Introduction
1−20 CM 4000 Installation and Operating Manual
Example
A system is to contain the following:
2 channels of Saturn (1 DVP, 2 DAPs per channel). (Saturn Video and Audio Processors do
not directly contribute to Jupiter loading)
1 Saturn MCC 3500 Master Control Console with the Select panel used for delegation pur-
poses. (Saturn MCC 3500 panels do not directly contribute to Jupiter loading unless the Select
panel is used with a backup switcher)
1 Saturn DVE (Sony serial machine protocol)
Venus router control
1 Triton remote router control
8 MC 3000 Machine Control panels
16 serial machines
1 ASCII
1 ESswitch (high switch rate)
30 CP 328 Control Panels
16 CP 3800 Control Panels
4 CP 3808 Control Panels
Determine the Base Multiplier

16 CP 3800 64 (16 x 4) 64
4CP 3808 4 (4 x 1) 4
Sum of Base + Fixed Load Factors 326
Since the sum of the base and fixed load factors of all devices in the system is greater than or equal to 320, this would be
considered a heavily loaded system. Therefore, the indicated Base Multiplier (BM) would be 2.
One possible configuration of this system might then be:
