Introduction
1−4 VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
SI 3000 SYSTEM CONTROLLER
The SI 3000 module extends the range of the Jupiter Control System by providing additional serial ports for connecting addi-
tional devices to the system. This module provides 16 additional ports to interface with a full range of devices when the eight
ports on the core VM 3000 Control Processor have been filled. For SI 3000 specifications, see page 1−11.
CM 4000 SYSTEM CONTROLLER
The CM 4000, which is the platform for the JupiterXPress and Jupiter AccuSwitch applications, is described in the CM 4000
System Controller Installation and Operating Manual, part no. 071−8261−xx.
Control panels
Jupiter control panels are designed to be as simple, flexible, and inexpensive as possible. They use a message−per−keystroke
(MPK) technique in order to reduce the cost of the on−board microprocessor required by the full ESbus specification. System
software is maintained in a central file server from where it is downloaded to the control processors as required.
All control panels are connected to the controlled device through a VM/SI 3000 System Controller, using either the multi−
point or single−point method.
For information beyond that given in the following summary, please refer to the control panel model number in the Index.
SWITCHER CONTROL PANELS
The CP 300 one−rack unit series includes the CP 300 24 x 1 Single Bus Control Panel; the CP 310 24 x 8 Eight Bus Control
Panel; the CP 320 full−matrix, 16−category panel with a dedicated protect key; and the CP 330 Control Panel. The CP 330
can be configured as a 48 x 1, 24 x 2, or 48 x 6 panel. The CP 328 is similar to the CP 320 but has eight−character display
windows.
The CP 2002 uses 16 LCD back−lit buttons that allow source mnemonics to be displayed in the button frame. The panel allows
operators to select up to 256 sources by scrolling to additional pages. The colors of the buttons change to indicate the active
source.
The CP 3000 switcher control panel can be configured for single−bus control (allowing selection of a source for one destina-
tion), multi−bus control, or full matrix control (selection of a source for any destination). The CP 3000 panel is used to select
one of 20 source categories (VTR, CAM, etc.) and then, using a 10−key pad, a unit within the category. Crosspoint status*
is provided by the display window. Additional push buttons provide breakaway (control of individual switcher levels such
as left audio, time code, etc), chop,* lock,* protect,* and override* switching. A password can be assigned to the panel if
desired. The CP 3000 can also be operated in connection with an adjacent CP 3010 expansion panel. For example, for multi−
bus control, the desired source can be selected on the CP 3000; the CP 3010 would then display the names of eight destinations,
beneath which are eight corresponding TAKE keys; one of these would be pressed to complete the switch. The page of eight
destinations can be scrolled to display up to 160 possible destinations.
The CP 3020 is a single bus control panel that can select one of 20 inputs. The push buttons illuminate to indicate status and
can be fitted with user−supplied transparent labels. Dedicated chop and lock buttons are included. Up to four CP 3021 Push
button Expansion panels can be added to the CP 3020, allowing button−per−input selection of up to 100 inputs.
