Crystal Vision Introduction
SW808-48V User Manual R1.3 321/07/2008
1 Introduction
The SW808 is a SDI and DVB-ASI compatible 8 x 8 cross-point routing switch.
Switch synchronisation is provided by either SDI or analogue references, allowing the
SW808 to switch in the vertical-blanking interval to avoid picture disturbance. The
designated switching lines are 6 and 319 in 625 line systems and 10 and 273 in 525 line.
There is also provision to switch immediately for cases where there is no common
reference.
SW808 8 x 8 router
Individual cross-points can be set and multiple cross-point salvos can be created to
change a number of cross-points at once. Up to 16 macros or custom routing table
assignments may be stored and recalled and up to 16 snapshots of the router table may be
captured as presets for later recall.
Control is available from the SW808 Controller-48V panel, Statesman, an active control
panel or the card edge. Names may be assigned to inputs and outputs from Statesman and
active control panels.
The main features are as follows:
•SDI 8 x 8 routing switch
•SDI or analogue reference
•Two feeds of each output
•Salvos, macros and router ‘snapshot’ presets
•Names may be assigned to inputs and outputs
•GPI selection of macros and presets
•Control and status monitoring via dedicated SW808 Controller-48V, Statesman,
frame/remote control panels or the card edge

Crystal Vision Introduction
SW808-48V User Manual R1.3 421/07/2008
The SW808 Controller-48V
The SW808 Controller-48V is a dedicated 1U panel to control a single SW808 8 x 8
routing switch, with dedicated buttons for each of the eight sources and eight destinations.
SW808 Controller-48V 8 x 8 router panel
Control is quick and easy: select output, select input and press the 'take' button.
Alternatively salvos can be created and stored to change a number of outputs at once.
GPI control of the first two destinations is provided with optional tally.
Rear connector options
The SW808 is a ‘double-decker’ module that takes two slots. It can be used in a 2U frame
with the RM19 rear connector or in a 1U frame and desktop box by using the RM20 rear
connector.
When used with the four-slot RM19 rear connector all eight inputs and eight outputs are
available. The RM19 will only fit into a 2U frame allowing up to three SW808 modules.
When used with the two-slot RM20 rear connector eight inputs and three outputs are
available. Six modules will fit into a 2U frame, three in 1U and one in a desktop box.
The RM19 rear module has both SDI and analogue reference inputs, with an SDI
reference loop allowing a source to be wired as both a matrix signal input and a reference
input. The RM20 offers one reference input, switch selectable between SDI and analogue.
Further details of the rear modules can be found in the installation chapter.

2 The SW808 Controller-48V
panel
The SW808 Controller-48V panel is designed to control the SW808 8 x 8 routing switch
using a RS422 serial link. The controller has dedicated buttons for each of the eight
sources and eight destinations together with a TAKE button and Salvo SAVE and
RECALL buttons.
SW808 Controller-48V panel
2.1 Installing the SW808 Controller-48V
The SW808 has a number of external control lines that can be configured for GPI or
RS485 control. These control lines MUST be configured for RS485 to enable SW808
Controller-48V communication as explained in section 6.5. It is NOT possible to retain
GPI control when the controller panel is enabled. However, the SW808 Controller-48V
panel has its own GPI control built-in, which is explained later in this chapter.
The panel communicates with Crystal Vision frames via a serial communication link
using the 422 BUS port at the rear of the panel. Standard UTP patch cables may be used
with an appropriate adapter for the Crystal Vision frame remote connector.
SW808 Controller-48V panel – rear view
The RJ45 422 BUS port is next to the GPI I/O connector. Other RJ45 connectors and the
four-way DIP switch are NOT used.
Each card slot in a frame has its control lines brought out to different 26-way D-Type
frame remote connectors on the rear of the frame. The following tables show which
remote connectors to use for different frames and frame slots:

SW808-48V User Manual R1.3 621/07/2008
Note: The second serial port on the SW808 is used for Controller communications allowing front
panel and Statesman control at the same time as Controller access.
Connecting supply cables
To connect the SW808 Controller-48V to a DC supply proceed as follows:
The 48V range of Indigo controllers has been designed to run in both positive and
negative earth situations. This has been achieved by designing the PSU module to be
insensitive to supply polarity. The only precaution to be taken is that the fused line is
always the non-earth connection.
For a positive earth installation the supply –ve would be connected to the Red Fused inlet.
And the supply +ve would be connected to the Black Non-Fused inlet. In this case the
Chassis connection would be connected to a ‘clean earth’ which would be of the +ve
polarity.
For a negative earth installation the supply +ve would be connected to the Red Fused
inlet. And the supply -ve would be connected to the Black Non-Fused inlet. In this case
the Chassis connection would be connected to a ‘clean earth’ which would be of the -ve
polarity.
Note: The fuse holder is part of the PSU module. Replace the fuse only with one of the same
type and rating. Refer to the maintenance section of the trouble-shooting guide for more
information.

Controller to frame remote wiring
The connection from the control panel to the appropriate frame remote connector has a
cable with a D-Type plug at one end and an RJ45 connector at the other.
It is suggested that a short adapter cable be made with a standard RJ45 patch lead and an
in-line coupler used to make the required overall cable length.

Note: The RJ45 connector at the rear of Indigo frames should not be used to connect controller
panels.
For the panel to work, jumper links PL4-PL7 need to be fitted towards the rear of the board
as explained in section 6.5. This will disable GPI control of the SW808 module, but
Controller GPIs will be available.
Using Controller GPIs
The Controller GPIs are provided to allow remote control of the first two destinations
with optional tally outputs.
There are 18 GPI lines, which can be configured as inputs or outputs. When used as
inputs they control source selection for destinations 1 and 2. They may also be used as
tallies when configured as outputs.
GPIs 1 – 8 control destination 1 and are enabled by GPI 17.
GPIs 9 – 16 control destination 2 and are enabled by GPI 18.
With GPIs 1 – 8 enabled, selecting GPI 1 will set destination 1 to source 1, pressing GPI 2
will set destination 1 to source 2 etc. The same applies for destination 2 with GPIs 9 – 16.
The GPIs will also give a tally output so that when destination 1 is connected to source 4,
GPI 4 will be low. This tally will follow destinations 1 and 2; no matter from where the
routing is updated.
The pinout for the 26 way D-Type connector at the rear of the SW808 Controller-48V
panel is as follows:

2.2 SW808 Controller-48V operation
To use the SW808 Controller-48V proceed as follows:
•Connect the SW808 Controller-48V panel to a Crystal Vision frame with a
SW808 module installed as explained in the previous section
•Power the Controller panel - the panel will automatically search for a SW808
module
SW808 Controller-48V panel
Searching Mode
The panel indicates that it is in searching mode by flashing the source and destination
buttons and LEDs in a back and forth pattern. Button presses will have no effect whilst
searching.
The panel will remain in searching mode until it has established communications with an
SW808 board. If communication with an SW808 is lost, it will return to searching mode.
