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 control system incorporates many powerful features, while retaining
control compatibility with many leading third party control systems. The control system uses an
intuitive interface for routing switcher control and configuration, 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 are located on the rear of the routing switcher frames. Only one
frame in a multi-frame system will have a master control module installed. The following pertains to the
frame that contains the master control CPU processor.
