XBAR–Ident:
The source mnemonic codes from upstream crossbars can be transferred to the
switcher using the IDENT XBAR protocol. For this purpose a corresponding control
cable must be provided in addition to the video cable between switcher E–box and
external crossbar (TVS, Mars, Venus) and the protocol for the relevant port must be
selected in the CONFIG EBOX menu. For further details please refer to Supple-
ment 3 TVS Interface.
The mnemonic code transfer is enabled with the IDENT XBAR# softkey in the
IDENT INPUT menu.
For this purpose the desired switcher input must be selected with the cursor. By
pressing the IDENT XBAR# softkey a ”#” appears in the Ident line of the selected
source. The desired output number of the external crossbar can be entered with the
numeric keypad.
Extern XBAR:
Which external Aux bus is to be assigned to the switcher inputs can be determined
with the EXTERN XBAR$ softkey.
For this purpose the desired switcher input must be selected with the cursor. By
pressing the EXTERN XBAR$ softkey a ”$” appears in the Ident line of the selected
source. The desired output number of the external Aux bus can be entered with the
numeric keypad. A ”YES” is entered automatically for this Aux bus in the Prerouter
line.
In order to delete an IDENT XBAR or EXTERN XBAR entry, move the cursor into
the entry field to be cleared, press the IDENT XBAR or EXTERN XBAR softkey and
press Clear (in the numeric keypad).
After this operation the default input name appears in the entry field.
