Assignable Remote Aux Panel S2-053A
(includes 10 meter cable)
One set of pushbuttons on the main control panel is shared among all 12 Aux Buses
through assignment buttons. When control of multiple Aux Buses is needed either for
permanent direct access or for a remote location, an assignable remote aux panel is required.
A remote panel is a self-contained unit that has its own power supply. It is designed to be
mounted in a 19-inch rack and fills 1 RU. Pushbuttons on the remote panel allow direct
access to 17 source buttons, DVE send, the MLE outputs, and clean feed. A shift button
can be used to access any remaining inputs. The remote panel is connected to the switcher’s
control panel via a single six conductor Telco control cable. It can also loop through
another remote panel.
This assignable control panel offers access to Aux Buses 1 through 4, 5 through 8, or 9
through 12. Buttons on the remote aux panel determine which third of the switcher’s Aux
Buses are currently being selected. See the Specifications section at the back of this guide
for a picture of an assignable remote Aux panel.
Custom Cable for Aux Panel S2-054-xxx
(sold by the meter)
Remote Aux panels come standard with a 10-meter control cable. If lengths of other than
10 meters are needed, this option is required. The -xxx portion of the part number
represents the total cable length in meters.
For example: 2 seven-meter cables and one 20- meter cable are required. Order:
• quantity 2 of S2-054-007, and
• quantity 1 of S2-054-020.

combination of MLEs can be controlled using an RS-232 or RS-422 interface and industry-

switcher functions including video input selection, pushbutton enable and disable, control
settings, and memory registers. If complete control of all switcher parameters from an
editor or remote device is necessary, this option is required.
Note that GPI triggers come standard with the Synergy 2 and can be assigned to press any
cut or auto transition button on the control panel.
VTR Remote Control S2-061
This option makes it possible to control VTRs, disk recorders, video servers, or other
devices that use the near-universal Sony Betacam protocol - directly from the switcher panel.
