Cabling
Ethernet Communications
Ethernet is used for communication between the Concerto and either an
Encore or SMS 7000 Control System frame. Communications can be estab-
lished 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.

References
Concerto requires a Video Reference. Most composite analog video sync
signals will work with the exception of 4 Volt and 2 Volt discreet sync sig-
nals. Color Black is recommended. To allow
time stamped deterministic
switching, the Video Reference must contain an embedded Vertical Interval
Time Code (VITC) signal.
The AES sync reference loop-thru input provides a 48 kHz formatted signal
for r
e-synchronization to frame and block boundaries. The signal is
required for the Analog Audio and the Digital Audio (AES) modules to
function properly. Lack of this signal will cause the router to add or drop
samples.
The Concerto matrix supports multiple independent switch
point reference
signals. Multiple reference signals support synchronously switching
groups of sources with different repetition rates (PAL/NTSC) or offset
timing (delay from studios vs. direct feeds).
Reference signals can be routed via loop-thru daisy-chains. The signal orig-
inates at a generator. It can t
hen either be directly fed into the Concerto
