Grass Valley Jupiter Control System - Manual (Page 18)

Two reasons for approaching the programming process this way are: First, setting up
a minimal amount of data for the first encounter with Jupiter will minimize
troubleshooting and also make it easier for Thomson technical support to help,
should problems arise. Second, control panels using numeric inputs and outputs will
not compile if the Switcher Input and Output tables have been changed to mnemonic
designations in the Switcher Input and Output tables.
After deciding on which control panels to set up for this stage, rename them by
double-clicking the device name to be changed if desired. Enter the new name,
naming them for the particular location where they will be in service. For example, if a
panel was designated to be used in Studio A, naming it “STUDIO” may prove to be
useful. For device type, move to the device type box, click the drop-down menu, and
make the appropriate selection from the list.
The next box (“Expansion”) is for control panels with an expansion panel; check the
box if this particular type is present, or leave it unchecked for all other panels.
Assign a VM 3000, SI 3000, or CM 4000 and a port to which this panel will connect;
the control panel must be physically connected to the port being assigned. Also, note
that this may be different than the port to which the panel is connected for the factory-
configured set. If so, proper reconnection of the control panels must be made prior to
downloading this set. The port also must be set up to be an MPK port in the Serial
Protocol table.
Assign the appropriate input, output, and level sets. Each control panel can use a
different set or use a common set depending on the desired customization of the
access to the routing switcher. Do not program Sequence Sets or Overrides at this
time—this can be done later if necessary.
Note
The control panels might now be assigned to different ports than they were with the factory
configured set. The correct connections need to be made if this applies.
Note
Different types of control panels cannot use the same Input and Output sets. CP 3000 and CP
320 panels must have different set types created for them. However, copying a set and
modifying it to match the panel can save much time. Refer to section 5 of the Jupiter manual
under “CP Input Sets—Copying a CP Input Set for Use with a Different Panel Type” for more
information.
Note
The above description applies to CP 3000-type panels. Refer to Section 4 of the Installation and
Operating Manual for specific control panels.
