Grass Valley VM 3000 System Controllers v.7.4 - Manual (Page 44)

Introduction
1−6 VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
The CP 3800 and Software Control Panel Suite (described below) are also available for machine control applications.
ESBUS CONTROL PANELS
In addition to the MPK control panels just described, the VM/SI 3000 will support other machine control panels that meet
all ESbus specifications.
SOFTWARE CONTROL PANEL SUITE (GUI CONTROL PANEL)
The Software Control Panel Suite (“Graphical User Interface”) consists of seven routing switcher and machine control ap-
plications plus a configuration application. Only one of the applications can be activated at a time.
The software operates on a PC using the Jupiter Network Suite (JNS) software, which provides the interface to the Jupiter
Control system through the Jupiter LAN. The Software Control Panels are designed for mouse or touchscreen
operation. §
The panels can be run on the Jupiter file server, on one or more separate PCs on the Jupiter LAN, or on both.
Tally
Using the MI 3040 General Purpose / Tally Interface, the Jupiter system can follow a source, such as a camera or VTR, through
as many as five switchers and turn on the tally light next to the source when it is switched to air. Switchers that are on−air
can also be tallied. Multiple sources will be tallied simultaneously during keys, special effects, etc.
Status Displays
Under Monitor Displays
The Grass Valley SlimLine UMDs combine status and tally functions in the same chassis and are available in a wide range
of sizes and types. SlimLine UMDs are described on page 2−127.
Certain third−party UMDs are also compatible with Jupiter equipment. See page 1−32.
File Server (Configuration PC)
The PC 3000 File Server supplied by Grass Valley is described in detail on page 1−15.
When the system is initialized, program information is downloaded from the file server to the control processor(s). Field up-
grades and modifications can thus be made through this single station.
System Logger
Provides the user with system status display in a window on the PC file server. It also may be run on a stand−alone PC running
a PC 3000 LAN card.
§ For touchscreen operation, the PC and monitor must be supplied by Grass Valley.
