Regulatory Notices 18 Concerto — Instruction Manual
Section 1 System Description The Concerto Multi-Format Router is a matrix-type video/audio/data switching system designed for use in broadcast, teleproduction, and networking facilities. The module slots in the frame are not format sensitive. The slots are physically configured by plugging in any Concerto module and associated backplane into any slot. Each module is a complete 32x32 matrix containing inputs, outputs, and crosspoints.
Section 1 — System Description Mixed Module Matrices The Analog Audio module has Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog converters built into the module. This allows the configuration of physical matrices that contain Analog Audio modules and Digital Audio modules. These mixed audio matrices work the same as regular matrices with all inputs available to all outputs.
Controller Module Identification Vertical interval reference is required for crosspoint switching tasks. This is an analog video input which can be NTSC or PAL. This input is processed to extract vertical sync and odd/even field (if any) information. A predefined programmable logic device (PLD) is used to create a switching strobe that is offset into line 10 for NTSC or line 6 for PAL. A video presence detector interrupts the processor if the video reference is missing.
Section 1 — System Description Module Configuration Each module receives 32 inputs from the backplane associated with the slot position of the module. Each module delivers 32 outputs to the backplane associated with the slot position of the module. In Figure 2, the module in slot position 1 (top position) is receiving Inputs 1-32 from the backplane in slot position 1. Because Figure 2 shows a 128x128 matrix, Inputs 33-128 are available to the module via the Interconnect module.

TDM Expansion TDM Expansion You can use any two Concerto frames to create larger Audio matrices. The matrices can be either Stereo or Mono. A Time Division Multiplex (TDM) submodule is attached to one of the Audio modules in each frame. For matrices under Jupiter control, the slot position of the Audio modules with the TDM submodules will depend on the architecture of the expansion frame.
Section 1 — System Description Figure 15 shows the configuration of the two frames with a TDM submodule attached to the Audio modules in slot 1 of each frame. Figure 15.
TDM Expansion TDM: 224x224 / 32x32 In this configuration one module in the expansion frame is not an Audio module. Figure 17 shows the Signal Flow of a 224x224 and a 32x32 matrix.

Communications can be established using either EXT COM 1 (to communicate with the Controller in slot 1) or EXT COM 2(to communicator with the Controller in slot 2). One connection can be used as a primary connection and the other can be used as a redundant connection.
Section 2 — Installation A second Crosspoint Bus Controller module ordered to provide redundancy will include the following: • A 9 pin D to 9 pin D cable (for pinouts see Table 35 on page 77), • A 9 pin D to 15 pin D adaptor box, and Note The adaptor box comes with a bracket that can be mounted in any of three positions on the box and is mounted on a rack support at the rear of the Concerto Matrix. XPT BUS EXT COM • 8138_03_96r1 A 15 pin D to 15 pin D cable.
Cabling Ethernet Communications Ethernet is used for communication between the Concerto and either an Encore or SMS 7000 Control System frame. Communications can be established using either E-NET 1 (to communicate with the Controller in slot 1) or E-NET 2 (to communicator with the Controller in slot 2). One connection can be used as a primary connection and the other can be used as a redundant connection. See Figure 49. Figure 49.
Section 2 — Installation matrix, or routed through a control frame or a matrix frame before connecting to Concerto In Figure 50 two Video References and an AES Reference are routed to the Concerto frame. Video Reference 1 is terminated at the Concerto frame. Video Reference 2 continues from Concerto to the 7500WB and on to the 7500NB before being terminated at the end of the bus. The AES Audio Reference is routed to the 7500NB where it is terminated.
Cabling Monitor Cabling Monitors are supported for Analog Audio, Digital Audio, Analog Video, and Digital Video modules. Port and TimeCode modules do not have monitor outputs. The physical configuration of the Concerto frame will determine how many and what type of monitoring devices can be connected. Analog Video Monitoring Analog Video modules have one backplane, use internal bussing for monitor outputs, and cannot be combined with any other module type.
Section 2 — Installation In BNC connector on the backplane in slot 3. And a third cable is looped from the Mon Out BNC connector on the backplane in slot 3 to the Mon In BNC connector on the backplane in slot 4. A cable is then attached to the Mon Out BNC connector on backplane 4 and a monitoring device. For more information on configured matrix sizes a see Digital Video Monitor Configuration on page 55. Figure 51.
