Pro-Bel SW-P-08 Protocol
You should be familiar with the Pro-Bel SW-P-08 commands before using
this information.
Remote Router Control
Note You will need a specific Jupiter license key to enable the P08R option in the
Driver column of the Switcher Description table.
This interface will send the Crosspoint Connect message and will wait for
a matching Crosspoint Connected message to confirm the switch.
Pro-Bel’s Extended Crosspoint Connect and Extended Connected
commands
are used when there are more than 1023 inputs or outputs.
Determining the Protocol Matrix and Level
When a Third-Party switcher of this type and a Grass Valley Crosspoint Bus
switcher are entered on the Switcher Description table, an offset of 100 can
be used to avoid having the same level numbers for both switchers. For
example, if you have two switchers, an Alpha Image and a Datatek.
• A hardware level setting of "0" on
the Alpha Image switcher could be
entered on the Switcher Description table as "100." If the Pro-Bel remote
router also uses level "0," it would be entered as “200” in the PLvl field.
• A hardware Level setting of "1" on the Datatek switcher could be
entered on this table as "101."
This offset eliminates the need to re-s
et existing level settings on the hard-
ware.
The Protocol matrix and Level are both se
t by the Jupiter system’s Physical
level value, which ranges from 0 to 99. The matrix is the physical level
(PLvl) divided by 16. The protocol level is the remaining physical level
value from 16. The physical level is found on the Jupiter CM’s Switcher
Description table.
Table 32. Pro-Bel Pro-Bel SW-P-08 Protocol Commands
Command Description
Crosspoint Interrogate This command responds with a Crosspoint Tally message.
Crosspoint Connect This command responds with a Crosspoint Connected message.
In addition Jupiter accepts Crosspoint Connected messages and converts
them into Crosspoint Connect messages except that there is no further sta-
tus response. This was done to update the Jupiter status from status mes-
sages sent from the Studer interface.
SingleSourceNameRequest This command responds with a SourceNamesResponse message.
The Jupiter name length is 8 characters but the protocol implementation
supports all the Pro-Bel lengths (FourChar, EightChar, and TwelveChar).
SingleDestinationAssociation-
NamesRequest
This command responds with a DestinationAssociationNamesResponse
message.
