (V1.10 or later)

Slow transition of audio data toward 0 at a switching point reduces popping and clicking sounds in the audio output.

Note

Soft Switching does not support Dolby E.

- SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) ON/OFF function

Activation/deactivation of the Sampling Rate Converter function can be set for each AES/EBU digital audio input signal.

For details, refer to the System Setup Manual (supplied).

- SRC (Sampling Rate Converter) Matched Phase Mode

A phase difference between adjacent channels can be maintained for the audio signals input to the Sampling Rate Converter.

Note

This function is effective for audio channels on a single input board, but not for audio channels on multiple input boards.

For details, refer to the System Setup Manual (supplied).

• A variety of audio 2-channel outputs

The audio signals have stereo channels, and audio sources for those two channels can be output in the following four manners in addition to stereo (default): Lboth, Rboth, Swap, and Mix(L+R). (V1.10 or later)

Note

For the ancillary data for the AES/EBU format signals (channel status, user data, and validity flag), Lboth, Rboth, Swap, and Mix(L+R) do not function.

Linear PCM/Compressed audio functions supported

- Channel status regeneration (V1.10 or later)

When AES/EBU signals are switched, a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error may be generated in the device to which the signal from this unit is input, because

the data within the block become inconsistent with the CRC values. To prevent muting caused by such a CRC error, regeneration of channel status is performed.

Supporting RS-422A physical assignment

Control System of the IXS-6600/6700 Integrated Routing System

In the IXS-6600/6700 Integrated Routing System, a remote control panel (routing switcher control unit) controls the signal switching in accordance with the settings of a terminal emulator on a PC. A supplied BZR-21 Routing Switcher Remote Control Software (GUI software) can control basic crosspoint switching on a PC. There are four types of control available for you to control the routing system: S-BUS protocol, which is used through the BNC-type REMOTE 1 connectors; RS-422A protocol, which is used through the D-sub 9-pin REMOTE 2 connectors; RS-232C protocol, which is used through the D-sub 9-pin REMOTE 3 connector; and Ethernet protocol, which is used through the NETWORK connectors. Simultaneous use of four protocols is also possible.

Control using S-BUS protocol

S-BUS is a protocol developed by Sony for control of a digital routing switcher system. This protocol enables communication between multiple routing switchers and remote control panels (routing switcher control units) using one coaxial cable. A combined total of 254 routing switchers, remote control panels and equivalent devices can be controlled using S-BUS protocol. The IXS-6600/6700 has the capability to convert RS-422A commands to S-BUS commands, enabling S-BUS control through the D-sub 9-pin REMOTE 2 connector.

Control using RS-422A protocol

The IXS-6600/6700 has the capability to convert RS-422A commands to S-BUS commands, enabling S-BUS control from the D-sub 9-pin REMOTE 2 connector. The mode that controls signals in their original form using RS-422A commands is known as Direct mode, and the mode that converts RS-422A commands to S-BUS commands is known as S-BUS Convert mode. S-BUS convert mode can control up to 1024 lines, eight levels, however the response speed is slower than in Direct mode. Also, the items that can be controlled in S-BUS Convert mode are limited to those that can be controlled in Direct mode.

When S-BUS remote is set to the primary station, the mode is fixed to S-BUS Convert mode. When set to the secondary station, it is fixed to Direct mode.

Simultaneous control of multiple signals with the level setting

To simultaneously handle several types of signals, each type of signal requires a different routing switcher. These are known as levels. For example, a VTR requires video, audio, time code, and remote control signals for recording. To switch these signals, these signals require video, audio, time code, and remote routing switchers respectively. You can set a maximum of sixteen levels and different input signal numbers on each level in order to simultaneously control these levels.

Functions of the IXS-6600/6700 Integrated Routing System

The IXS-6600/6700 Integrated Routing System is equipped with the following functions:

Designated input and output line protect function

This function prohibits switching of protected output signals from other remote control panels (routing switcher control units) (protect function) and prohibits switching from other control panels by hiding the input signals from all control panels (secret function).

Crosspoint disable function

For every output signal, you can limit the input signals available for selection so that any particular input signals can be output to the specified output lines.

Password function

You can enter a password to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the system.

Name setting function

You can set names for each input and output connector in order to distinguish among the connected signals. Two methods are available for setting the names; either enter the device name and number (i.e. name of the VTR, camera, etc.), for example VTR 1, or a description using up to 16 characters. You can display the name on the optional BKS-R1617/R1618/R3216/R3219/R3220 control units.

Virtual mapping function

You can set crosspoints on a virtual matrix.

Free assignment function

You can assign a different connector number to a connector name on each level.

Tie line function

You can enable the system to automatically select the signal line that connects up to three routing switchers.

Phantom function

You can switch several crosspoints at the same time.

Self-diagnosis function

Information about whether an error has occurred or not can be displayed by the front-panel status indicators or on the terminal emulator connected to the primary station. The information can also be output to the ALARM connector in parallel.

For details, refer to the System Setup Manual (supplied).

Functions of an S-BUS System

An S-BUS control system transmits the control signals among several routing switchers and remote control panels (routing switcher control units) that are connected with one coaxial cable. In an S-BUS control system, one switcher is designated as the primary station which controls the entire system, and the remaining switchers and remote control panels are designated as secondary stations. Signal transmission between the secondary stations is controlled by the primary station.

The S-BUS control system has the following features.