Cabling Expanded Audio System Monitoring Expanded Audio systems require external looped cables between the two frames for monitoring. You need to connect a cable from a Monitor Out connector on a backplane in the base frame to a Monitor In connector on a backplane in the expansion frame. And a second cable from the Monitor Out connector on the same backplane on the expansion frame to the Monitor In connector on the backplane in the base frame.

Power Power WARNING For safety, the installer must always provide for a readily accessible and rapid method of disconnecting all power sources. Frames may be powered using either an AC power source, or a 48 VDC power source. It is also possible to cable a matrix using an AC power source and a 48 VDC power source at the same time, provided that the DC supply normally delivers between 47 and 48.5 V.
Section 2 — Installation Figure 53. 48 VDC connection for 7 RU frame. DC connector for 4 RU frame is identical.
Option Installation Option Installation Expansion TDM Submodule Installation If you want to add a TDM submodule to an Audio module that you already have, or you decide that you want to put the TDM submodule on an AES Digital Audio module instead of an Analog Audio module, or vice versa, use this installation procedure. 1. Inspect the TDM submodule. 2. Lift the ejector tabs on the front of the Audio module. 3. Pull the module gently to disengage it from the backplane. 4. Slide the module out of the frame.
Section 2 — Installation 9. Secure the TDM submodule to the Audio module by finger tightening the four nuts to the submodule on the front side of the Audio module. See Figure 54, the Audio module will be on the plastic pin between the spacer and the nut. 10. Align the Audio module in the appropriate frame slot. 11. Slide the module into the frame. 12. Gently push the module to engage the backplane. 13. Close the ejector tabs. Repeat this procedure for installing each of your TDM submodules.
Section 3 Control System Configuration The Concerto can connect to different control systems using either Crosspoint Bus or Ethernet buses. Control using a Crosspoint Bus interface requires DIP Switch and Rotary Switch settings. Control using an Ethernet interface requires IP address configuration. This section covers the IP settings, switch settings, and specific configuration items that Concerto requires to be controlled.
Section 3 — Control System Configuration Ethernet Interface Configuration IP addresses for either the 10Base-T controller or the 10/100Base-T Controller are set at the factory for Encore installations. For that reason, it’s possible to configure a Concerto using the default IP addresses with an Encore System Controller also running default IP addresses. Table 42.
Ethernet Interface Configuration The NetConfig application can be used to change IP addresses and load software to devices on a network. CAUTION If you are using a CRS-MC-C2 Controller module, the mode setting on DIP Switch bank S11 must be set correctly before it will communicate using Ethernet. See Control Mode/In Sel Setting on page 93. IP Address Setting Using NetConfig 1. Double-click on the NetConfig icon to launch NetConfig (see Figure 55). The main NetConfig window will appear. Figure 55.
Section 3 — Control System Configuration Figure 56. Change IP Addresses After you’ve made these changes to Concerto IP settings you will be able to communicate fully with the Concerto via Ethernet and be able to make additional setting changes via NetConfig and/or the Control System. You can review your Concerto settings or make any changes NetConfig supports by selecting your Concerto in NetConfig’s IP or Device views and then using the various pages in the Browser.
Ethernet Interface Configuration Figure 57. Concerto Matrix Description IP Address Setting Using Concerto Web Pages The IP addresses on a Concerto controller can also be changed directly from it’s web page, provided the PC used is configured with a compatible IP address compatible. However, it is more convenient to use NetConfig for this purpose, because it can list devices even the device is not configured directly on the network. Refer to the NetConfig Instruction Manual for detailed information.
Section 3 — Control System Configuration Figure 58. Concerto Matrix Network Configuration Software Updates When you’re ready to update Concerto’s software, follow these steps. CAUTION This procedure will take your Concerto(s) off line during the final step. 1. Ensure that the PC you’re using is connected to the same network as your Concerto, and that NetConfig and the Concerto software has been loaded onto the PC. 2.
Concerto Web Pages Note Unpredictable system behavior is likely if different versions of software run in your facility. Figure 59. The Update Devices Dialog Box 6. Ensure that the Re-Boot when complete checkbox is checked and click the Load button. 7. After the Concerto Controller reboots, verify that the correct software version is now loaded using the Concerto Matrix Description window. See Figure 57 on page 97. 8. Exit NetConfig. Your Concerto changes are complete.

