Operation
Introduction
The purpose of a routing switcher is to switch any of the inputs (source) to any of the outputs
(destination). Any input can be connected to any or all outputs but each output can only be
connected to a single input. Control remains the most important component of your new system.
Control System Overview
The Ponderosa Family’s three port control system incorporates many powerful features, while
retaining control compatibility with many leading third party control systems and with earlier
generation SVS routing switchers. The control system uses an intuitive interface for routing
switcher control and configuration, pass wording, salvo setup, multiple input/output configuration
and name configuration. Up to 64 control panels can be linked at any one time, daisy-chained on
a single RS-485 network. A variety of programmable control panel styles are available.
Connectors associated with the system’s internal control computer are located on the rear of the
routing switcher frames. Only one frame in a multi-frame system will have a master control
computer module installed. The following pertains to the frame that contains the master control
CPU processor.
