4.1 OVERALL FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
(See Figure 4-1)
GENERAL The SAP1626 Source Assignment Panel
is a rack-mounted matrix switch. This switch assigns
each of 20
TW*
User Station strings to two of fifteen
possible buses. Twelve buses
can
distribute both DC
power and intercom signals. Three buses distribute
intercom signals or program signals. The matrix
switch has the effect of transforming a basic two bus
intercom system to a fifteen bus system. The switch
also assigns six camera intercom stations to a pair of
intercom/program buses or twelve camera stations to
a single intercom/program bus.
SAP1626 BUSES There are three kids of buses in
the SAP162.6: 1) two-way two-wire type intercom
buses,
2)
DC powered two-way two-wire intercom
buses, and 3) program audio buses. There are twelve
primary intercom buses and three program or sec-
ondary intercom buses. All buses allow for two-way
two-wire intercom operation. The twelve primary
.
\?
buses may also be "powered" buses. The powering
is
I*
accomplished by plugging
TW
type power supplies
into the SAP1626. The powering allows a
TW
inter-
com station to receive power on its channel one wire
(one
of,.three wires connecting the
TW
user station to
the SAP1626). Most
TW
user stations require DC
power to appear across two of the three wires con-
necting it to a system. (The
TW
stations that don't
require this DC power either have a
"Local
Power"
option or they are a special kind of
TW
station.) The
two wires that accept DC power on a
TW
station are
I
the common and [CHannel One] connections. This
means that, in general, the upper row of switches on
the SAP1626 should
be
set only to powered buses.
Up to ten user stations may be in a group of
TW
user
stations connected to a SAP1626 output. The twenty
outputs discussed above are available on the back of
the SAP1626 on two fifty-conductor connectors, or on
the optional BOP220 as twenty three-conductor male
XLR type connectors.
PROGRAM BUSES The three program buses allow
three different program sources to be connected to
the
SAP1626. The
TW
user stations
can
be assigned
these programs on their channel two connection
(bottom row of switches on the
SAP1626). If the
TW
user station
is
assigned one of the program buses as
above but there
is
no program connected, the bus
can
then function as an intercom bus.
BUS
CONNECTIONS:
1
TO 12
On the SAP1626,
twelve intercom unbalanced powered or unpowered
intercom inputs are tied to SAP1626 thumbwheel
switch buses one through twelve via INTERCOM
CHANNEL
INTERCONNECT connectors, 5111,
5112, 5113, J114. Each connector ties three intercom
channels to three buses respectively. (See SD3871).
The contacts
can
handle a contact carrying current of
2.0 amperes and a contact breaking current of
0.5 amperes.
BUS CONNECTIONS: 13 TO
15
Three balanced
program inputs at the rear panel on connectors la-
beled "PROGRAM INPUTS"
(J105, J106, 5107) tie
to buses 13,14, and 15.
USER STATION CONNECTIONS The front panel
thumbwheel switches tie the EXTERNAL USER
STATION outputs to one of 15 buses. At the
BOP220 each XLR 3-32 connector ties to an upper
thumbwheel and a lower thumbwheel in a column, so
that a
TW
user station plugged into one of these con-
nectors has its "Channel one and its Channel two se-
lected by a column of switches.select these 15 buses.
The "EXTERNAL USER STATION" switches con-
nect through two
50-conductor rear-panel external
output connectors, J101, 5103, which normally con-
nect via two 50-conductor flat cables to the BOP220.
The BOP220 wiring converts the two 50-conductor
connectors to twenty 3-pin XLR-type connectors.
Thumbwheel switches S13-S52 select channels for
EXTERNAL outputs labeled 1-20 on the
BOP220.
Odd numbered switches are top row and select inter-
com channel
1.
Even numbered switches are bottom
row and select intercom channel 2.
Outputs from
these switches connect to rear-panel microribbon
connectors JlOl and 5103.