Encore Control System Configuration Encore Control System Configuration Matrix configuration procedures are dependent upon how the matrix fits within its resident system and how that system is controlled. If you are using an Encore Control System you will generally need to follow the instructions for matrix configuration found in the Encore Configuration Manual. In some cases, however, you must use specific settings. This section highlights those distinctions.
Section 3 — Control System Configuration for all, but there are controller attributes that relate a specific Crosspoint Group to specific boards in the Concerto frame. Figure 73.
Jupiter Crosspoint Bus Controller Configuration Jupiter Crosspoint Bus Controller Configuration If you are using a Jupiter Control System you will need to follow the instructions for matrix configuration found in the Jupiter Installation and Operating Manual. The Crosspoint Bus Controller (CRS-MC-C2) requires specific settings. This section highlights those distinctions.
Section 3 — Control System Configuration CAUTION The maximum number of HD modules that can be in a 7 RU Concerto frame is three in which case the fourth slot has to remain empty. If two HD modules are used then the other two slots can be loaded with any of the non HD modules. CRS-MC-C2 Configuration 1. Verify that DIP Switch bank S11 is configured for Jupiter Control, see Control Mode/In Sel Setting on page 93. 2. Set Rotary Switch S12 for matrix size.
Jupiter Crosspoint Bus Controller Configuration Table 45.
Section 3 — Control System Configuration empty slots and know what module you will be using to fill the empty slots, then use the setting for that configuration. Note If your configuration is not found in the table then your modules are not in a supported hierarchy. Refer to Table 6 on page 26 and Optimum Matrix Configurations on page 26. CAUTION The maximum number of HD modules that can be in a 7 RU Concerto frame is three in which case the fourth slot has to remain empty.
Jupiter Crosspoint Bus Controller Configuration If the setting for this switch is On: • The Controller in CMS1 will take control as Master, or • If the Controller in CMS1 fails, the Controller module in CMS2 will take over, or • If the Controller in CMS1 is reset, the Controller module in CMS2 will take over until the Controller in CMS1 reboots at which time the Controller in CMS1 will take control, or • If there is only one Controller module and it is in CMS2, it will be Master, or • If there is o
Section 3 — Control System Configuration Note Audio modules are configured as stereo, one level. The Jupiter Control System will automatically apply the Left stereo channel to the single level assigned by Concerto, and then Jupiter will assign the same number plus 4 to the Right stereo channel (in this example Right audio would be physical level 6).
Jupiter Crosspoint Bus Controller Configuration Table 50 shows the option setting choices for Audio modules. Table 50.
Section 3 — Control System Configuration Native Protocol Configuration Note The Concerto Native Protocol feature is intended for third party developers. Existing customers should use Standard Control on their Encore systems. Concerto software versions 1.7.5 and newer support Native Protocol (NP) Index commands. Concerto web pages have settings for local configuration if NP is used.
Native Protocol Configuration Figure 76. Concerto Local Configuration. The Local Control settings required depend on the what Concerto hardware modules are installed and your specific facility requirements. Local Configuration Example The following procedure can be used to configure a Concerto SD video 128x128 matrix for standalone operation using Native Protocol: Activate Standalone Control 1. Select the Concerto Matrix System web page from the links on the left side of the main web page. 2.
Section 3 — Control System Configuration Locally Configure the Concerto Matrix 1. From the links on the left side of the main web page select the Local Configuration page. 2. For a 128x128 Concerto matrix, under Local Configuration / Physical Matrix Count select the 1 radio button. Configuration items for one matrix will appear. 3. Under Video Reference Standard select the standard you will be using (NTSC or PAL). 4. For Matrix # select 0 and for Type (assuming SD video) select Concerto SD. 5.
Section 4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Field Replaceable Units Modules and Power Supplies are not serviced in the field. Replace faulty modules and Power Supplies with spares. Return faulty units to a designated repair depot. Use the information located on the back of the title page to contact Customer Service. The fan assembly can be replaced by a complete new assembly. The filter slides in and out of the frame for cleaning or replacement.
Section 4 — Maintenance and Troubleshooting 4. Close the ejector tabs. Replace the interconnect if removed, pin alignment is critical. CAUTION Multi-pin module connectors can become misaligned and cause damage to the backplane and interconnect. Use caution when inserting modules. Do not force modules into slots. It is very important that the module and the backplane are compatible. If a module is plugged into an incompatible backplane it will cause damage.
