SW-P-08 ROUTER REMOTE CONTROL Calrec Hydra2 routers allow for 1-to-n cross-point matrix routing of sources to destinations without using up DSP or control surface space. Control over cross-point routing can be carried out from a console, a standalone PC running the Calrec H2O network administrator GUI, or via third party controllers supporting the SW-P-08 protocol. SW-P-08, or the “General Remote” protocol was first developed by Pro-Bel and has since had a wide uptake by router and controller designers to allow their equipment to control, or to be controlled by other manufacturers’ equipment. Input sources and output destinations that are to be controlled in this way are assigned unique SW-P-08 ID’s within the router which are mapped and labelled accordingly in the controller. SW-P-08 controllers can route any source to any destination across the Hydra2 network that they have been given access to. As well as physical Hydra2 input and output ports, the H2O GUI and SW-P-08 controllers can also route to and from Hydra Patchbays, giving access to console DSP outputs as sources, and the ability to change sources feeding control surface faders. Putting Sound in the Picture SW-P-08 ROUTER REMOTE CONTROL Connection and redundancy The SW-P-08 control connection is made via TCP/IP to the single front panel Ethernet port on the primary, normally active router card in the Master Router rack. In the event of a primary router failure, the secondary would take over and continue SW-P-08 communications over the connection made to the primary card. Calrec also support a backup SW-P-08 connection that can be made to the secondary router card, protecting against port, cable and 3rd party failures where supported by the third party SW-P-08 controller. Serial to TCP/IP conversion For third party controllers that do not support TCP/IP connections, Calrec can provide a 1U rack-mount twin PSU serial to TCP/IP convertor unit. Systems currently in use: Although there is a very wide uptake in SW-P-08, it is not an official standard and there may be variations in different manufacturers’ interpretations. Therefore, where possible, Calrec prefer to prove communications with specific manufacturers before they are installed for the first time, allowing for changes to the software to be made if required. The following systems have been proven and are in on-air use, please feel free to discuss 3rd party controller options and potential candidates with a Calrec representative. • • • • • • • L-S-B VSM Siemens Colledia / BNCS Grass Valley Jupiter Evertz NVision N9000 series* Sony* Snell Aurora* *Currently under test Talk to a sales representative or email [email protected] for more info. calrec.com Putting Sound in the Picture
