Section 1
Overview
1-1. What is the Routing Switcher
System?
Routing switcher system is the system that has the func-
tions of switching and control of signals using routing
switchers.
The main devices that constitute the integrated routing
system
.Routing switcher
.Remote control panel (routing switcher control unit)
.Personal computer
1-2. Functions of the Routing Switcher
System
The routing switcher system has the following functions.
For details, refer to the System Setup Manual correspond-
ing to each routing switcher.
..
..
.Secret function
This is the function that hides certain input channels
from all remote control panels to protect the cross-point
so that it cannot be switched.
..
..
.Protect function
This is the function that protects the cross-point set so
that it cannot be released from other remote control
panels.
..
..
.Cross-point input system limit function
Function that limits the input channels can be selected
for each output channels. It can also be used to fix the
area of cross-points selected so that only certain input
channels can be selected for certain output channels.
..
..
.Password function
It is possible to setup password so only authorized
person can perform the setup operation from the terminal
menu.
..
..
.Naming function
In the routing switcher system, names are given to all of
the input and output terminals and are controlled in order
to improve operating efficiency.
It is possible to setup multiple names to describe the
terminals, such as “Type + Number” name and “Descrip-
tion” name, or “Alias” name.
..
..
.Virtual mapping function
Several routing switchers can be mapped on a virtual
matrix with 1024 inputs and 1024 outputs in router
system. The matrix of one switcher can be also divided
into several virtual levels and mapped.
..
..
.Free assignment function
The same terminal number can be assigned, for each
terminal name, through levels 1 to 8. The different
physical number can also be assigned on each level.
..
..
.Tie line function
Tie line is used to effectively share the minimum number
of signal converters (SDTV to HDTV, HDTV to SDTV)
by the multiple input terminals and output terminals.
..
..
.Phantom function
Several cross-points can be switched simultaneously
with just one push of a button of the remote control
panel.
..
..
.Self-diagnosis function
Presence or absence of input/output signals and occur-
rence of error can be sent to a PC that is connected to the
primary station and display them.
..
..
.Others function
.When the optional Subnet Interface (BZR-IF810) and
the optional System Setup Software (BZR-2000) are
used, a maximum of 60,000 devices can be controlled
by a single routing switcher system.
.IXS-6600/IXS-6700 and HDS-X5800 has the built-in
system controller (primary station function). There-
fore, there is no need to prepare a controller to control
the routing switcher system.
.HDS-X5800 can increase the number of inputs by
cascade connection, and the number of outputs by the
signal distributor up to 1024 channels each.
n
The IXS-6600/IXS-6700, HKSP-R80 and HDS-X5800 do
not have the control function of the monitoring S-BUS
system.

1-2 BKS-R3219A/R1617A I&SSM
1-3. Compatibility between the S-BUS P1 (S-P1) Type and S-BUS P2 (S-P2)
Type
There are two types of Sony Routing Switcher. One is the “S-BUS P1” type (abbreviated as S-P1 hereaf-
ter) that supports the virtual matrix size 512, and the other is the “S-BUS P2” type (abbreviated as S-P2
hereafter) that supports the virtual matrix size 1024. S-BUS machines on sale now are all the S-P2 types.
The S-P2 type has the upward compatibility with the S-P1 type but has the several limitations.
The S-P2 type is realized by extending the type number of the terminal names from 16 to 32, and by
changing the data structure of the terminal names. The 16 types of the terminal number data that are used
in the S-P1 type do not have reversibility from the 32 types of terminal number data that are used in the S-
P2 type. The S-P2 device supports two types of data i.e., both the 16 type data and the 32 type data for
each terminal of terminal number 1 to 512.
Likewise, with the S-P2 controller, the 16 type data must be used for the terminal number of 1 to 512
when the S-P1 type display unit (BKS-R3280/R3281) and the remote control panel (routing switcher
control unit) are used in the system. The 32 type data must be used for the terminal numbers of 513 to
1024.
When all of the display units and the remote control panels within the system are of the S-P2 type, the 32
type data can also be operated for the terminal numbers of 1 to 512.
When use of the remote control panels of the S-P1 and S-P2 types are mixed, use of the S-P1 type remote
control panel is limited within the range of terminal number from 1 to 512. In such a case, the S-P2 type
remote control panel can handle the 32 type data with the terminal number of 513 to 1024.
This manual describes information of only the S-P2 type machine.
For the information on the S-P1 type machines, refer to the following manual.
.Installation Manual (Software) : 3-194-351-xx
It is supplied with the routing switcher of the S-P1 type machine.
m
All of the following models currently available belong to the S-P2 device.
.Routing switcher: IXS-6600/IXS-6700/HDS-X5800
.Remote control panel: BKS-R1617/BKS-R1618/BKS-R3216/BKS-R3219/BKS-R3220/BKS-R1617A/

