] Video Matrix Switchers
(Utah or AutoPatch)
Note: The
RAN
[xx]
VS
[yy] is a
modular unit. The xx
and yy are variables
that refer to the
capacity of the
switch: xx=inputs
and yy=outputs.
RAN
[

VS
[

] and AutoPatch Switchers are video matrix switches desi
ned to connect
s
stem in
uts (t
icall
media devices or locall
ori
inated broadcasts) to out
ut
locations (t
icall
classrooms) in baseband
RANGER
s
stems. Switchers are also used
in mixed baseband/broadband s
stems as in
uts to modulators. Connections between
classrooms and the media center are controlled throu
h the
RANCPU
Control S
stem
Master Card, which interfaces to the Video Matrix Switch via an
RAN
232 connection.
The switch then connects to the source device or other audio/video in
uts throu
h
multi
lexer module (
RANAVMS2
)
ermittin
the use of a video-onl
switch. The
RAN
[xx]
VS
[
] is available in increments of ten in
uts and ten out
uts. The AutoPatch
Switcher is available in increments of four in
uts and four out
uts. If the s
stem is
switched broadband s
stem, s
ecif
that the audio o
tion be included, and do not use the
RANAVMS

RANAVDS

Installation
1.
Typically the
RAN
[
xx
]
VS
[
yy
] itself will not be set up in the field and the steps detailed
here will not need to be carried out by field personnel. These instructions are provided
for reference purposes.
Warning: Before
handling the
control card,
discharge static
electricity from
your clothes or
body by touching a
metal surface or
using a grounding
strap.
2.
If it is not already mounted, mount the
RAN
[
xx
]
VS
[
yy
] into the rack.
3.
Remove the control card b
usin
the u
er and lower
lastic tabs. The card will
have two sets of
DIP
switches labeled “Baud Rate” and “Stat/Bus.” Usin
the
followin
illustration, set the
DIP
switches for Utah Scientific switchers accordin
l
.
The settin
s
rovided are for s
stems that have onl
one switch frame. The correct
Utah Scientific serial
ort settin
s are 9600 baud, even
arit
, 2 sto
bits, 7 data bits.
If you are adding additional frames, you must adjust the settings. Contact Rauland-
Bor
for more information. AutoPatch switchers do not have a settin
like this. The
default serial
ort settin
s, which are made in the software, are 9600 baud, no
arit
,
1 stop bit, and 8 data bits.
