1. What Is New
Before using the Compact Router System Configurator (CRSC), please review the following list of
feature enhancements and system changes.
Changes
CQX (“Clean and Quiet”) Products
CRSC supports the new CQX (“clean and quiet”) router and CQX control panel. The CQX router
and CQX panel are designed to work together as a single unit and are not usable as a separate router
or panel at this time.
A CQX router performs smooth transitions in both HD and SD video and audio. The CQX control
panel has 4 dedicated transition type buttons (cut, v-fade, cut-fade, and fade-cut). Transitions may
be slow (3 seconds), medium (2 seconds) or fast (1 second). The number of frames used for a tran-
sition depends on the video frame rate, as follows:
• 1080i59.94, NTSC — slow 90, medium 60, fast 30.
• 1080i50, PAL — slow 75, medium 50, fast 25.
• 720p50 — slow 150, medium 100, fast 50.
• 720p60 — slow 180, medium 120, fast 60.
A CQX router operates only with a CQX control panel. The CQX panel can be local (mounted on a
CQX router) or it can be remote (mounted on a remote panel module). The remote CQX panel must
be connected to the CQX router by an Ethernet switch. However, the transition rate or transition
type buttons of a CQX control panel mounted on a remote panel module do not operate.
All CQX routers and control panels must exist on a separate subnet from other CR Series products.
For more information, see
CR Series Ethernet Setttings on page 19.
New IP Addresses
The default IP address for routers and remote control panels have been changed. Previously, the
default IP addresses were:
Routers — 192.168.x where x= the switch setting plus 20.
Remote Panel Modules — 192.168.x where x = the switch setting plus 24.
The current default IP addresses are now:
Routers — 192.168.x where x = the switch setting plus 100.
Remote Panel Modules — 192.168.x where x = the switch setting plus 50.
(xxx.yyy.zzz denotes the subnet determined by the router or remote panel module. The default
is 192.168.2.).
