Grass Valley VM 3000 System Controllers v.7.4 - Manual (Page 331)

Configurator MPK Devices
5−121 VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
Note: No entries are needed for the SlimLine Controller chassis even though it is on an MPK bus.
The address of SlimLine UMDs is set with front−panel buttons. For Dual Display (DD) models, the address of the first (left−
hand) display is set manually; the address of the second display is automatically set to the same number plus 100 hex. For
triple displays (i.e., using the Universal Display), the address of the first display is set manually; the address of the second
display is automatically set to the same number plus 100 hex; and the address of the third display is automatically set to the
same number plus 200 hex. For example, if the first display is set to “AA,” then the address of the second display is “1AA”
and the address of the third display is “2AA.” For more information, refer to the SlimLine Under Monitor Displays Technical
Manual.
Note: Do not use address 00000011.
The “Input Set” specified should be of type “UMD3A” and include all inputs and mnemonics that will be used on the status
display. Each “Output Set” is not an actual Output Set, but is rather the name of the router output feeding the monitor next
to the particular status display. The status display will follow the first level listed in the Level Set, e.g., if Video is the first
level listed, then the mnemonic of the video input feeding the monitor will be shown.
Tally light operation. For tally light operation, the MPK table must include an “MI 3040/T” entry (even if no actual MI 3040
hardware is in the system):
— If there is no MI 3040/T connected to the VM/SI controlling the UMDs, you must define an imaginary MI
3040T and assign it to the VM/SI controlling the UMDs. Entries for “Port” and “Address” are not used but
must be present to satisfy the compiler. See row 4 of Figure 5−97. The purpose of this entry is to launch a tally
process within the VM/SI.
— If an MI 3040/T does exist, and is connected to the VM/SI controlling the UMDs, use the actual VM Board
name, Port, and Address.
Tally light operation will also require entries to the Tally Relay and Tally Dependency tables (see pages 5−172 and 5−178).
RP 1/2/3 and RP 1/2/3 C Applications
Configuration of the older model RP 1/2/3 displays is similar to the SlimLine units except that address(es) are set using rear−
panel switches. There is no equivalent to the SlimLine Controller in RP 1/2/3 systems; the UMDs are instead connected in
loop−through fashion directly to the VM/SI 3000.
