1-3. Compatibility between the S-BUS P1 (S-P1) Type and S-BUS P2 (S-P2)
Type
There are two types of Sony Routing Switcher. One is the "S-BUS P1" type (abbreviated as S-P1 hereaf-
ter) that supports the virtual matrix size 512, and the other is the "S-BUS P2" type (abbreviated as S-P2
hereafter) that supports the virtual matrix size 1024. S-BUS machines on sale now are all the S-P2 types.
The S-P2 type has the upward compatibility with the S-P1 type but has the several limitations.
The S-P2 type is realized by extending the type number of the terminal names from 16 to 32, and by
changing the data structure of the terminal names. The 16 types of the terminal number data that are used
in the S-P1 type do not have reversibility from the 32 types of terminal number data that are used in the S-
P2 type. The S-P2 device supports two types of data i.e., both the 16 type data and the 32 type data for
each terminal of terminal number 1 to 512.
Likewise, with the S-P2 controller, the 16 type data must be used for the terminal number of 1 to 512
when the S-P1 type display unit (BKS-R3280/R3281) and the remote control panel (routing switcher
control unit) are used in the system. The 32 type data must be used for the terminal numbers of 513 to
1024.
When all of the display units and the remote control panels within the system are of the S-P2 type, the 32
type data can also be operated for the terminal numbers of 1 to 512.
When use of the remote control panels of the S-P1 and S-P2 types are mixed, use of the S-P1 type remote
control panel is limited within the range of terminal number from 1 to 512. In such a case, the S-P2 type
remote control panel can handle the 32 type data with the terminal number of 513 to 1024.
This manual describes information of only the S-P2 type machine.
For the information on the S-P1 type machines, refer to the following manual.
