Setup
Overview of Setup
Various settings are required, in order to operate the switcher, control panel, DME, external devices, and so on, connected together in a single system. This is referred to as “setup,” and you can carry out the setup operations from the Engineering Setup menu.
For details of the operations, see Chapter 16 “Engineering Setup” (Volume 2).
The settings in the Engineering Setup menu are grouped under the following headings.
•System setup (System): Settings relating to the whole system (see the following section “System Setup.”)
•Panel setup (Panel): Settings particular to the control panel (see page 195)
•Switcher setup (Switcher): Settings particular to the switcher processor (see page 198)
•DME setup (DME): Settings particular to the DME processor (see page 202)
•DCU setup (DCU): DCU input and output settings (see page 202)
•Router/tally setup (Router/Tally): Router interface and tally settings (see page 203)
System Setup
The system setup settings apply to the whole system. Here the “whole system” refers to all devices connected on the Control LAN.
The DCU is connected through the control panel, but is also included in the “whole system.”
You can make the following settings.
Network configuration (Network Config)
This provides automatic configuration of all devices connected to the Data LAN (excluding the DCU), and displays a list of them.
System configuration (System Config)
Specify the overall system operation mode and the hierarchical relationship of the devices.
