Introduction
1−6 CM 4000 Installation and Operating Manual
The CP 3824 control panel is a locally−programmable, full−matrix, multiple level breakaway panel capable of locking and
protecting outputs. The panel features eight−character display capability and relegendable, lighted push buttons. The 24 but-
ton−per−source keys on the left side of the panel are initially assigned to inputs from the file server, but some or all can be
re−assigned to new inputs at any time using only the panel itself. Sources can also be selected by scrolling up or down an LED
display of “Preset” mnemonics or by using the Category/Number keypad.
The CP 3832 is a button−per−source panel configurable for 32 X 1 or 16 X 16 operation. The panel includes buttons for TAKE,
LOCK, and PROTECT. The CP 3864 is a button−per−source panel configurable for 64 X 1 or 32 X 32 operation and includes
buttons for TAKE, LOCK, PROTECT, and CHOP. Both panels can be grouped with additional CP 3832s or a CP 3864 to
provide up to 128 X 128 control. The CP 3810 expansion panel can be associated with a CP 3832, CP 3864, CP 3808, or CP
3830, providing control of up to 80 outputs. The CP 3810 can be operated as a status display only (no control) for one output,
and as a limited−function machine control panel providing Play and Stop commands for VTRs.
MACHINE CONTROL PANELS
The MC 3000 machine control panel, which is capable of operating any of the machines described above, includes a series
of push buttons for motion control (PLAY, STOP, etc.). A variable speed knob, with a color−coded direction/speed indicator,
is included. When used with a serial control VTR, the panel provides a continuous display of the machine’s time code. Also
available is the MC 3010 machine control panel, which includes a gang−start function and illuminating push buttons.
The following machine assignment systems are available:
•Machine assignment to a control panel can be made to occur automatically, using a “follow−the−switcher”
technique (software linkage).
•Machines can also be permanently assigned to specific control panels if desired.
The CP 3800 and Software Control Panel Suite (described below) are also available for machine control applications.
SOFTWARE CONTROL PANEL SUITE (GUI CONTROL PANEL)
The Software Control Panel Suite (“Graphical User Interface”) consists of seven routing switcher and machine control ap-
plications plus a configuration application. Only one of the applications can be activated at a time.
The software operates on a PC using the Jupiter Network Suite (JNS) software, which provides the interface to the Jupiter
Control system through the Jupiter LAN. The Software Control Panels are designed for mouse or touchscreen operation.§
The panels can be run on the Jupiter file server, on one or more separate PCs on the Jupiter LAN, or on both.
Tally
Note: Tally operation is very limited with the AccuSwitch application. Please refer to page 1−30.
Using the MI 3040 General Purpose / Tally Interface, the Jupiter system can follow a source, such as a camera or VTR, through
as many as five switchers and turn on the tally light next to the source when it is switched to air. Switchers that are on−air
can also be tallied. Multiple sources will be tallied simultaneously during keys, special effects, etc.
§ For touchscreen operation, the PC and monitor must be supplied by Grass Valley.