1-4. Constituent Devices of Routing Switcher System
The routing switcher system consists of the following four types of equipment.
..
..
.Routing switcher controller (HKSP-R80)
It controls the signal switching for the routing switcher in accordance with the commands from the host
controller (such as host computer) and remote control panel.
..
..
.Routing switcher (IXS, HDS, DVS, BVS series)
The switcher with a built-in controller and the one without it are available.
The built-in controller type switches signals according to the command from the controller (such as
host computer) and the remote control panel. The routing switcher without a built-in controller (such as
a secondary station) switches signals by following the commands from the controller. Varied switchers
are available for different types of signals such as serial digital video, digital audio, time code, RS-
422A, etc.
..
..
.Routing switcher control unit (Remote control panel) (BKS-R series)
It is used to switch signals and to display the name of the selected signal. It is sometimes simply called
as “remote control panel”.
..
..
.Personal computer
A personal computer is required in order to establish the various setups that are necessary for configur-
ing and running the routing switcher system using a terminal emulator. The setup data are backed up
and restored with the BZR-20 that is supplied with the IXS-6600/IXS-6700, HKSP-R80 and HDS-
X5800.
A personal computer having the following specifications is recommended for use with the routing
switcher system.

1-5-2. S-BUS Control
The Sony routing switcher system uses the Sony unique remote control protocol called S-BUS (Sony
serial bus) for controlling the switcher system.
In the S-BUS control, the multiple routing switchers and remote control panels are connected to a single
bus line to form a control network called the S-BUS data link.
The devices on the S-BUS data link are designated to a primary station which controls the whole system
(only one unit is set as this) and secondary stations. The primary station not only controls the communica-
tion between the secondary stations, it converts the output request signals from the secondary station in
accordance with the internally set conditions.
n
Be sure to attach the 75 Zterminator to all of the un-used S-BUS line connector regardless of the prima-
ry/secondary stations.
Basic Configuration of S-BUS Control System
The routing switcher system is connected with the S-BUS data link using a 75 Zcoaxial cable.
The main equipment of the S-BUS data link is shown in the table below.

functions are limited.

1-6 BKS-R3219A/R1617A I&SSM
Precautions for connection
.For the controller and routing switcher that are used as the primary station, set the S/P selector switch
on the CPU board (on the CA board for the IXS-6700/IXS-6600) to the “P” position.
.For the controller and routing switcher that are used as the secondary station, set the M/S switch (S/P
selector switch in the IXS-6700/IXS-6600) on the CPU board (on the CA board for the IXS-6700/IXS-
6600) to the “S” position.
.A primary station can control up to 253 secondary stations.
.A single S-BUS line can be connected to up to 128 secondary stations.
.The maximum length of a single S-BUS line cable is 500 m (when the BELDEN 8281 cable is used).
.Terminate the L-type and Y-type bridges that is connected to the last machine of the S-BUS line with a
75 Zterminator. Also, terminate the unused REMOTE1 connector of each switcher with a 75 Z
terminator.
.In the primary controller or routing switcher, two or more REMOTE 1 connectors can be used.
.In the secondary controller and routing switcher, only one REMOTE 1 connector can be used each.
How to use the L-type and Y-type bridges
The L-type and Y-type bridges are supplied with the BKS-R1617A/BKS-R3219A . Use the L-type and Y-
type bridges as follows.

1-5-3. RS-422A Control
SONY Routing switcher system can be controlled from an external control equipment that is connected to
the REMOTE2
(D-sub 9-pin) connector with the RS-422A interface. In addition, the protocol (CART++)
can be added so that up to 4093 inputs x4093 outputs x8 levels can be controlled.
When the extended protocol is the CART++ that has the control size of 256 or less, it is compatible with
the existing protocol (CART, CART+).
Two operation modes are available: S-BUS conversion mode, which converts the commands received via
RS-422 into the S-BUS protocol, and the direct mode, which controls the commands received via RS-
422A inside the reception station. When the routing switcher is set as a primary station, the mode is fixed
to the S-BUS conversion mode. When the routing switcher is set as a secondary station, the mode is fixed
to the direct mode.
The remote control panel is fixed to the S-BUS conversion mode.
m
.In the direct mode, the protect and secret functions set on the S-BUS protocol are not available.
.In the S-BUS conversion mode, the protect and secret functions set on S-BUS protocol are available.
However, these functions cannot be set from the 9-pin remote control and the contents of the setting
cannot be checked from the 9-pin remote control.

2-3. Power Supply
1. Power Specifications
A switching regulator (+12 V) is used for the power
supply of this unit. A voltage within the range of AC 100
to 240 V can be used without changing the supply voltage.
Power requirements : AC 100 to 240 V
Power frequency : 50/60 Hz
Current consumption :
BKS-R3219A/R1617A : 0.35 to 0.15 A
n
As the inrush current at turn-on is a maximum of 13 A (at
100 V) /47 A (at 240 V) with the BKS-R3219A, or a
maximum of 12 A (at 100 V) /40 A (at 240 V) with the
BKS-R1617A, the capacity of the AC power must be
commensurate with this source load.
If the capacity of the AC power is not adequately large, the
AC power source breaker will operate or the unit will
abnormally operate.
