516. External interfacesThis unit comes with RS-4, GPI and tally connectors to serve as external interfaces.6-1. RS-422 connectorThis enables the unit to be controlled by an editing controller AG-A850.Use it with the settings below.Baud rate: 38400 bpsParity: ODDStop bit: 1 bitPin assignmentPin No. Signal name Description of signal1 FRAME GROUND Frame ground TXD – Send data (–)3 RXD + Receive data (+)4 GROUND Ground5 NC Not used6 GROUND Ground7 TXD + Send data (+)8 RXD – Receive data (–)9 FRAME GROUND Frame groundThe following lists the functions which can be controlled by AG-A850. (Compliant with the GVG protocol)• Crosspoint switch• Wipe pattern selection• Transition mode (MIX/WIPE) selection• Auto transition time setting• Auto transition executionIf the [AUX] switch is pressed twice, the lamp of the switch will light up red.While the lamp is lighted up red, control exercised from an external source can be canceled.If the same switch is pressed twice again while its lamp is still lighted up red, the lamp is extinguished, and thecontrol exercised from an external source is re-established.6-2. GPI connectorThis enables auto take operations to be executed by an external device.Auto transitions are executed at the fall of the GPI signals.The signals are input using contacts. The auto take operations areexecuted using these contacts as triggers.Use an M3.5 stereo plug for connection with the main unit. AUTO TAKEAUTO TAKE
