RS-232 control

RS-232 control — allows low level configuration of the encoder or
decoder. Use the three poles to the right of the shared captive screw
connector (see

figure 6

,

R

, or

figure 7

,

R

on page 13). See

the

Attention

and

Note

boxes on page 14 for information about

preparing and connecting wires to a captive screw connector. See

Low Level Device Configuration

on page 24.

NOTE: The RS‑232 pins are not in the standard Extron

orientation. Ensure that the connector is correctly wired (see
the figure to the right).

Alarms

Alarm relays — provide a normally open (NO) contact. Use the first
two poles of a shared captive screw connector (see

figure 6

,

S

or

figure 7

,

S

on page 13). See the

Attention

and

Note

boxes on

page 14 for information about preparing and connecting wires to a
captive screw connector.

TTL

TTL (VNE 250) —the TTL (Transistor‑transistor logic) feature is not
currently supported.

Genlock

Genlock I/O (VND 250) —is used to synchronize the video output
on multiple decoders.

NOTE: The VND 250 uses TTL level signalling, which is not

compatible with normal genlock sources.

One decoder is selected as the reference (master) unit, and provides the signal that is used
to synchronize all the other units (slaves).

1.

Configure one decoder as the Master unit, using the web‑based GUI control program
(see

Genlock

on page 59).

2.

Configure all the other decoders as slaves by selecting the

Genlock check box

of the

web‑based GUI control program (see page 59).

3.

Connect the Ground connector of the master unit to the ground connector of the first
slave device.

4.

Connect the Out connector of the master unit to the In connector of the first slave
device.