• LAN (Local Area Network) type control signal transmission using a single 75Ω coaxial cable.
- Possible extension of the coaxial cable up to 500 meters when a BELDEN 8281 or equivalent cable is used.
- Possible connection and disconnection of a switcher or remote control panel to the S-BUS line during normal operations without turning the power off.
- Control of multiple S-BUS lines and up to 254 switchers and remote control panels (including the primary station) from the routing switcher designated as the primary station.
- Possible connection of a maximum of 128 routing switchers and remote control panels to one S-BUS line.
- Display of the errors detected through the self-diagnosis function on the PC (terminal emulator) connected to the primary station on the S-BUS line.
- Storage and future recovery of the settings (system settings and table data) made with the PC (terminal emulator) and the crosspoint data in/from a computer using the supplied BZR-20 Routing Switcher Data Backup Software.

If you set some POWER switches to OFF when all the POWER switches are set to ON and soon set them to ON again, the POWER indicators for the power units whose POWER switches are set to OFF and ON again may remain lit in red. In such a case, set the POWER switches for the power units whose POWER indicators are lit in red to OFF, wait for about 20 seconds until the indicators go out, then set those POWER switches to ON again.

If you wish to set the POWER switch or breaker to OFF after setting all the POWER switches to ON, wait for more than 20 seconds before setting it to OFF.

③ Display window

④REF IN (reference input) connectors (BNC type)

There are four connectors with loop-through function for two signals (A and B).

The connectors accept analog reference video signals (black burst compatible with CCIR624 standards or tri-level sync for HDTV).

Two connectors of each pair have internal loop-through connections. If loop-through output signals are not used, terminate any connector that is not used with a 75Ω terminator.

Note

If you wish to synchronize signal switching with a reference video signal, set the timing of signal switching (odd or even field) and select reference video signal A or B on the PC (terminal emulator).

For further details, refer to the System Setup Manual (supplied).

⑤ WORD SYNC IN connectors (BNC type)

There are four connectors with loop-through function for two signals (A and B).

The connectors accept audio word sync signals.

Two connectors of each pair have internal loop-through connections. If loop-through output signals are not used, terminate any connector that is not used with a 75 terminator.

⑥ REMOTE 1 connectors (BNC type)

There are four connectors for three signals, A, B1/B2, and C (two connectors for B).

Connect the remote control panels (routing switcher control units) and routing switchers using a single coaxial cable to control the system via S-BUS protocol. When you use this switcher as the primary station ^1) (set the S1203-3 P/S switch on the CA-65 board to P), a maximum of 253 remote control panels and routing switchers can be connected via these four connectors.

When you use this switcher as a secondary station ^1) (set the S1203-3 P/S switch on the CA-65 board to S), connect an S-BUS link to one of the connectors using the supplied T-bridge (type B).

For details, see "System Connection Example" on page 56.

Note

Put the supplied 75Ω terminator(s) on the unused connector(s) regardless whether it is the primary station or secondary station.

1) Remote control operations via S-BUS protocol consist of a data link constructed using a single coaxial cable link. Several pieces of equipment (i.e. routing switchers, remote control panel (routing switcher control unit), etc.) are connected to this data link for data transmission in time-sharing mode. One of the connected switchers is used as the primary station that manages the use of the data link, while the other equipment is used as secondary stations which follow directions from the primary station. The response speed may slow down due to the number of secondary stations.

⑦TC IN (time code input) connector (BNC type)

The connector accepts time code signal.

⑧ m (signal ground) terminal

For signal ground.

⑨NETWORK connectors (modular jacks)

There are two connectors for 100BASE-TX communications for signals A and B.

Connect to the Ethernet connector on the PC in which the supplied BZR-20/21 has been installed.

CAUTION

For safety, do not connect the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage to the following ports.

• NETWORK A connector

• NETWORK B connector

Follow the instructions for the above ports.

ATTENTION

When you connect the NETWORK cable of the unit to peripheral device, use a shielded-type cable to prevent malfunction due to radiation noise.

⑩ REMOTE 2 connectors (D-sub 9-pin)

There are two connectors for signals A and B.

Connect an external control unit using a 9-pin remote control cable for use via the RS-422A interface.

When the unit is specified for the primary station (set the S1203-3 P/S switch on the CA-65 board to P), S-BUS Convert mode is selected and S-BUS control via the REMOTE 2 connector is enabled.

Use the D-sub 9-pin connectors with millimeter screws for connections.

For details, refer to the System Setup Manual (supplied).

⑪ REMOTE 3 connector (D-sub 9-pin)

If the switcher is used as the primary station (set the S1203-3 P/S switch on the CA-65 board to P), connect the terminal emulator to make the settings required for system operations.

Use the D-sub 9-pin connectors with inch screws for connections.

Note

If you are using the REMOTE 3 connector, set the S1203-3 P/S switch on the CA-65 board to the P position.

For further details, refer to the Installation Manual (supplied).

12 ALARM connector (Mini D-sub 15-pin)

To output the status of the switchers in the same condition as the status indicators on the front panel.

Error Indications and Countermeasures

This switcher performs self-diagnostics when you turn the power on or press the reset button on the CPU board (CA-65) that functions as the main board, as well as at regular intervals during operation. If the self-diagnostics detect an error, the status indicator lights, and information about the error is output to the control terminal (terminal emulator on a PC).

The error code and ERROR No. shown in the status display on the CA-65 board also indicate errors.

You can easily determine the origin of an error through such indications.

The errors indicated with the status indicators and in the display window, as well as their respective countermeasures, are shown in the tables below.
