ROUTING SWITCHER SYSTEM (E)

2-11. Virtual Mapping Function (DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 and HDS-V3232)

Several routing switchers can be mapped on a virtual matrix with 512 inputs and 512 outputs in router

system. The matrix of one switcher can be also divided into several virtual levels and mapped.

For example, a switcher handling the 4:2:2 video signal and a switcher handling the 4 fsc video signal can
be mapped on the same level. By connecting them using a 4:2:2/4 fsc converter, the tie line control can be

performed (refer to Section 2-14).

DVS-A3232 has two modes such as 2-channel mode and 4-channel mode. Normally, either one will be
selected. However it is possible to use the overlapping area as the 4-channel mode by dividing the matrix

into two in the 2-channel mode and assigning them to the different virtual levels.
In the figure below, the 12 

x 12 area where the level 2 and level 3 is overlapping is set to the 4 -channel

mode while the other is set to the 2-channel mode in the 20 

x 20 area.

It is called “Virtual mapping” that you assign crosspoints using the virtual matrices and virtual levels in
this way.

This virtual mapping function can be set in the menu item [L: SET  PHYSICAL  ASSIGNMENT] when a

DVS-V3232B/V6464B, BKPF-R70 or HDS-V3232 is used as the primary station.

n
When the matrix of a DVS-V3232B/V6464B is divided into two or more matrices on multiple virtual

levels, the monitor function for input/output signals may not work correctly.
