Mechanical Installation
I the unit is likely to undergo extreme vibration through extensive road trucking and
touring, it must be supported at the rear and/or sides to lessen the stress on the ront
mounting lange. Use either a ready-built rack tray or mount the 9016 unit between other
units. Damage caused by insu icient support is not covered by the warranty.
To prevent cosmetic damage to the ront panel inish, use protective plastic cups under
the rack mounting bolts.
Error
Blinks when a mal ormed serial
message has been received, or an
error has occurred within the unit.
Power
When illuminated, indicates that the
power supply
is unctioning.
Activity
Flashes when a command is
being processed.
User
The unit is operating at a user-
de inable serial bitrate.
Front Panel LE Functions
Zone
The unit is operating in zone mode with no presets loaded into it. Voltages presented to the
control port switch stereo pairs o inputs to stereo pairs o outputs, with video ollowing audio.
Preset
The unit is operating in preset
mode. Voltages presented to
the Z1 section o the
control port will recall
presets rom memory.
Device A
The unit is addressed as device A.
Device B
The unit is addressed as device B.
Soundweb
The unit is operating at the correct
serial bitrate or connection to a
Soundweb unit (38400bps)

Video Inputs and Outputs
The video connections are on BNC connectors on the rear o the unit.
There are 8 inputs, each with a loop-through socket. I nothing is plugged into the loop
connectors, then the video signal will be 75-ohm terminated inside the unit. I the loop
sockets are connected, then whatever is plugged into them will have to provide 75-ohm
termination itsel . There are our video outputs.
The sync in socket should be connected to a pure sync or composite video source o
synchronisation which the unit will use when instructed to set a video crosspoint. I
nothing is plugged into this socket, the unit will take its synchronisation rom the
composite video source connected to video input 1. I the unit does not receive a sync
pulse within 25ms o a command to switch being received, it will switch anyway. The
sync loop socket outputs whatever has been used as the sync source.
RS-232
The RS232 port is or connecting the unit directly to a PC, or the rear port o a Soundweb
9088ii, 9000, 9000ii or 9008 device.
Soundweb devices can be connected to two 9016 units as ollows:
Soundweb 9088ii, 9008, 9000 or 9000ii
9016 Unit A

Control Inputs
The control ports are designed to be used with a 9012 wall panel or simple switches and
aders or potentiometers. There are our sets o ports, or zones, marked Z1 - Z4. The
control port acilities are used in conjunction with the PC setup so tware; see its online
help or more details, and or electrical speci ications o the 9012 and its resistor values,
see Soundweb Designers online help (under control inputs and logic outputs).
The A pin o any given zone should be connected to a potentiometer or gain control.
The B pin should be connected to a resistor ladder or preset recall/individual
crosspoint control.
The unit is in zone mode when there are no presets loaded. (Note that these are presets
within the unit and nothing to do with Soundweb Designer presets). With each 9012, you
can control the routing o a stereo pair o audio channels and one video channel (a
zone). Up to our 9012s can be connected, so all the outputs can be controlled.
The outputs controlled by each 9012 are dictated by which Z pair o terminals (see
wiring section) they are connected to.
For example, a 9012 plugged into Z1 with the unit in zone mode will:
l let you control the gain on outputs 1&2 (stereo pair) with the pot
l let you control the source o the signals routed to audio out 1&2
and video out 1 using the selector switch. With a 9012, this can be
any o the irst 5 inputs.
So with the selector in position 2 in the example above:
l Audio input 5 would be routed to audio output 1.
l Audio input 6 would be routed to audio output 2.
l Video input 3 would be routed to video output 1.
The pair o inputs routed to a given output corresponds to the number printed on the
9012 control +1 e.g 0 = inputs 1+2
In preset mode, only the 9012 wall panel connected to Z1 has any e ect. The
selector will recall the units ive internally installed presets. (again, position 0 on the
selector means preset 1 will be recalled).
