Introduction
1−17CM 4000 Installation and Operating Manual
Versions of Jupiter prior to 5.1.0 will not handle edit sets which have more than 64 levels. Should you attempt to edit such
a set, the Jupiter Configurator (editor) will detect the error in the Switcher Description table and will not run correctly. Another
symptom is that the Configurator will not exit properly. (If you mistakenly do edit a set with more than 64 levels with a pre
5.1.0 version of Jupiter, terminate the Configurator, delete the invalid set from the YourJupiterDirectory\Config directory,
delete the YourJupiterDirectory\Config\ics_conf file, and re−execute the Configurator.)
CP 38xx Control Panel
If you intend to control more than 64 levels from a CP 38xx panel, a control panel firmware upgrade will need to be ordered
from the factory.
CM 4000 Serial Bus Loading
Recommendations for maximum number of devices per bus and processor board
The following guidelines can be used during system planning or as a part of a troubleshooting process. In the case of an
installed system, a existing configuration set can be analyzed automatically using the “loading.exe” program available at the
Support/FAQ web site.
Base Load Factors
The following are the base load factors for the specified devices and are subject to the multiplier described under “Calculating
Loading” on page 1−18:
— Each CP 3800 Control Panel counts as four devices, with no more than two CP 3800 panels per controller
port.
— Each MC 3000 Machine Control Panel counts as four devices, with no more than 16 occurrences of MC 3000s
system−wide due to the amount of tape time code being processed.
— Each MC 3010 Machine Control Panel counts as one device: This number remains the same even for an MC
3010/2 Dual 4−Machine Panel.
— Each CP 300 Series Control Panel, CP 3000 Switcher Control Panel, and CP 3020 Push Button Control Panel
counts as one device.
— Each CP 3808 Control Panel, CP 3824 Control Panel, and CP 3830 Control Panel counts as one device. CP
3809 Expansion Panels count as two devices. For example, a CP 3808 with a CP 3809 Expansion Panel would
count as three devices.
— Each CP 3832 Control Panel, CP 3864 Control Panel, and CP 3810 Expansion Panel counts as one device.
For example, a CP 3832 with a CP 3810 Expansion Panel would count as two devices.
— Each VC−3020 Video Display Control Panel counts as one device.
— Each Under Monitor Display counts as one−half a device.
—CP 3010 Expansion Panels and CP 3021 Push Button Expansion Panels are not counted.
