Mapping Virtual & Physical Tables
Virtual-to-physical mapping tables, used in software version. 5.01 and later, are configured for one-to-one
mapping (e.g. source 1 is mapped to physical input 1) on all levels. An exception is made in the case of
partially-stuffed routing switchers with holes. In these routers, the mapping is set to skip over the holes.
This creates a discrepancy in the mapped input/outputs and the silk screened numbers on the rear of the
frame. For example, if outputs 1-8 and 33-40 existed on a router level, but outputs 9-32 did not exist (i.e.
they area “hole”), then mapping would be set to map virtual destination 9 to physical output 33, etc. An
exception also occurs for the case of routing switchers with one or more levels that are smaller than the
basic router size. In these cases, the mapping tables are set to map nothing to sources and destinations
beyond the basic size of any given level.
Salvo Table & Level Names
Initially, the salvo table is empty.
Level names are initialized to “LVL 1”, “LVL 2” etc. Source names are initialized to “SRC 1”, SRC 2”, etc.
Destination names are initialized to “DST 1”, “DST 2”, etc. The routing switcher name is initialized to “SVS
ROUTER”. Level names, salvos, and input/output names can be applied using the TyLinx Pro software.
(See the TyLinx Pro manual for details).
Administration
Yosemite routing switchers use password administration to ensure security to your system. The
Administrator password is set to 0, meaning no password (on software versions 5.01 and later).
Yosemite DIP Switches
Two types of control processors can be used to control Yosemite routing switchers. The Sierra video
505150 module is the most popular in the Yosemite line. This control processor is installed in a video
frame and can control the routers interconnected to the video frame.
If Yosemite Family video frames are not ordered in a system, a Sierra video 504001 Tahoe controller
module is installed in one of the audio frames. All Yosemite audio frames have a module position pre-
wired for a 504001 processor. More information on these two processor boards can be found in the
following two chapters: 505150 Processors, and 504001 Processors.
The 505150 and 504001 control processor boards have arrays of small switches called DIP Switches that
are used to set some of the basic routing switcher configuration parameters. The two processor boards
have different DIP Switch settings. SVS sets the DIP Switches to a default mode depending on the
configuration at time of order. Please check the settings of each DIP Switch before powering on the
system and make any necessary settings changes.
The size of a routing switcher is limited by the amount of non-volatile memory present on the processor
board. With full memory, the largest size, 256x256x8, can be reached. With smaller memory
configurations, the maximum size limited to smaller values.
Your Yosemite switcher has been configured at the factory for the settings you are most likely to need.
However, if you want to configure the switcher differently, you can do so by the setting the switches
located on the processor board (504001 or 505150 shown below). Dip Switches and their action are given
in the tables that follow.
Note:
DIP Switch settings sometimes vary according to the version of software being run in the processor
board.
**The software version installed the 505150 processor is labeled on U14 and U24 of the processor
module.
