Introduction
1−4 CM 4000 Installation and Operating Manual
Control Functions
DISTRIBUTION SWITCHER CONTROL
Grass Valley matrix routers that can be controlled by the CM 4000 include Apex, Concerto, Trinix, and Venus. The crosspoint
bus* of the switcher is connected to a CM 4000; this in turn is connected to the Jupiter file server. Triton switchers can be
controlled using a serial connection.
Pathfinding Option
Pathfinding provides the user with the means to communicate between routing switchers, including automatic standards con-
version when switching between analog and digital routers.
Note: Jupiter does not support path finding for data routers.
“Remote” (Serial Control) Router Interface Option
The CM 4000 can optionally support several third−party matrix router protocols. Multiple routers with different protocols
can be mixed in one system if desired. For a list of supported remote routers, please refer to page 1−28.
INTEGRATION WITH MASTER CONTROL
The CM 4000 is specifically designed to provide all configuration and control interface functions required for full integration
with a Saturn Master Control Switcher. Integration with tally/UMD products varies with equipment used (see page 1−30).
MACHINE CONTROL (JUPITERXPRESS ONLY)
Each Sony−protocol device using the basic RS−422 control scheme requires one dedicated port of a CM 4000.
EXTERNAL CONTROL PROTOCOLS
These protocols can be used by external computers and automation systems to send switch messages into the Jupiter Control
System. One serial port is used for each device.
For a list of supported protocols, please refer to page 1−28.
Detailed descriptions of these protocols are available. Please contact Grass Valley for more information.
