Default Yosemite Settings
Before Sierra video ships a Yosemite, the routing switcher system is set with critical initial settings, unless
otherwise specified at the time of order. These settings allow the user to install the system and have it
quickly operational.
Basic Size
The number of sources, destinations, levels, and physical layers are the first items to be programmed.
The factory configuration sets the number of sources equal to the number of inputs of that layer that has
the most inputs. Likewise, the outputs are configured similarly. This process sets the number of layers
and levels the same, equal to the number of physical crosspoint layers in the routing switcher (except in
rare instances where two layers are combined to create a larger system).
The configuration will vary with the software version. The Router Control Software allows a one-to-one
correspondence between levels and physical layers with the number of levels equal to the number of
layers. Beginning with version 5.02, the software allows multiple physical layers to be mapped on the
same router level. However in most systems this is not the default.
Settings Based on Software Version
On routing switchers running software prior to 5.01, the sizes are set using the DIP switches on the
control processor board. Systems running 5.01 must set the number of sources and destinations using
Terminal Protocol and entering the control/W command while the number of layers is still set by the DIP
Switches. Systems running 5.02 or later must set all four of these values (number of sources,
destinations, levels, and layers) using the Sierra Video TyLinx Pro program or the Terminal Protocol
control/W command (Hyper-term).
Physical Size
The number of inputs and outputs for each individual layer are assigned. The physical size, the number of
the level which the layer is assigned, the offset of the input and output numbers of each layer within its
level, the type of hardware mapping table to be used with each layer, the type of signal routed by each
layer, and the presence or absence of hole in the input and output space on each layer are all set to
configuration default. Holes can occur when a routing switcher is ordered with a partially-stuffed frame
that can be expanded later to give additional inputs/ and/or outputs. The factory configuration places each
layer on a separate level (except in those rare instances where two layers are combined to create a larger
router), and assigns an offset of 0 for the input and output numbers.
Field Delay
The filed delay is the amount of time between the host command receiving ! until the crosspoint is
changed. The factory default is set to the minimum allowed delay. See the chapter on protocol to change
the field delay.
Control Panels
Each control panel is set to a unique ID between 0 and 63. This is done at the control panels, not via
software. Refer to your control panel User’s Manual to set panel IDs. Control panel settings can be
applied using the TyLinx Pro software. (See the TyLinx Pro manual for details).
